Origin

(December 23, 2016) Report from the City Manager

Summary

The City is party to a Master Agreement with the Canadian National Exhibition Association (CNEA) and the Board of Governors of Exhibition Place (Exhibition Place) that governs the use by Canadian National Exhibition Association of Exhibition Place grounds for hosting the 18-day Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). The Initial Term of the existing agreement expires on March 31, 2017, and a First Renewal Term begins April 1, 2017. The Amended and Restated Master Agreement requires the Canadian National Exhibition Association to pay for services provided through Exhibition Place at Board-approved rates, which will increase payments to Exhibition Place during the First Renewal Term. In addition, the Canadian National Exhibition Association's year-round use of Exhibition Place buildings will be governed by separate leases entered into between Canadian National Exhibition Association and Exhibition Place. This report recommends City Council enter into an Amended and Restated Master Agreement, which has already been approved by Exhibition Place and the Canadian National Exhibition Association, and also authorize the Exhibition Place to enter into the two proposed leases with Canadian National Exhibition Association.
