MB spoke of merging City and GC - consolidation/merger
talk about - why or why not merge:
City has no risk of consolidation as city is already responsible for GC
City provides financial assistance - food and bev tax, hotel/motel tax, TIF
consolidation results in an immediate positive impact for GC and City estimated conservatively
annually at $200k w/ an addl one time benefit of $545k assoc w/ bond refinancing
benefits - create competition, implement of strategic plan, become financially viable, enhance tourism
and hospitality efforts, increase efficiencies for GC, free up revenues and financing opportunities, fits in
with Parks and Rec
Why or Why not - City already responsible for finances of GC, we already back the bonds,
implemention of long range plan requires City's assistance, GC is limited on revenue generation as they
cannot tax or generate revenues outside of enterprise revenues, offset costs of improvements to the
hospitality industry for capital improvements to include by using food and bev tax and hotel/motel tax
spoke of 70 ilcs 200/2-165 allows for board to dissolve and all transfers to gov unit (city)

finances - $545k in reserves assoc w/ bonds, city has better rate and can refinance bonds and save
over $52k, hotel/motel tax $1.2m, Food and Bev tax - $545k(check amount from presentation)
City gains $26m in assests. Assoc debt expires in 5 years (2022) with refinancing savings of $52k,
and operational savings
Authority will remain as advisory board. Assets transfer over to City. GC employees b ecome City
empl. GC already has budget in place based on revenues. All savings $ is reinvested back into GC
