5.         A REVIEW OF THE ROSE BOWL OPERATING COMPANY (RBOC) GOVERNANCE
Recommendation:
(1)       Receive this review of the Rose Bowl Operating Company (RBOC) Governance;
(2)       Direct the City Manager to work with the General Managers of the Rose Bowl Operating Company and Pasadena Center Operating Company (PCOC) to develop amendments to their respective Operating Agreements to be considered by the City Council and the boards of the RBOC and PCOC, implementing the following in order to enhance oversight by the City Council of City Operating Companies:
            a.         Present information, during the annual operating budget review, regarding anticipated adjustments in salary 
                        and benefit line-items (revised recommendation from that presented to the Finance Committee);
            b.         Quarterly reporting to the City Council through from General Managers and/or Board Chairs;
            c.         Submit monthly financial information to the City’s Finance Director to be included in the Quarterly Financial
                        Monitoring Report submitted to the City Council Finance Committee;
(3)       Direct the City Manager to work with the General Managers to develop a policy for capital project construction management and return to City Council for consideration;
(4)       Direct City staff and the Rose Bowl Operating Company to jointly undertake an analysis of event coordination in the Arroyo; and,
(5)       Direct the City Manager to work with the Rose Bowl Operating Company to develop other proposed amendments to update Operating Agreement No. 15,703 between the City of Pasadena and the Rose Bowl Operating Company.
Finance Committee Recommendation:  On November 18, 2013, the Finance Committee voted to recommend to the City Council that it accept staff recommendations 2b, 2c, 3 and 4. In regard to recommendation 2a, staff had originally recommended to the Finance Committee that the City Council adopt the practice of formally establishing adjustments to salary ranges and benefit structures for City operating companies similar to that for unrepresented City employees. The Finance Committee did not accept this recommendation, but did indicate a desire to understand the assumptions behind annual amounts budgeted for salaries and benefits in each of the operating companies’ operating budget. Staff believes the revised recommendation 2a above is consistent with this approach.

Additionally, the Finance Committee recommends that the City Council direct the City Manager to work with the Rose Bowl Operating Company to develop other proposed amendments to update Operating Agreement No. 15,703 between the City of Pasadena and the Rose Bowl Operating Company. Staff supports this recommendation which is presented as Staff Recommendation No. 5 above.
