At night, in between the big rains of
this green 2021 monsoon, crews from
Granite Construction have been
resurfacing selected lanes of Oracle
Road between Magee and Calle
Concordia.
Suddenly, thankfully, there’s a bit of
smooth sailing on Oracle for
motorists and commuters. Thank you,
Arizona Department of Transportation
– and come back soon!
We’ve all needed a smoother road, for years on
Oracle, and these past 17 months of the bumpy
coronavirus pandemic.
We’ve not seen this in our lifetimes. While we’re not
quite out of the COVID-19 woods – please, get
vaccinated – there is an end in sight, and maybe a
smoother path ahead for individuals, businesses and
community alike.
For the second year now, we present this more formal,
published Annual Report, a state of the Chamber,
delivered directly to you, our members. It paints a broad
picture of your Chamber, where we stand, what we are
doing, what lies ahead.
Broadly, we’re fine. We’ve lost members over the
course of 18 months, but we believe the trend has
been flipped. Our staff is excellent, our board of
directors engaged. Above all, we are humbled by your
enduring support. We’re grateful for it, we don’t ever
take it for granted, and we remain committed to your
success.
Just like Oracle, the
path should smooth
A letter from your President / CEO

It’s my privilege and pleasure to work with Duane
Macklin, our member services director; Kristen Sharp,
our events director; and new addition Shari Colson, our
business development director. Each of them has done
exceptional work for you. Like you, they’ve rolled with
pandemic punches. In my 10 years now, I’d suggest
we’ve done our best work since March 2020. Within,
please find some examples.
Our brand is founded upon individualized, personal
service, and shall remain so. Never hesitate to ask for
our help.
Every year, I say this: We’ve come a long way. We
still have far to go. Thanks for taking the journey with
us. May there be a smooth path ahead.
Dave Perry
President / CEO
On April 5, your Chamber made local arrangements
for a visit to Oro Valley by U.S. Rep. Tom O’Halleran.
Six business people met with Tom at The Overlook to
share their thoughts with the Congressman. Town
officials were on hand as well. O’Halleran’s tour
continued with visits to 4 OV businesses. Afterward, the
Congressman and his staff were grateful, and
impressed by what they saw in Oro Valley and its
business community.

Membership – 491 active
members as of Aug. 1,
2021. A year ago, we stood
at 544 active members. For
comparison, we had 491
active members in
November 2017. Our low
was 369, in August 2012.
Active membership
peaked at 586 before the
pandemic. Then, when we
stared at the possible
impacts of the coronavirus,
we saw the real possibility
of a 30 percent loss of
members. Thus far, it’s
been closer to 16 percent.
And, thankfully, we’re
slowly growing. For the
first time in 20 months, we
gained more members
than we lost in June and
July 2021.
Our goal – get back to
500, then go beyond.
Cash – Our cash has held
up, and in fact is growing.
As of June 30, your
Chamber had cash
reserves of $173,226, up
from $157,655 1 year ago.
Those funds are in 3 places
Key chamber
measurements
- checking and savings
accounts, at Canyon
Community Bank; in
certificates of deposit
with 10 Chamber member
financial institutions; and
in an investment account
opened last December with
Chamber member
Ameriprise Financial.
In total, those reserves
represent about 8 months
of standard operating
expense. Chambers strive
to have 6 months’ reserves.
We’re fine. The cash gives
us flexibility to spend
money on key initiatives –
the Shop OV summertime
campaign, and holiday gift
cards, for 2 – that are in the
best interest of our
Chamber and its members.
And it helps us to weather
the inevitable cycles of our
business.
5
We entered the hot season with concerns about local
businesses, and whether they can emerge from the always-
slower summer season while many experience a further-
reduced business volume because of the pandemic.
To raise awareness, your Chamber started its Shop OV
Summertime Campaign. We dubbed it the “Cure for the
Summertime Blues” – fans of The Who may remember that
rock ‘n’ roll anthem – and urged people to Shop Local, and to
Think OV First.
Out of the gate, your Chamber purchased $4,500 in $50 gift
cards from local businesses, and we’re giving them away. We’ve
had gifts from El Conquistador Tucson, Cox Communications
and the Oro Valley Rotary Club, boosting our card purchase
total near $6,000. Thank you, all!
To promote local shopping our friends at Cox
Communications created 2 30-second commercials for
Northwest-side cable TV and other systems promoting Shop
OV. Your Chamber and the Town of Oro Valley are splitting
the cost of that campaign.
Our goals are multiple – to raise awareness of the value of
shopping locally, to show businesses we’re pulling for their
success, and to help build relationships between consumers
and businesses. We hope a gift card is not a 1-time
transaction; rather, we’d like it to change behaviors for
mutual benefit.
Remember, Shop Local, and Think OV First!
In summer, and all
year, Shop Local,
Think OV First!

2021.
Those three would succeed Jeff Artzi of OOROO Auto and
Cindy Hanson of Silver member OneAZ Credit Union, both
of whom are term-limited. Jeff and Cindy have been great
assets on the board, giving us big thinking and steadfast
support. A third seat has been vacant.
Chamber board terms are 2 years in length, with a term
limit of 3 consecutive terms.

My Fellow Chamber
Members,
As we make our way to the
other side of COVID-19 and
one of the most challenging
times in all our lifetimes, I
hope that each of you, your
friends and loved ones are,
and remain, healthy and
safe. While, for many who are
still struggling it may seem
hard to imagine, the future
looks bright, and I am
optimistic that we can come
through this crisis better and
stronger than before!
Just as I said a year ago,
from my perspective, the
quickest way to get to the
other side of this pandemic is
by trusting science and
following the guidance of
public health officials. Get
vaccinated, follow CDC and
local health department
guidelines, wear a mask if
asked; do all these things to
protect yourselves, your loved
ones, and any fellow humans
you meet. Please, everyone
wants to feel safe out in our
community.
Since last year, your
Chamber staff has been VERY
busy; despite the pandemic.
Did you know that……
Nancy Boyle
Thoughts of gratitude,
appreciation and pride
We have visited businesses
all year long, and resumed
regular business retention
visits with the Town of Oro
Valley’s Economic
Development Specialist,
Margie Adler, and Mayor
Winfield. Chamber staff
visited dozens and dozens of
local businesses regarding
OVsafesteps.
The chamber heavily
promoted Oro Valley’s
participation in the 2020
decennial US Census. Oro
Valley had the Census’
second-highest voluntary
participation rate in the
state.
A letter from your Board Chair

Your Chamber created and
launched shopovaz.com as
well as #dineovaz, and has
purchased and distributed
thousands of dollars in gift
cards to help support local
restaurants and employees
of businesses hardest hit by
the pandemic. We undertook
the Shop OV Summertime
campaign, buying and giving
away more than $4,500 in
$50 gift cards from local
businesses to give away.
During the first half of 2021,
the Chamber focused
heavily on OVsafesteps,
processing receipts, delivering
posters, window clings and
floor spacers, advertising and
promoting the program, and
personally contacting OV
businesses by email, phone,
and in person to raise
awareness and encourage
business participation in the
program.
We’ve distributed
relocation packets, cut
ribbons, hosted the virtual
2020 State of the Town,
Economic Outlook and
Bioscience Spotlight events,
and continued providing a
variety of informed
speakers through our Let’s
Connect series. Now, fingers
crossed, we’re back to live
events.
One of those was in June,
the 2021 Mayor Steve
Engle Memorial
Scholarship breakfast at
the Westward Look, where
6, $1,500 scholarships were
awarded to deserving
Northwest-side students.
Tears flowed.
When I look back at all the
Chamber has accomplished
over this past year and
during a pandemic to
support both businesses
and individuals, my
thoughts are of gratitude,
appreciation and pride. A
huge round of applause to
Dave, Kristen, Shari, and
Duane for working so hard
to provide members with all
the Connections,
Community and
Collaborations possible.
Stay well everyone.

We returned to live and in-
person customer
development events – you
call those “networking
mixers” -- in May, and have
continued slowly ramping
those up into the summer.
Our 2021 Annual Meeting
and Awards Breakfast, the
Chamber’s 29th annual
meeting, is live and in-person
Thursday, Aug. 19, at El
Conquistador Tucson, A
Hilton Resort. Then, on Oct.
28, we plan to host our
largest annual event, the
2021 Oro Valley State of
the Town Address,
Luncheon and Business
Expo, live and in-person at El
Conquistador Tucson.
It’s been terrific to be with
our members and guests
after a necessary hiatus. We
want to keep the trend
going, and growing.
In July, after a thorough
process led by a board task
force, your Chamber board
adopted a 3-year strategic
plan, the Chamber’s first
such guiding document in
more than 5 years.
It draws upon 4 key areas
of focus – creation of a
strong financial plan, always
improving the customer
experience, building for the
future, and simplifying
what we do – with specific
tactics to pursue objectives.
We’re excited about it. It is
already changing the way
your Chamber staff thinks
about its work.
This community, and our
Chamber member
businesses, are poised to
thrive in a bright future.
Our organization is grateful
for and humbled by the
opportunities we have to
grow business and
community alike. Thank you.
The future ...
uncertain but bright

On May 6, 2021, your Chamber presented the first Greater
Oro Valley Bioscience Spotlight, featuring a virtual tour of
the University of Arizona Center for Innovation Oro Valley.
We interviewed UACI director Eric Smith. We shared
conversations with Dr. Souvenir Tachado, principal of the
bioscience startup and UACI Oro Valley tenant Souvie
BioDelivery, and with Dr. Iman Daryaei, founder and principal
of UACI Oro Valley tenant TheraCea Pharma.
We had a great talk with Nelson Alexander, PhD., the Roche
employee who’s part of a team creating potentially
groundbreaking methodology to analyze cancerous tumors.
And, for the first time, the Chamber awarded a $10,000
occupancy grant to uPetsia, winner of a sponsored launch
competition judged by experts and funded by the Chamber.
Additionally, Chamber members Scott Weible, attorney at law;
Rocky Point Technology Group, Andrew Hoffman; and
eVideo Creations, David Arond, provided in-kind services to
uPetsia as part of the
award.
uPetsia, which is
creating technology to
improve the breath of
dogs via manipulation
of oral bacteria, is now
a tenant at UACI Oro
Valley. In early August,
uPetsia hired its first
employee, Dr. Choong-
Hwan Ryu, as its
director of research.
His son will be attending
Basis Oro Valley this
school year.

Over the last 12 months, the Chamber hosted various,
online roundtable discussions with Oro Valley Mayor
Joe Winfield, members of town council, staff and Oro
Valley business people – those working in and managing
hotels and restaurants, health and fitness operations,
salons, and spas – so government and business could
learn from and help one another in the pandemic.

In June, your Chamber and its Chamber Foundation
awarded 6 scholarships valued at $1,500 each to deserving
students in the name of the late Oro Valley Mayor Steve
Engle.
The 2021 awards continue a Chamber tradition. Steve Engle
served as Oro Valley’s fourth mayor, from 1978 through 1990.
During his time in office, Steve would regularly provide
scholarships to deserving students from his own funds. After
his death, the Chamber assumed responsibility for raising
funds and making the awards.
The 2021 recipients are Christopher Te, Mountain View High
School; Matthew J. Colson, Pusch Ridge Christian Academy;
Valeria Sarahi Jimenez Granados, Canyon Del Oro High
School; Kirsten Jimenez, Grand Canyon University; Alexandra
Carrasco, Flowing Wells High School; Israel Solorio, Mountain
View High School.

We were able to celebrate our recipients and their families at
a breakfast Thursday, June 24, at Chamber member the
Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort & Spa. It was a
warm and emotional morning, certainly a highlight in the
Chamber’s year.
In 2021, the Chamber and its Foundation received generous
scholarship sponsorship gifts from AcaciaIT, Southwest
Kitchen & Bath, Oro Valley resident Kay Williams, Schulz
Financial Group, State Farm / Joe Foster, and Urgent
Specialists.
Volunteers are also pivotal to the process. We give our thanks
to our scholarship evaluators, spearheaded again this year by
Chamber member services director Duane Macklin. This year’s
applications were evaluated and ranked by Kay Williams, Lisa
Hopper, Brian Bickel, Anne-Marie Braswell, Dinny Cosyns,
Otton Suarez and Alan Dankwerth, each of whom has an
affiliation with the Chamber Board of Directors or the
Foundation Board of Directors.

To brighten the 2020 holiday season for people and
businesses alike, your Chamber embarked on a special
holiday gift card promotion.
The Chamber spent $3,700 of your money, and received
another $1,285 in gifts, for a total of $4,985. The money
was spent on gift cards, purchased from Chamber
businesses. In turn, we donated the gift cards to 3

YOUR CHAMBER...
18
Much of the Chamber’s efforts
during the pandemic have gone
toward OVsafesteps, the Town
of Oro Valley’s $1 million
business assistance program.
In summer 2020, Chamber
President / CEO Dave Perry was
part of a town task force to
analyze what aid would be of
value, and how to get it to
businesses.
The result was OVsafesteps, a business assistance and
promotion program that encouraged smart business
practices in the face of the virus, while assuring
customers of their safety, and getting funds to strapped
business owners.
Your Chamber widely promoted OVsafesteps, and helped
many businesses understand the program and how to
participate in it. Staff spent dozens of hours on the
doorsteps of Oro Valley businesses, checking in, listening,
learning and acting on their behalf.
Additionally, the Chamber – and specifically,
member services director Duane Macklin –
processed countless receipts to ensure
compliance, ease the burden on town staff
and make the payment process faster.
In the end, the Town of Oro Valley provided
216 Oro Valley businesses with
reimbursements for personal protective equipment,
marketing, professional services and hardship grants. In
sum, businesses have received $809,700 in pandemic-
related relief.
Your Chamber is proud to do its small part in this difficult
time.
For much of past year,
Chamber has aided OV
in OVsafesteps project

SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)22-06, authorizing and approving the addendum to the El Conquistador and Golf Courses
Purchase and Sales Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On April 23, 2015, the Town Council entered into a Purchase and Sales Agreement for the El Conquistador
Country Club and Golf Courses with HSL El Conquistador Golf, LLC (HSL). The agreement contains provisions
allowing HSL to lease from the Town the 9-hole Resort (Pusch) Golf Course and/or the La Canada Golf Course in
the event the Town decided not to maintain them as golf courses. A similar provision is included for the tennis
courts.
In January 2021, HSL opted not to exercise its right to operate/lease the Pusch Golf Course after the Town
declared it a discontinued course, effectively extinguishing their option in the Agreement. During the Town
Council's discussion regarding the installation of new irrigation for the La Canada and El Conquistador courses,
Council expressed interest in inquiring of HSL their willingness to relinquish the same option on the La Canada
course.
The Town prepared proposed language to amend the Agreement, which was subsequently approved by HSL.
Approval of this resolution would extinguish HSL's right to lease/operate the La Canada course should the Town
wish to discontinue golf in the future. All other provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Purchase and Sales Agreement with HSL El Conquistador Golf LLC (HSL) for the El Conquistador Country
Club and Golf Courses contains provisions allowing HSL to lease from the Town the 9-hole Resort (Pusch) Golf
Course, the La Canada Golf Course, and the tennis courts in the event the Town decided not to operate these
facilities in the future. In 2021, HSL opted not to exercise its right to operate/lease the Pusch Golf Course after the
Town declared it a discontinued course, effectively extinguishing their option in the Agreement. Approval of this
resolution would extinguish HSL's right to lease/operate the Canada course should the Town wish to discontinue
golf in the future. All other provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
The Amendment modifies five different areas of Article II of the Golf Management Agreement and Use and
Easement Agreement, an attachment to the Purchase and Sales Agreement, as specified on the attached.

by the Town or any Third Party on a full time basis as tennis courts or related tennis uses, the same
shall be deemed a "Discontinued Tennis Facility;" provided, however, that the tennis courts shall
not be considered a Discontinued Tennis Facility solely because of the temporary closure of some
or all of the courts for routine repair and maintenance. From and after the date that the La Canada
Course or portion thereof becomes a Discontinued Golf Facility or any Required Tennis Facility
or portion thereof becomes a Discontinued Tennis Facility, then and for a period of one (1) year
after any required use is discontinued, the Resort Owner shall have the irrevocable option to lease
the Discontinued Golf Facility or Discontinued Tennis Facility (a "Discontinued Facility Lease")
pursuant to the following terms and conditions:
a. The ResortOwner shall give the Town at least 30 days prior written notice of its intention
to lease a Discontinued Golf Facility and/or Discontinued Tennis Facility (sometimes referred to
as a "Discontinued Facility");
b. The term of the lease for a Discontinued Facility shall be fifty (50) years, and the
Resort Owner shall have the right to record a memorandum of the lease. For a Discontinued Golf
Facility, rent shall be due and payable in annual installments of $10,000 plus an additional annual
amount equal to the documented actual cost of capital improvements made by the Town to the
Discontinued Golf Facility amortized over the 50 year lease term. For a Discontinued Tennis
Facility, rent shall be due and payable in annual installments of $15,000 (for the entire Tennis
Facility and a prorated rate if less than all of the Tennis Facility is leased).
c. If the Town has encumbered the Discontinued Facility or allowed the Discontinued
Facility to be encumbered during its period of ownership with a monetary lien, then the Town shall
either cause the monetary lien to be released from title or shall timely pay, remain responsible for,
and indemnify the Resort Owner form all amounts due under such monetary lien during the term
of the Lease. Moreover, the Town at its sole cost, expense and liability shall terminate all golf
course memberships pertaining to the Golf Course Facility and indemnify the Resort Owner from
any liability or claims pertaining to such golf course memberships.
d. A Discontinued Facility Lease for the La Canada Course shall include the use
and lease of the pro shop, cart barn, driving range and other facilities related to the use or operation
of the La Canada Course plus all golf carts, tools and equipment, and other personal property
related to the operation or maintenance of the La Canada Course. During the term of a
Discontinued Facility Lease, Resort Owner shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses
of maintaining and operating the Discontinued Facility, including utility costs, and Town shall be
responsible only for real property taxes, if applicable. The Town shall be named as an additional
insured on any general or public liability insurance for the Discontinued Facility carried by the
Resort Owner, with minimum coverage limits of $1,000,000 per person and $2,000,000 per
occurrence.
e. A Discontinued Facility Lease may not be terminated by the Town except for good cause,
which shall consist of (i) failure to pay rent or other amounts due within 30 days after written
notice of a default, and (ii) any other event of default hereunder which is not cured within 60 days,
or such longer period as may be reasonably required provided the Resort Owner commences
reasonable good faith commercial efforts to cure the default within 30 days of notice and diligently
pursues a cure of the default.
f. The Town and Resort Owner may enter into a Discontinued Facility Lease for a
Discontinued Facility that replaces and supersedes the terms described in this Section 5.2.
However, in the event the Town and Resort Owner are unable to agree upon the terms of a
Discontinued Facility Lease then upon election of the Resort Owner a Discontinued Facility Lease
shall be deemed to exist pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.2 (modified only to the minimum
degree necessary to comply with Arizona law), and the Resort Owner may record a Memorandum
of Lease.
Schedule 2.4 Use and Easement Agreement, Covenants and Agreements Section 5.
Use Restrictions and Lease Option, Subsection 5.3
5.3 In the event either the Resort Course and/or the La Canada Course at any time becomes
a Discontinued Facility and is utilized by the Town as open space or a recreational amenity instead
of as a Golf Course Facility, then provided the Resort Owner does not elect to enter into a
Discounted Facility Lease for all or any portion of such Discontinued Facility, the Town shall
comply with all laws, rules and regulations with respect to such open space and/or recreational
amenity, and shall maintain, repair, and landscape such open space and/or recreational amenity in
a manner that controls dust, removes litter and debris, and landscapes and maintains the open space
or recreational amenity in a manner compatible with the operation of the Resort as a first class
resort property.
