2006 Capital Budget Request
1) LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUBNIITTING REQUEST: CiTy of Saint Paul
2) PROJECT TITLE: Ordway Center for the Performing Arts Renovation
3) AGENCY PROJECT PRIORITY:
4) PROJECT LOCATION: 345 Washington Street, St. Paul, MN 55102
5) TOTAL PROJECT COST: $12,000,000
6) REQUEST FOR 2006 STATE FIJNDS: $12,000,000
'n STATE �CTNDS REQUEST FOR 2008: No funds are requested for 2008
8) STATE F'UNDS REQLTEST FPR 2010: No funds are requested for 2010
9) NON-STATE FUNDS AVAILABLE:
Ordway Center's local match is provided from two sources:
1. Bridge/Endowment Campaign
Ordway Center is completing its third year of a seven-year stabilization campaign,
successfully balancing its budget for the first two years. In order to continue to be
financially viable, Ordway Center has embarked on a major effort to raise an
increased level of operaring funds. The ixnmediate, underlying financial challenge
facing Ordway Center was to close the $1.5 million annual gap between the real
cost of operafing and maintaining this excepfional venue and the limited rental and
other eamed income it now generates.
Most large arts organizations find through experience that they can achieve
financial stability only when their endowment principal is at least three times their
annual budget. This enables these organizations to cover 10%-15% of their
operating expenses from endowment fund earnings. Ordway Center covers about
3% of its budget from endowment.
� "�
Thus Ordway Center has embarked on a fund raising campaign necessary for
survival — raising a minimum of $20-30 million in Bridge/Endowment funds
between now and FY2010, with nearly $9 million already raised or pledged.
2. $45 Million Original Construction Cost Privately Financed
Ordway Center was built for $45 million entirely by private investment and opened
to national acclaim in 1985. The ownership of the building will be transferred to the
City of St. Paul, effectively transferring the original $45 million private inveshnent
to public ownership.
It is obvious but necessary to acknowledge that the current value of the land and
building that houses Ordway Center for Performing Arts far exceed the original $45
million of construction costs. Thus the transfer of Ordway Center to the public
ownership of the City provides a contribution by Ordway Center substantially in
excess of $45M.
10) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND RATIONALE:
This request is for $12 million to predesign, design, construct, fixrnish and equip a
renovation of Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in St. Paul. This project is a
prudent strategy for renovating Minnesota's premiere performing arts center in a time
of financial constraints. The renovation will include: fulfilling Homeland Security
Deparhnent standards, connecting Ordway Center to St. Paul's skyway system,
replacing seats, upgrading acoustics, and the creation (from underutilized space off the
Marzitelli Foyer and upper McKnight Theatre lobby) of a multi-purpose community
meeting room and special events space.
Ordway Center for the Perfornung Arts is a catalyst for the artistic vitality of our
community by hosting, presenting, and creating performing arts and educational
progranis that engage artists and enrich diverse audiences. Ordway Center's warld-
class facility includes two theaters: the 1,900-seat Main Hall and the 306-seat
McKnight Theatre. By its very nature, performing arts centers are an efficient venue
since they provide a home to a variety of arts organizations.
A Cultural Center
Ordway Center is the St. Paul home to three other arts institutions: the Minnesota
Opera, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and the Schubert Club. Ordway Center presents
its own Theatrical Season and serves a multicultural audience with its planet Ordway
programining and the Flint Hills International Children's Festival. Ordway Center
draws attendance from all four corners of the state.
O5- $�
Education at Ordwav Center
Over 700,000 students have participated in Ordway Center Educafion programs over
the last fourteen years. Ordway Center's Fducation pro�am is unique among arts
organizations in that it focuses specifically on cultural diversity. Ordway Center
provides educarional programs for teachers and students. Among the programs offered
aze the following:
• Living study guides: Arts Workshops for Teachers—provide hands-on
workshops that explore the art form presented on stage, followed by a
discussion on the connection of performances to curriculum.
• Ordway Center/COMPAS Residences�ffer a two-week in-depth
explorarion of an Ordway Center production and its art form in conjunction
with a trip to Ordway Center.
• planet Ordway Target� Season—a vital program of multicultural
performing arts highlighting artisfic and social diversity.
• Flint Hills Intemational Children's Festival— over 30,000 children and
parents attend a weeklong event that includes local and international artists
in performances designed to appeal to the creative spirit while addressing
subjects ofuniversal importance to children.
• Study Guides—Sent to all teachers two months prior to their class attending
an Ordway Center production. These guides have sections relating to
history, vocabulary, geography and activities to engage students in the
performance.
PROJECT DETAIL
Access to Ordwa�Center for All
When the City of St. Paul completed their skyway and tunnel system, it ended roughly
60 feet from Ordway Center's entrance. It is important that the public can easily access
parking garages and downtown St. Paul restaurants from Ordway Center. The addirion
of an enclosed walkway from Xcel Center to Ordway Center wiil enhance the publids
interac6on with Ordway Center. Also to fulfill the standards set forth by the Homeland
Security Deparhnent since 9/11, the stage door and the loading dock need to be
redesigned. This new design of the stage door will also allow artists with disabilities to
easily enter Ordway Center.
Acoustical Ups�'ade for Resident Arts Organizations
Ordway Center is a multi-use facility. It has been the St. Paul home for twenty years to
three resident arts organizations that produce world class beautiful music (The
Mimiesota Opera, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and the Schubert Club). Over these
twenty years, Ordway Center has leamed that the acoustics in the Main Hall need to be
fine-tuned for classical music users.
r ••�
By installing new acoustical panels and reconfiguruig how sounds travels in the ha11,
the sounds created at perfomiauces by these esteemed Miuuesota h'easures will be
clearer and enhance the experience for both the audience members and the artists.
Oualitv Performance S�aces for the Qaality Productions
Ordway Center has two active performance spaces (Main Hall and the McKnight
Theater). With a very competitive theahical indushy, both theaters require new
equipment including lighting, diinmer boards, and soundboazds, as well as new stage
floors.
Theater Renovarion far Audience's Comfort
Ordway Center for the Perfornung Arts opened its doors on January 1, 1985, and more
than eight million adults and children haue visited Ordway Center's two theaters since
then. This amount of use has been hard on the carpet, the seats, and the public
restrooms, especially from the over 63,000 Minnesota public school children who
participate in Ordway Center's education programs every yeaz. The renovation of the
Main Hall and the McKnight Theater will include replacing worn carpet, refurbishing
seats, and retrofitting plumbing. In addition, the renovation will include the creation
(from underutilized space off the Marzitelli Foyer and upper McKnight Theatre lobby)
of a multi-purpose community meeting room and special events space.
11) OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF FACILITY:
The City of St. Paul will own the facility or will enter into a long-term lease
arrangement with Ordwa}� Center, and Ordway Center for the Performing Arts will
manage the facility.

2006 Capital Budget Request
1) LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUSMITTING REQUEST: City of Saint Paul
2) PROJECT TTTLE: Como Zoo Polar Bear and Gorilla E�ibit Renovation
3) AGENCY PROJECT PRIORITY: 4
4) PROJECT LOCATION: Como Pazk Zoo at Como Regional Park
5) TOTAT. PROJECT COST: $10,000,000
� REQUEST FOR 2006 STATE F`UNDS: $10,000,000
'n STATE FUNDS REQUEST FOR 2008: $ TBD
8) STATE FUNDS REQUEST FPR 2010: $ TBD
9) NON-STATE FUNDS AVAILABLE:
The Como Zoo and Conservatory Society has committed to raise private dollars
for this project and anticipate setting their financial goal amount later this year.
10) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND RATIONALE:
This habitat renovation has regional and statewide significance. Como Zoo is
located in Como Regional Park, a family destinarion visited by over two million
people a year. The Zoo and Conservatory are visited by one million peopie a year.
Only 20% of these visitors aze from the City of Saint Pau1, making the Regional
Park and all of its eachibits and ameniries a top destination in the region.
Previous Zoo renovations were done during the 1970's and 1980's. Over the last
twenty years e�ibit standards and practices as well as animal care have changed
dramatically. In order to ma3ntain a credible and viable zoo, exhibits must he
brought up to date to ensure both the health and vitality of the animals as well
as provide the most enriching educational opporhxnity for visitors. The request is
for state funding to pre-design, design, construct, furnish and equip new polar bear
and outdoor gorilla eathibits, two of Como Zoo's signature animals.
� ;.
The polar bear e�ibit is inadequate to e�ibit beazs fi the auiinal care,
zookeeper, and visitar perspectives. The new e�ibit would meet current zoo
industry standards with amenities thax allow the axumals to e�ibit natural
behaviors such as digging, s�vimm;ng, �d hiding. The current ezchibit is too
small, prolubiting many of these behaviors and the ability to establish a family of
polar bears.
The outdoor gorilla e�ibit will expand the e�sting small e�ibit space into more
natural environment for the avimals. In a larger space, with the visitors on the
sasne viewing level, the auimals will have an oppozhuiity to e�ibit natural
behaviors; this will provide the visitors with a much richer educational
experience. The design of the current exhibit is not adequate in size, causing
stress among the male gorilla group.
11) OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF FACILITY:
The City of Saint Paul will own and operate the facility.
I2) TOTAL PROJECT COSTS AND FUNDING:
The predesign and planning process will assist in further defining the specifzc costs
of the individual components of this project.
13) SIZE OF PROJECT:
The predesign and planning process will assist in further defining the exact size and
scope of the individual components of this project.
14) PROJECT CONSTRUCTIONSCHEDULE:
The predesign and planning process will assist in further defining the specific
construction schedule for this project.
15) STATE OPERATING DOLLARS:
NONE. The City of Saint Paul will own and operate the facility.
16) RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT:
This resolution will be auailable at the September 30�' submission date.

4) PROJECT LOCATION:
This bonding request is being submitted }ointly with requests from Ramsey
County (through its Regional Rail Authority), the city of Eagan, and Dakota
County. The project relates to the restoration of Saint Paul's Union Depot to a
multi-modal transportation hub. The bonding projects called for in these
proposals assunne the successful completion of negotiations with the United States
Postal Service for the transfer of various pieces of real estate (including the
Concourse Building and the USPS office tower) to the city and county. When the
Post Office leaves its downtown location, it is assumed that USPS will relocate
most of the Saint Paul functions to its current facility in Eagan.
