Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium
BACKGROUND
Disbursements made by the Stadium Authority are based on invoices submitted for payment. Prior to payment, staff reviews all disbursement documents to ensure that the invoiced goods or services have been provided.
The Bills and Claims listing represents the cash disbursements required of normal and usual operations during November 2023. Budget control is set by the Stadium Authority Board through the budget adoption process.
DISCUSSION
Effective August 31, 2022, the Stadium Authority and Stadium Manager agreed to the timely payment of Shared Stadium Expenses and other budgeted expenses in accordance with the Annual Stadium Authority Budget, except for buffet expenses invoiced pursuant to Section 4.6.1 of the Stadium Lease. The Stadium Authority maintains the right to confirm and dispute submitted charges from the 2021-22 fiscal year and subsequent years during a fiscal-year-end reconciliation/true-up. This is primarily done to address any concerns regarding improper allocation, calculation, lack of support, or failure to comply with applicable contracts or laws, among other reasons. The Stadium Authority may raise such questions with respect to any charge at any time before a fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up and the Stadium Manager must assess and respond to such questions in good faith.
At its March 7, 2023 meeting, the Stadium Authority Board adopted the Santa Clara Stadium Authority Fiscal Year 2023-24 Operating, Debt Service, and Capital Budget which runs from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024. Expenses paid in November 2023 include:
• Payment totaling $92,888.47 to the City of Santa Clara for reimbursement of General and Administrative (G&A) City payroll costs (e.g.: Executive Director’s Office (City Manager’s Office), Counsel’s Office (City Attorney’s Office), and Treasurer’s Office (Finance Department))
• Payments totaling $806,134.12 to Forty Niners Stadium Management Co, LLC for the following:
