RE: Extension of Denton Chamber of Commerce Program Agreement to Sept. 1, 2022
Dear Erin:
1 have received your written request to renew the Economic Development Program Agreement
Between the City of Denton and Denton Chamber of Commerce executed on September 15,
2020 (the "Agreement") for an additional year, per Section 1 of the Agreement.
For reference, City of Denton Ordinance 20-1634 authorized the City Manager to execute the
Agreement to allow the Denton Chamber of Commerce to operate the Chamber Off -lee of
Economic Development, employ a Vice President of Economic Development, raise private funds
in support of economic development, and partner on a number of strategic initiatives from
October 1, 2020 until September 30, 2021. Under "Section 1. Term of the Agreement" of the
executed Agreement, the Agreement can be renewed and extended for an additional one (1) year
term if both parties agree to the renewal in writing.
The City of Denton agrees to your request for a one-year extension of the Agreement. This letter
serves as confirmation of the approval for a one-year extension of the Agreement and establishes
a new termination date of September 30, 2022. The fundraising and reporting requirements will
remain the same for the additional one-year period. All date references and reporting
requirements stated as occurring between October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021 will apply
equally to the same date in the period of October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. The City of
Denton will pay the Chamber of Commerce $125,000 for Fiscal Year 2021-22 in accordance to the
terms outlined in the Agreement, with two payments being made to the Chamber, per Section C of
the Agreement, in the amount of $62,500 on or October 31, 2021 and $62,500 on or before April
30, 2022. The Chamber of Commerce will need to provide an updated budget for the Office of
Economic Development for FY 2021-22 prior to October 1, 2021.
Sincerely,
Sara Hensley
