As shown, based on an estimated 10 full-time staff members, annual full-time salaries could<br />
approximate $380,000. Assum<strong>in</strong>g a 1.25 benefits multiplier, this would result <strong>in</strong> total full-time<br />
staff<strong>in</strong>g expenses of approximately $475,000. In addition, approximately $75,000 <strong>in</strong> part time<br />
labor expenses are estimated to be <strong>in</strong>curred on an annual basis, exclud<strong>in</strong>g certa<strong>in</strong> part time labor<br />
expenses that would be reimbursed <strong>by</strong> event promoters.<br />
It should be noted that the staff<strong>in</strong>g estimates presented <strong>in</strong> the table reflect the base event <strong>and</strong><br />
attendance operat<strong>in</strong>g scenario. Atta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the event <strong>and</strong> attendance levels estimated <strong>in</strong> the high<br />
scenario would likely require higher staff<strong>in</strong>g costs, as the additional event load would result <strong>in</strong><br />
higher costs associated with market<strong>in</strong>g, event coord<strong>in</strong>ation, ma<strong>in</strong>tenance, janitorial <strong>and</strong> other<br />
related expenses. For purposes of this analysis, it is estimated that total salaries, wages <strong>and</strong><br />
benefits expenses would <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>by</strong> approximately 10 percent <strong>in</strong> the high scenario, result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />
annual costs of approximately $605,000.<br />
Other Operat<strong>in</strong>g Expenses<br />
The follow<strong>in</strong>g are descriptions of the other specific expense l<strong>in</strong>e-items for which estimates have<br />
been prepared.<br />
• Utilities - Utilities often represent one of the largest expenses <strong>in</strong>curred <strong>by</strong> facility<br />
operators. Through an analysis of operations at comparable facilities, cost estimates for<br />
utilities <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g electricity, gas, water, steam, trash removal <strong>and</strong> other such costs have<br />
been prepared.<br />
• Repairs <strong>and</strong> Ma<strong>in</strong>tenance - General ma<strong>in</strong>tenance <strong>and</strong> service of a facility, equipment <strong>and</strong><br />
surround<strong>in</strong>g areas are primarily the responsibility of facility operations personnel, <strong>and</strong> are<br />
often performed <strong>by</strong> <strong>in</strong>-house personnel. More specialized needs, such as HVAC system<br />
ma<strong>in</strong>tenance, electrical work, <strong>and</strong> ma<strong>in</strong>tenance of other mechanical systems often must<br />
be contracted out to specialized third parties.<br />
• Materials <strong>and</strong> Supplies - Includes items needed for adm<strong>in</strong>istrative duties, clean<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong><br />
general ma<strong>in</strong>tenance throughout the facility. While event specific expenses are often<br />
billed directly to event organizers <strong>and</strong> promoters, general materials <strong>and</strong> supplies are<br />
necessary for day-to-day upkeep <strong>and</strong> operation of the facility.<br />
• Insurance - The <strong>in</strong>surance expense estimate <strong>in</strong>cludes property <strong>and</strong> liability <strong>in</strong>surance for<br />
the proposed facility. While each event is generally required to carry its own liability<br />
<strong>in</strong>surance, facilities often carry additional <strong>in</strong>surance to cover areas such as common areas,<br />
restrooms <strong>and</strong> other facility components. Insurance costs will vary <strong>in</strong> proportion to the<br />
number of events <strong>and</strong> total attendance at the facility.<br />
• General <strong>and</strong> Adm<strong>in</strong>istrative - Consist of various office <strong>and</strong> adm<strong>in</strong>istrative expenses<br />
<strong>in</strong>curred as a result of day-to-day facility operations. Such expenses typically <strong>in</strong>clude<br />
travel, telephone, pr<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g, permits <strong>and</strong> other miscellaneous services.<br />
