• December 12, 2003 f-r ~, p ~ , ~ s Council Report 2003-18T
Approve HCA Inc. Cooperative Agreement Clarification
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a clarification of
the intent of the Cooperative agreement with HCA Inc, providina relief from the
langua_ e of the agreement, and to instruct staff to work with HCA Inc to draft language
for future consideration that will clarify the meaning and intent of "cooperative
revenues".
Adoption of this motion wil! provide relief to HCA Inc. from providing "excess
cooperative revenues" far revenues obtained in the 20p2-2003 HCA Inc. fiscal year that
were given for purpose in the following fiscal year.
Overview
At the formation of HCA Inc. a cooperative agreement was entered with the City of
Hopkins calling for a sharing of "excess cooperative revenues". In HCA Inc, fiscal year
2002-2003 HCA Inc. obtained sponsorship revenues intended for the 2003-2004 fiscal
year's operations. Due to the timing of the payment of the sponsorship, and the
accounting practices of HCA Inc. there appears to be a positive cash balance for the
fiscal year.
Staff is recommending that Council pass the recommended motion to clarify the intent
and purpose of the sponsorship dollars. Staff further recommends that the language of
the agreement be reviewed to prevent future similar issues.
Primary Issues to Consider

• What are the reasons HCA Inc. is seeking relief from the agreement
language?
!n her correspondence, Mary Jo Barton explains why she and the HCA Inc. Board feels
that the strict interpretation of the agreement is unfair and counter to the intent of the
agreement given the circumstances of the sponsorship revenue.
After review, staff concurs with the request and recommends the proposed motion.

Hopkins Center for the Arts Cooperative Agreement
Dear Steve:
HCA,1nc. is reviewing our financial position as ot= the recent end of our fiscal year. :ln
addition to preparing Form 990, the 1RS Non-Profit Tax Return, we are considering
various options to work with the City on our mutual goal of ensuring necessary resources
for successful programming at the Center for the Arts in the future.
Our Finance Committee requests clarification of the calculation of "Excess Cooperative
Revenues" under the 2000 Agreement. Paragraph 5(c) of the Agreement refers to the
"cumulative total" of expenses aver revenues. In prior years both our Forms 990 and our
Income and Expense Statements reflected net losses. The Income and Expense Statement
far Fiscal Year end June 30, 2003, shows net income of $16,896.46. As you may know,
this resulted from the receipt of grants in late FY2002-03 which are being used for artist
fees and marketing the 2003-04 Program Year. On the other hand, we still have mare
liabilities than assets.
If the calculation of the "cumulative fatal" is to occur independently each fiscal year, then
we would ov/e the City $8,448. If however, "cumulative" has it's customary accounting
meaning, we would not owe the City because year-end losses in the prior t~~uo years
exceed the net income this year. We do not believe it was the City's intent to penalize
HCA for success under these circumstances. A fair consideration of the situation would
be to ailnw its to use the grants far their intended purpose to support a successful Program
Year, and to enable us to work toward elirrzinating our debt. We could have taken various
steps to avoid this result, including delaying (rather than accelerating) the receipt of grant
funds, or using different accounting procedures available to non-profit organizations.
We would like to resolve this issue at the earliest possible date, so that we can move onto
address future fnancial issues.
Sincerely,
~~ ~~~~~~

BOARD SUMMARY
Shared Revenues & Organizat~ona~ Growth
11/Z4/03
SHARED REVENUES
Per the Cooperative Agreement: Revenues less expenses in an activity (fiscal) year
result in "Excess Cooperative Revenues" which are divided between the City and HCA,
Inc. equally. Therefore, for the period July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003 (our last
completed activity,~fiscai year), the Excess Cooperative Revenues are $17,110 and we
owe the City $$,555. (see section 5c of the Agreement for exact wording)
We believe this formula should be revised to take the following into account:
1. The reliance on a 12-month income to expenses "snaQshot" neglects to consider
the financial osition of HCA. Inc. at the start of this ep riod. In fact, we entered
the activity year in debt - as of June 30, 2002 we had $673 in the bank and
owed over $25,000. Taking this into account, we had na Excess Cooperative
Revenues for FYE03. According to our IRS filing, our year-end was actually minus
$8,. WHILE WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS, WE HAVE NOT YET REACHED
THE POINT OF EARNING AYEAR-END RESERVE.
2. The current wordin of the Agreement does not take into account revenues
received and expenses incurred durjnq a fiscal year for activities within another
fiscal year eriod. In spring; 2003 we received $10,000 each from American
Express and Cornerstone which are dedicated to programming & marketing
expenses in FYE04. In the future, the timing issue can be addressed by revising
our reporting from a cash to accrual basis. IT I5 ALSO IMPORTANT THAT
CONTRIBUTED REVENUES BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE TOWARDS
WHICH THEY ARE GIVEN.
3. While the Cooperative Agreement states that reimbursement of advances ~ the
C~ are legitimate event expenses and lower the amount to be shared, because
loan rinci al payments do not show ~ on a rp Ofit and Eoss statement they were
not factored into the Excess Cooperative Revenues figure. At the very least the
$5,000 payment made in 12/02, the final payment an our initial advance from
the City, should be taken into account in determining Excess Cooperative
Revenues. WE FEEL OUR FIRST PRIORITY IS TO PAY BACK DUR CITY
LOAN, THEN TO START- SHARING REVENUES.
BOTTOM LINE:
• We need relief from sharing revenues for FYE03 for the above reasons.
• We wish to work with the City Council to determine how we can help support the
facility at a higher level (addressing the $$8,000 subsidy) in a way that does not
jeopardize our continued existence.
• We recommend an eventual review and revision of the Cooperative Agreement in
light of what comes out of this discussion.

Re: Hopkins Center far the Arts Cooperative Agreement
Dear Mary Jo:
1 am writing in reference to your August 11 letter wherein you asked for a
clarification of the calculation of "excess cooperative revenues" under the 2000
agreement.
I reviewed Section 5a which includes a definition of cooperative revenues and
Section 5c which discusses the division of excess cooperative revenues and
have come to the conclusion that the agreement calls for Hopkins Center for the
Arts, Inc. to pay the Gity $8,448. I base this conclusion on the language in 5c
that calls for an accounting at the end of each activity year, and dividing the
profits on a year-to-year basis.
in your letter you discuss the fact that you have mare liabilities than assets. This
is true, inasmuch as the HCA Inc. has a loan payable to the City of Hopkins in
the amount of $17,000. Clearly, when the agreement was struck, it was
assumed in the agreement that there would be annual profits. While that has not
been the result, HCA Inc. should be congratulated for its efforts during the past
year.
While the agreement seems clear, it is also apparent that HCA Inc. would desire
relief from the agreement. This would require the attention and action of the City
Council. Should you wish to deviate from the agreement, my suggestion would
be a letter to the City Counci! asking for such relief. I can then place this item
before the City Council far their consideration.
Thank you for contacting me, and again, congratulations on this year's success.
Sincerely
Steven C. Mielke
