Aquatic Activities.

a break-even net income basis and that, until such time as the Community Aquatic

accounts is set forth in Exhibit E (the "Chart of Accounts"). The parties agree that the
Chart of Accounts does not include all costs (such as water charges) incurred to operate

budgets put forth by BAC to operate the Aquatic Facility.
(d) The Parties agree that from time to time new expenses will need to be added to the Chart
of Accounts and included in the annual budget to provide more complete and accurate
financial accounting. The Parties agree and understand that these additional new expenses
will be incorporated into financial reporting promptly, but only to the extent that these
additional new expenses shall be paid in full by the City until the next budget year, at
which time such expenses shall become part of the budget.
(e) BAC shall not be responsible for any financial losses to the extent that they are caused by
(i) the City or the District's failure to perform Major Maintenance or to make capital
improvements as required by this Agreement, (ii) any other failure by the City or the
District to perform any of their respective obligations or responsibilities under this
Agreement; (iii) any force majeure event as provided in Section 11.3, including any loss
of revenue resulting from a closure of the Aquatic Facility pending the completion of
Major Maintenance or other capital improvements by City or District (collectively,
"Unplanned Down Time"). During Unplanned Down Time, the City shall bear 100% of

(f) If unplanned downtime occurs for a period of greater than six (6) weeks, then the City
shall only be responsible for the cost of key administrative services, including salary for
the Executive Director and basic information infrastructure.
(g) Dining Unplanned Down Time, BAC shall make all reasonable efforts to minimize any
costs that would contribute to the financial loss. All accounting records pertaining to
BAC Agreement Page 9 of 15
Unplanned Down Time will be made available to the City to ensure reasonable cost-
saving measures were made.
(h) In furtherance of the parties' objective to eliminate financial losses, the parties agree to
discuss and establish guidelines and benchmarks to assist and measure the reductions of
costs, increase in revenues, and increase in facilities use.
7.2 Financial Reporting_

person designated by the City Manager) on a quarterly basis the actual revenue and costs
for the preceding quarter.

the programs, BAC's cost to maintain the insurance described in Section 5, actual and
projected Minor Maintenance costs, Incremental and Allocated Expenses (as described in

by the City, and projected costs for any mutually -agreed projects.
7.4 Incremental and Allocated Expenses. The City and BAC acknowledge that certain expenses
incurred by BAC will be shared by Competitive Aquatic Activities and Non -Competitive Aquatic
Activities (collectively, Allocated Expenses"). Costs shared between the two programs will be
allocated based on the prior year's contribution to total BAC revenue. Allocated Expenses are
listed in Exhibit F (Allocated Expenses). Regardless of this internal accounting, an annual review
of pool usage by Competitive and Non-competitive programming will be completed in order to
ensure equitable allocations of allocated expenses.

covering direct program costs.
