All right, we're moving right along. Arizona Bike Week funding request, presentation, commission discussion, and possible
recommendation to city council for bed tax expenditure up to $75,000 to support a one-year event funding agreement with FX Promotions, Inc. for Arizona Bike Week. Our presenter is Lisa Kerr of FX Promotions. Welcome.
>> Thank you, chair and commission. I appreciate you giving me this opportunity to give you a little preview of Arizona Bike Week 2026. Um, and thank you for your time and attention today. Uh, our event is going to be held April 8th through 12th at
Westworld of Scottsdale and this will be our 29th annual event. Um, it's a very visual event. So, I like to show a little video. So, this is um a video by one of our MC's, Jay Allen, who's a very prominent member of the
motorcycle community for a very, very long time. And this is unscripted. He said this all on his own. I didn't even know they were shooting the video. So, if you could play that. >> Check this out, ladies and gentlemen. 93 in of America coming right at you.
You're on overload when you come out to Arizona Bike Week. There's so much here. The beautiful women, the cold beers, and the kickass bands. We have thrill shows. These stunt riders are unbelievable. We have flat track racing. If you want
to shop, my god, this is probably the biggest layout I've ever seen in my 37 years of doing this. non-stop. And then when you see the demo rides and when Harley-Davidson, Indian, Kawasaki, and Suzuki say we're in, that means
they're spending major dough to get their 18-wheelers and put their people up to come out so that people can demonstrate their new, latest, greatest bikes. For people like Arizona Bike Week to say, "We get it. We understand the Arizona lifestyle." And it's become what
was an Arizona rally to a world rally. Check us out for 2026. And I promise you, if you go to Sturgis, Daytona, which I'm at all those events, Laconia, I even do other events in other countries. Don't miss Arizona White
Week. I stand backstage and I look out into those crowds and they're so happy. They're just grinning from ear to ear. It makes us proud that we can share this experience and make a memory together. Thank you so much for keeping Arizona Bike Week alive and checking it out. And
what's really cool is the more people that come, the more friends they bring and it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger and our family grows larger. So, welcome to the Arizona Bike Week family. Make sure to check your tire pressures. Make sure you got your riding gear on at
night. Have those night riding glasses. And we're going to have a great time. We're going to make memories next year. I'll see you in 2026. >> So, that's a little taste of of the vibe of our event. It's a lot of funloving people getting together to celebrate their passion for writing. Uh we started
in 97 the first year the event was actually held in Aendale and the second year it moved to Scottsdale and has been there ever since. Um, in 2006 we added nightly concerts, major concerts, and
that has really helped the trajectory of the event. Um, we're entirely owned, womanowned and operated, and we are proud to partner with the city of Scottsdale each year. There are two major components to our
event, the power yard and the rockyard. First, the power yard is where all of our motorsports activities are held. Um, last year we had about 250 vendors. We do our stunt shows in there, our bike
shows. We've got stages with different types of entertainment going on. We um employ a lot of the local musicians other than our headliners. We try to keep all of our other bands local and support our local music community. We do
racing events and um charity rides and factory demo rides and all kinds of contests and games. Um and then we have the Rockyard which is where our concert is held. And this year our concert
lineup is Blackstone Cherry, Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience, Cody Jinx and Ted Nent. And the concerts are really um what help us to draw the na n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n non- biker community.
Once we get those music lovers in, they find out what a fun event it is and that's helped our event to grow dramatically over the years. Our event is already rivaling other rallies that have been around 80 to 90 to 100 years. So we're really
proud of the rapid growth of our event and we look forward to continuing that growth. Um so these are um last year's out of area attendance statistics. Um 59% uh I think we were at 52% from out of area
the year before. So we continue to expand our out ofstate visitors. Um 33% of those visitors stayed in hot in Scottsdale hotels. Um the median stay was a little over three and a half
nights um resulting in about 3,200 and some odd room nights. Additionally, we um book all of the campgrounds at um Westworld. We utilize all the campsites available. We add an additional 210
temporary sites. All of those and about 110 camping sites and all of those are subject to bed tax as well. our consumer snapshot here. Um, statistics on our visitors. Um, almost every single one of our visitors says
that they do other things other than just hanging out at Westworld. They um are explorers. They come to ride and they like to explore the area. They love the dining, the shopping, and all the amenities that Scottsdale has to offer.
We track our attendance via um geo fencing that city of Scottsdale provides to us. Um we also do postevent surveys. Uh we use data from those surveys to figure out what our attendees want. We
send surveys to ticket holders, to campers, to vendors, and we um evolve the event based on what people are asking for. Um we are basing this year's projection
based on last year's attendance. Last year was a difficult year. Um we had for the first time in our history a headliner cancel on us three weeks before the event. We had to quickly replace them and that was difficult. Although concert tickets as we all know
were non-refundable. We had to honor refunds in the interest of customer retention. So, um, we didn't have time to promote the replacement band with only two weeks left till the event by the time we got a new band. Uh, so it
did affect our attendance. We also had some rough weather conditions last year, which is unusual for us at that early April stage. Um, it was cold and rainy at night. So, while we still had the out of town visitors that came because they
had planned to come and they still came, our local attendees are much more fair weather writers. They can afford to be. We have 350 days of fair weather, right? So, um but we are hoping for um much
higher attendance than that this year. Like I said, we're just basing it on last year's attendance. Um this is how our funding request is broken down. 25,000 going to um SEO SEM
and our web development. Our web is um a very dynamic entity. It's we're constantly adding to it throughout the year. We kind of start with a blank slate at the beginning of the year and add elements to it throughout the year.
we add charity rides and the event schedule and different stunt shows and different activities. So, we are putting ongoing efforts into our website. Um, then we've got 35,000 designated for
Google and social media. Um, obviously we know how important those are for advertising. And then, um, other types of digital advertising, 20,000. This is our um total marketing budget. Um almost $180,000.
And this is how it's all broken down. Um we employ uh and I do have to look at my notes to rattle off all of the uh different types of marketing that we are doing these days because it is changing
dramatically. And I am not young enough to keep up with all of it, but we hire people who are. So, um, we do, uh, music streaming apps, of course, where we can direct ads to somebody who's never
skipped a Led Zeppelin song or a Cody Jinx song, and we can direct directly target them. um web banners, non-s skippable video, paid search terms, email automation, lead generation, keyword contextual and site retargeting,
press releases, online event calendars, conversion tracking, extensive social media advertising on all the platforms, even Tik Tok. And um we geoence concerts, music festivals and motorcycle businesses to
um target devices that have visited those. Um it's complex as I said you know Google alone there's like five or six different elements to Google that you know we have people who specialize in in each element of Google. Um, we do
specifically utilize media sources that um, we think will best fit what we're trying to accomplish this year where um, we actually did a media buy with Cowboy Lifestyle Network to promote the Cody
Jinx show primarily. Um these are our statistics of um impressions um digital, social media, media, broadcast, web impressions and print
for um the community is very important to the motorcycle community in general. Um they are very philanthropic. They love charity rides. Here's a photo of our silent auction that goes on every year. We do daily charity rides, silent
auctions, live auctions, all different types of um community outreach programs. We actually on Sunday we turn the stage over to the teens from the Alice Cooper Saliv Rock teen centers. They are incredibly
talented talented young people and through the donation we make to the teen center, a lot of them are getting their first professional paycheck. So, um we're really proud of that. Um you know, we have a firefighters ride, we have
breast cancer charity rides, we have all different types of things. We have a lot of vendors out there on site that are doing um some type of community outreach. We also um The Vigilant Blood Organization is going to be doing a bike
giveaway. We're going to the Saturday before our event do a little ride to save lives where they're going to sign up to donate. We don't really want to do that during our event. We don't want people donating blood and then coming out to the event and possibly partaking.
So, um, we're doing it the Saturday before and and they'll ride to a a blood center and donate and then they'll get entered to win a bike and they're going to be doing the bike giveaway at Arizona Bike Week.
Um, so we continue to add events and elements trying to appeal to a younger crowd. We've got the um Amped Electric Games guys out there on their electric unicycles, which is definitely a young
man's sport. And um they're going to actually be participating in the Ecuadome in a formal racing series, as well as our flat track racing that will be going on in there and a slide school to teach people how to race who want to
hone some skills on the turns. And um we also added last year a VA club bike show and um the vehicles are bikes that have come out of the Chuco community. They are kind of like the low rider version
of motorcycles. Instead of cars, they're motorcycles. They're beautiful, intricately engraved and airbrushed, and they all tell a story. our first year out there. Um, with this show, we had
over 120 bikes and that's incredible for a first year show. So, this year we've added a second category or a separate show actually just for women class and this is our second women's bike show. So, we'll have two women's bike shows this year in
addition to all of our other bike shows. Again, this is just a breakdown of the event funding. Um, this shows the total amount that we are planning for in each of the category categories compared to the requested funds for those
categories. Um, the a lot of these are difficult to budget. You just kind of throw a number out. At the end of the day, you're watching how ads are producing. you might stop an ad and change an ad and you've got pay-per-clicks. So, you hope to stay in
budget, but you rarely do. So, um digital advertising is a little different than just buying a magazine ad. So, again, thank you. I appreciate your time. And if you have any questions
whatsoever, I'm happy to address those. >> All right. Thank you so much. Um, I have been out there. It is the energy is insane at this event. Um, it's it's really big and and fun. Um, so commissioners, do we have questions for Lisa?
>> I have a couple questions. First, um, as you consider the marketing approach, what I've seen from social media is it's somewhat edgy and what I've heard from it, it sometimes can be a bit the term
was used runchy or over sexualized. Um, in terms of how it relates to Scottsdale, is there a plan to better control that or are you aware of that? And is there uh some plan in place to make sure that we get a little bit more on brand?
>> Yeah, I will direct that. I will address that directly. We did run a contest. It was sponsored by a bikini company and um we had a content creator who got a
little overzealous in posting. We took all those down and we have cancelled that whole element. So it just it it wasn't on brand with what we were doing. So >> did that answer your question?
>> Sure. >> Okay. You got cockroaches and you got rid of the cockroaches, right? That's all you can ask for. >> That's right. Any other questions, comments? >> How are you coming up with your um hotel room night data?
>> Um it's based on the surveys. They they we ask people um where they stayed, how many we we take uh that and and um apply it to the number of attendees. It's very difficult to get reports from
the hotels. Uh they don't ask people what they're in town for. And we do have an on-site um hotel booking site, but unfortunately most of our attendees are not booking through
that. >> So you do you have a you have a housing company that's on that's on your website currently, >> correct? But they're not they're not providing you any trackable data. >> Um they do provide us with with data, but what we have found is that most of
our attendees are not using that. Everybody's desktop searching for the best rates they can find and they just aren't necessarily using the link on our site to book. Thank you. Other questions?
Okay. Um so at this point we will um be accepting a motion. Uh there's options here. We have the recommended event development funds. Um we can go with the full amount of $75,000 or there can be an alternate amount um brought forward.
So I will leave that to the commission to go ahead and make a motion. >> What what was the Steve? May I ask a question? What was last year's amount? Commissioners, we funded uh 62,000. Uh the recommend uh I believe the recommendation was for the full amount, but as you know, we do reconciliation
following the event and determine what the funding amount will be based on what we receive and it was 62,000. This will be the third and final year that bike week can participate in the event development program. Just little background information and they'll be heading back to the matching event advertising fund program next year.
So to clarify, if for some reason the full 75,000 is not the criteria is not met, um we the city goes back and adjusts that amount. >> Correct. >> That is something to keep in mind. >> I motion funding for the full 75,000. Do >> I have a second?
>> Second. >> All those in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? >> Thank you and congratulations. >> Thank you very much. And I want to invite any of you who would like to come out and see any of those concerts or all of those concerts just to let us know and be our guests.
>> Thank you so much. >> All right. Number six, Tourism Development Commission ordinance review. >> Madam Chair, commissioners, I'm Holly got it up here uh for presentation. Uh following last month's meeting, we did receive some comments suggestions and we believe we've captured uh the changes
and adjustment. As we know, our ordinance was dated. Um so we've made some clarification and removed some items and added some items. So one addition you will see in the red uh the membership shall consist of representatives of the tourism industry in Scottsdale including a minimum four
Scottsdale market area hotelers. We added market to define that defined in terms of the role as a director hotel manager or owner uh to a hotel that is a member of experience Scottsdale. So that kind of helps us further define that market area.
uh and then and the balance from other elements of the tourism industry. The K commission members shall be appointed by the city council. We took off that last sense just for further clarification. So I think we defined it a little clear. We've updated it. So if the commission would like to recommend moving this
forward through a letter from uh chairperson mineer to city council to place on an upcoming city council agenda for a change. >> Perfect. Thank you. Um, the only thing that I would look at, and I'll open it up to everyone else as well, is the defined as director, hotel manager, or
owner. I'm wondering if there's a better way to to put that like maybe at the director, management, or ownership level. Um, >> so you're saying defined as a director, management, or ownership. >> I just it it doesn't read right to me.
Maybe somebody else has a better way to to state it. Um, >> so you're saying remove after director hotel and just go with manager. >> Um, yeah, maybe that because it just seems strange because it would be a hotel director, hotel manager or hotel owner.
>> Okay. >> Or only clarify. >> So defined as director, manager or owner to a hotel that's a member of experienced cost. >> I I believe so. Does anyone else have any input? >> No, that's good. >> Is that okay? >> That's fine. Sorry. You mean like when
you say hotel manager, you're thinking like general manager or resort manager, like senior level, >> right? >> Um >> because I mean that was kind of my purpose with this is like to make sure that we have a a defined level of sorts even though I know different organizations call their positions different
>> things. So I mean if you have I'm >> happy to take any input of what that >> could be done. Senior management, I think, is an all-encompassing >> term that should >> capture exactly what we're looking for, which is usually >> director level and above.
>> Define as senior management. What do you >> No, we can change that as well. I think >> Yeah, I like that better, too. >> Senior. >> Yeah, I believe so because I think everybody has different titles and things. >> And I we're looking for someone who has an understanding of the industry as it relates to here in Scottdale and nationally as well. Yeah, we want it to be at a level where you know there's you
know the insight from >> and the accountabilities they they have financial and fiscal accountabilities. >> Yeah, I like that. Thank you. >> Any other changes or adjustments to this? >> Good.
>> Um if not um I will take a motion to have the changes made and then that letter drafted up for me to submit to city council. I move for you to draft the letter up and send it to city council. >> Thank you. Can I have a second? >> Second. >> All those in favor?
>> I >> I. Any opposed? All right. Thank you very much. Next up, we are event program funding requests. Um we have public comment on one. Um so I'm going to go ahead and start there if that's okay, Steve.
>> That's fine. So for item B under number seven, community event funding for Amorei Suare, Frank Guzo is here to speak with us. Welcome Frank. >> Good morning. Um, thank you for having me here. I'm here to actually just
address some potential questions or concerns around the event scheduled for February 6th and 7th at the Scottsdale Civic Center. The event is at the heart of the event. It's an EDM concert with the theme that revolves around golf
given the time of year with the Phoenix Open. Our original intent was to host the event. This is our second event at the at the Scottsdale Civic Center. Our first was scheduled or held back in November of 24. It was a successful
event. It was our first attempt at the event. It turned out to be um a lot of fun. Everyone enjoyed the event and we were hoping to have another one in November of 25 and unfortunately the space wasn't available so we've pushed it to February. Given the timing of the
year, um, we've incorporated a lot of golfing elements. So, it becomes more of an immersive immersive experience with putt putt, um, glow-in-the-dark uh, golfing experiences, uh, vendors that'll be promoting sort of their golf, uh,
stores and, uh, accessories. while there is a uh concert happening in the background and that's also accompanied with uh food food vendors. The event is being held at on the in the west bowl of the civic center and
incorporating the 360 stage. >> Okay. Thank you. Can you talk to me a little bit about ticketing? How that works? Is it a one ticket? You said the EDM concert's kind of the focus, but there's other stuff going on. So there's yes, there are three levels of tickets. General admission, VIP, and then Amorei Club. The Amorei Club would be sort of
the um exclusive uh event tickets. They'll be focused primarily um their seating will be on the stage uh itself uh sort of on the back end of the 360. The VIP section will be in front of the stage and then
cord and do will be the general admission behind it. >> Okay. Um, and then with vendors that you're working with, like you I see here top chefs and things like that, which sounds great. Are you getting people from Scottsdale to work with you or how are you and the golf experience like who's
>> So the golf exper I I don't know the specific vendors with the golf experience who they are, but I know that they're reaching out to the local Scottsdale community or sort of Scottsdale um vendors uh to sort of incorporate as many of those as possible. Uh with food vendors, I know
they had four outlined. We're only um bringing in approximately four food vendors that'll manage the crowd and I know that they've reached out the re the outreach happens within Scottsdale and then obviously if we can't get what we need in the city of Scottsdale then we
move outside >> but it's all local they're all local vendors >> and this is a one-day event. >> It's a two-day event. It's a It's um It runs Friday and Saturday from 5 to 11:30 p.m. >> Okay. Are you advertising outside of the
area? Are you expecting people to come in from out of town or is it more >> the bulk of the the advertising happens obviously within the sort of the geographical area but you know the way internet works there's the the I guess the outreach happens whether we like it or not goes beyond uh the city limits or
even the valley itself. So it does cover broader area within Arizona. the the database for Allure events. Um they reach out they have two databases. Um they their database incorporates a lot of national um emails as well. Um so
they may have people coming in from outside of town given the event that's also happening with the uh the Phoenix Open. Uh the outreach will happen. Uh obviously we're going to be capturing uh an audience from from that event as well.
>> Okay. Any questions? commissioners >> who I've seen some bands that are tied to this. Are those bands actually playing? >> I'm you've seen Sorry. You >> There were some bands that were tied to this event. Are those bands actually
going to play this event? >> I'm not sure which ones you're referring to. I know the headliner that was just confirmed yesterday is Zoo Zu. Um he's a Grammy nominated music producer uh Asian-American out of San Francisco internationally renowned. He
is playing he's performing um they tend to uh bring the the the performers capture their own audience and once they knows they sort of have their own uh you know sort of followers and they will
capture the audience as well. Other commissioners have questions. >> Madame chair and commissioners, we we asked Frank to come here today to just provide additional background on this fairly new event. >> Um, so he provided that in case you had any questions. Generally for our programs that we're presenting here, we
do not do presentations based on the program itself, but we we did ask Frank to come provide that information today. >> Yes. And thank you for forgiving. We just needed a little clarification. >> No, and I you know it's just personally speaking uh you know a few years ago I never would have thought of going to an
EDM event personally. Um I went to the first one um because I helped Romero at UR events host that one back in November and quite frankly I was very surprised at the crowd um and then also the music
itself. Uh we've the audience ends up being anyone sort of in their mid late 20s. Um we had people in the audience dancing that were I had one lady that I actually danced with. She was in her 70s. They were having an amazing time.
So it's it captures a broad audience and I invite all of you to come out and and actually check it out. >> Thank you. Okay. So um if there's no further questions, we'll go ahead and let Frank take a seat. Thank you so much. >> Thank you. All right. So, with our event program
funding request, we have the Pony. Steve, do you want to run through those real quick? >> Yeah, I will. Yeah, if we could do that just to define it and then have additional comments from staff. So, uh we're presenting here uh two community events. Pony Express, uh the event that Frank just ran through. Um the Persian
New Year's Festival is participating in the matching event advertising fund program. Uh and the global champions Arabian Tour American uh Scottsdale show which is new I believe but takes part during the regular Arabian horse show u presenting here today. So uh I believe
we have some additional staff comment on the Pony Express amount. >> Yes, thank you chairman here members of the commission. We uh in Scottsdale we've had a Pony Express reenactment for many many decades as you know. Uh we have a new event producer um started
last year. So this is year two. So originally uh with our funding calculations um number of years is a a calculation. So by the standard it um the funding request comes in um by the rules is
$4,500. Originally, we were thinking to recommend to you um to fund it closer to previous year levels, but at this point, we're withdrawing that and just going with the 4500 that they calculate out.
That event is um January 30th. We don't have time to take a funding request out of out of um that doesn't exactly match the rules to council. And so, the Pony Express understands that and is fine with that. and we look forward to seeing
you out there January 30th. >> Thank you. So to clarify on here, there is an ask of 10,000. Is that the ask? Is that what they're asking? >> They're calculated funding amount is 4500. So the recommendation now is to stay at that level at 4500. >> Okay. Okay.
>> And that's because it's outside the purview to ask for the additional 4500 or 5500 >> if we uh if you recommended something higher. we don't have time to take it to city council for their follow-up review.
So, they'd rather um have the secured funding that they qualify for with the this technically being their event uh the second event year rather than you know any sort of um hesitation on future funding.
>> Okay. Thank you. Any questions on any of these events, commissioners? >> So, I I I have one more. This particular group, how long have they been in Scottsdale? >> How long have they been doing this? >> We've had a Pony Express reenactment for many decades. This particular group uh
is associated with the Navajo County Sheriff's um search and rescue team, and they this technically is this event producers second year producing this reenactment. >> But was this the group somehow involved
before? >> Some of the members were involved before. There was a split that was actually adjudicated in court. >> Oh, okay. >> All right. Thank you. If there's no further questions, I will entertain a motion. Um, please clarify if there's
any changes to the amount asks. >> So, Madam Chair, just to go over community event funding program total asks here today if I'm math correct 10,500 matching event advertising fund is 30,000. Venue fee for the global champion Rabian Tour is 12,000. So
that's the uh recommended amount from staff here today. >> Can I >> I make a motion to move to fund the recommended amounts. >> I second. >> All those in favor? >> Any opposed? >> Thank you very much.
>> Thank you. >> All right. Staff reports. >> Yes. Included in your packet is our general tax collections uh our bed tax budget uh spreadsheet as well. So, if there's any particular questions, I think next month we'll do a little more detailed dive in terms of a presentation on the numbers. Um, but if you have any
particular questions on the financials, we're happy to review them or address any questions you might have. >> Thank you. Are there any questions? >> All right. Thank you, Steve. Um, commissioner's report. Anybody have
anything they'd like to discuss? No. It was actually a little slower for the holidays, but um we'll be ramping back up. So, we're looking forward to getting out there and seeing some of these amazing events we have in Scottsdale. Any other public comments, Steve? >> No public comments.
>> Thank you. Uh identification of future agenda items. >> Yes. In the February and March, we'll be bringing forward the event funding programs for review. Once again, we'll also be discussing the overall budget in the coming months, possibly here in February. And then next month we have the Western Conference Baseball
Championship which is taking place at the Scottsdale Stadium in May. So we'll be bringing forward that funding request next month. >> Is there anything else the commission >> would like to hear from or >> I don't think so. All right. With that
we need a motion to adjurnn. >> Motion to adjurnn. >> There a second. >> Second. >> All those in favor? I >> thank you all very much for being here.
