completion)
ln evaluating potential site, it is probably that the hotel will impact the rehearsal hall / backstage
performance space and loading dock of the Fillmore. Therefore, the Administration began
preliminary conversations with Live Nation to discuss the potential impact of this to their
operations and negotiate mutually acceptable terms if the City were to proceed with the
Convention Center Hotel at this location following the November 2015 referendum.
During these meetings Live Nation also raised some contractual terms that they would like
renegotiated.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends referral to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee for
discussion and direction.
