(RT Holdings is a corporation <br />created by Eaton Vance for the purpose of owning and operating the SportsPlex); and authorize <br />the Chair to sign agreements, subject to final review by the staff and the County Attorney. <br />Commissioner Gordon made reference to pages 12-13 and the definition of "operating <br />revenue benchmark". She would like an explanation of how the operating revenue benchmark <br />works. She said that this influences how to word the management agreement for the facility. <br />Rod Visser said that the idea behind a revenue benchmark is to set a target as part of the <br />annual budgeting process. The point on page 13 about if there was some action taken that <br />should adversely affect revenues or expenses, then an adjustment could be made. An example <br />would be if after the Board of County Commissioners adopted their budget, and then the Board <br />might want to change the policy, that might affect the revenue. <br />
