Background
In January 2017, the City of Lake Elsinore approved the Agreement for Operational
Management of La Laguna Resort and Boat Launch with William’s Bait and Tackle, Inc. The
Agreement also had several extensions when the City closed the site, except for the boat
launch, for a major rehabilitation project. Due to the capital investment made by the City into
the property and amenities, City staff negotiated a new scope and operational needs in
anticipation of the opening of the campground. This new Agreement was created to incorporate
those discussions and to focus the scope on the strengths of the providers of services.
The facility maintenance and service operations require a comprehensive set of services and
expertise in order to maintain the enterpriseand that component was awarded to Endresen
Development on January 22, 2019.
Discussion
The Agreement will reflect operations for a period of time prior to for ramping up for the re-
opening and continuing through June 30, 2020 for both campground and Boat Launch
operations. William’s Bait &Tackle, Inc. has been a good partner with the City and has worked
in concert with City staff and officials to increase the positive standing of Lake Elsinore and the
campground to the community and visitors alike. The Agreement includes the staffing levels
necessary to provide Launch Pointe with the services it requires to operate according to its
plans.

Licensing Fees/Commissions
The following operations are licensed to WBT for which they will cover all associated expenses
and will pay the
Bait & Tackle Store

WBT has proposed a tiered approach to licensing fees and commissions, which rewards the
City by increasing the licensing and commission fees as WBT annual sales reached higher
thresholds.
1.Licensing Fee
WBT will pay the City a monthly licensing fee in consideration for exclusive use to operate the
Bait & Tackle store and the Bobber restaurant. The amount of this licensing fee will begin at
$5,000 dollars per month and will be paid to the City on the first of every subsequent month.
When the combined annual grosssales from the Bait & Tackle store and the Bobber restaurant
exceed $500,000 dollars, the licensing fee will increase to $7,500 dollars per month, beginning
the following month. When combined annual gross sales exceed $1,000,000 dollars, the
monthly licensing fee will increase to $10,000 dollars per month, beginning the following month.

2.Commissions
The City will retain 5% of all annual combined gross sales from the Bait &Tackle store and the
Bobber restaurant for the first $500,000 in annual sales as commission. Once annual combined
sales exceed $500,000, the amount of commission the City retains will increases to 7.5%,
beginning the following month. Once annual combined sales exceed $1,000,000, the amount of
commission will increase to 10%, beginning the following month.
The annual period will run from May 1stto April 30th and reset each May 1st thereafter. The
commission amounts will be calculated at the end of each month.

< $500,000 5.0%$5,000
$500,000 -
$1,000,000 7.5%$7,500
> $1,000,000 10.0%$10,000
3.Special Events
WBT will, from time to time,bring special events to Launch Pointe and these events will result in
increased sales for Launch Pointe in the form of guest stays and venue rentals. In
consideration for the increased revenue these special events bring, WBT will be paidsix (6)
percent of all increased sales for these special events. This commission would only be payable
on guest stays in the RV spaces, yurt/trailer rentals or venue rentals including the community
hall or other areas of the property designated for a special event. The commission would not
apply to merchandise, food and beverage or boat rentals.
A special booking code will be established for events WBT brings to Launch Pointe and
commissions will only be calculated and applied to those bookings where that code is entered
by the guests prior to their online booking. Commissions will be calculated and paid out at the
end of the month.
City staff hereby present the Agreement for review and approval, subject to final review and
approval by the City Attorney.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact will be $878,178.24 as identified in the Agreement.
For special events brought to the property, the City will pay a 6% commission as described
above. The City estimates the range of commission to be between $2,400 to $30,000 annually
but is dependent upon WBT’s performance and programming.

Mr. Matt Woods

Launch Pointe Recreation
Destination & RV Park
32040 Riverside Drive
Lake Elsinore, CA 92530
Dear Mr. Woods:
I am pleased to present this proposal for services at Launch Pointe Recreation Destination & RV Park
(Launch Pointe) on behalf of William’s Bait & Tackle, Incorporated (WBT).
Our firm has been providing boat launch and campground management services to the City of Lake
Elsinore (City) at the current, La Laguna Resort & Boat Launch site for the past five years. In addition, we
have successfully operated the William’s Bait & Tackle store under an independent concessionaire’s
license at the same location.
Our staff share a passion and commitment to the City of Lake Elsinore, as well as the lake itself and are
very excited at the prospect of continuing our mutually beneficial relationship with Launch Pointe in this
new, expanded capacity.
This proposal contains the staffing necessary to provide Launch Pointe with the requested service levels,
based on our understanding of its needs. Addendum “A” at the end of this proposal lists the price for the
services included while Addendum “B” lists the job descriptions & qualifications defined for the positions
requested.
I warrant our staff have the necessary experience and capacity to provide the defined services for the
stated price. I further warrant that WBT is fully insured and all staff will maintain any required
certifications or licenses and WBT will maintain an active business license from the City.
Once you have had a chance to review this proposal, I would be happy to discuss any questions or issues
you may have.
Sincerely,
William Johnson
President,
William’s Bait & Tackle, Incorporated

SCOPE OF SERVICES
It is understood that Launch Pointe will operate as a year‐round resort. This proposal lists the
staffing levels necessary to provide Launch Pointe with the services it requires to operate
according to its plans.
WBT would like to provide services for the following areas:
Guest Services
Activities/Social Media Coordinator
Security
Housekeeping
Bait & Tackle Store
Bobber Restaurant
Marina/Docks
The remainder of this proposal will define the services WBT will provide to address the needs of
Launch Pointe, along with the price we will charge for each position.
GUEST SERVICES
Guest services is the most visible of the proposed positions and perhaps, the most vital. The first
person that your guests will encounter during their stay at Launch Pointe will be the people
working at the front counter. For this reason, it is essential that the staff in these positions are
friendly, welcoming and experienced at providing that first‐touch guest experience.
This proposal includes one full‐time employee acting in the capacity of guest services manager
and six full‐time employees functioning as guest services associates.
ACTIVITIES/SOCIAL MEDIA COORDINATOR
WBT knows that providing your guests with numerous opportunities to engage in fun activities
with other guests is important to ensuring all guests at Launch Pointe take away lasting memories
of their visits. Equally important is ensuring those memories are shared appropriately and timely
on social media platforms so that the Launch Pointe brand is fully marketed.
Our approach with this position is to mimic the functions of a cruise director on a ship. We will
provide one full‐time activities coordinator that will work to ensure there are plenty of regularly
scheduled activities for your guests. They will also be responsible for regularly posting
appropriate content on all social media platforms and monitoring the same to ensure the Launch
Pointe brand is represented in the best way possible.
3 | Page
SECURITY
WBT knows the importance of providing a safe place for your guests to enjoy their time while at
Launch Pointe. We propose two full‐time security positions to patrol during the evening hours.
HOUSEKEEPING
Housekeeping staff will be responsible for ensuring all yurts & trailers are always clean and ready
for guest rental/use. They will work closely with guest services staff to ensure rooms are
promptly cleaned and reset for the next guest. In addition to cleaning, housekeeping staff will
also respond to guest requests for things such as additional towels, coffee, etc.
This proposal includes one full‐time employee acting in the capacity of housekeeping manager
and two part‐time employees functioning as housekeeping associates.
BAIT & TACKLE STORE
It is understood that WBT will be granted an exclusive concessionaire’s license to continue to
operate the “William’s Bait & Tackle” store at Launch Pointe. WBT will provide the staff necessary

WBT will ensure all staff working in the store have any current licenses/certifications necessary
to work in an environment where food will be prepared and or served.
It is further understood that Launch Pointe will employ RFID payment technology, which will
enable guests to make purchases in the store using their issued wristbands, credit cards or cash.
Launch Pointe will provide the store with multiple NOMAD RFID readers, each of which will be
paired with an accompanying iPad. The iPads will be configured with the entire inventory of the
store and every transaction will be made using this RFID technology.
WBT understands it was necessary for the City to invest a considerable amount of capital to bring
the store up to current standards. In consideration for this exclusive opportunity, WBT will pay
to the City each month a percentage of all sales made during that previous month, along with a
license fee for exclusive use of the facilities.
THE BOBBER
It is understood that WBT will be granted an exclusive concessionaire’s license to operate The
Bobber restaurant at Launch Pointe. WBT will provide the staff necessary to keep the restaurant
open during normal business hours. The restaurant will offer a full menu including breakfast,
lunch, dinner and appetizers. In addition, beer & wine will also be served at the Bobber.
WBT understands that the restaurant will be a visible addition to Launch Pointe and will therefore
need to provide guests with a superb food experience. WBT will ensure the restaurant is clean
4 | Page
and inviting and will maintain an “A” rating from the County Health Inspector at all times. In
addition, all staff working in the restaurant or food preparation area will maintain any current
licenses/certifications necessary to work in an environment where food will be prepared and or
served.
It is further understood that Launch Pointe will employ RFID payment technology, which will
enable guests to make purchases in the restaurant using their issued wristbands, credit cards or
cash. Launch Pointe will provide the restaurant with multiple NOMAD RFID readers, each of
which will be paired with an accompanying iPad. The iPads will be configured with the entire
menu of the restaurant and every transaction will be made using this RFID technology.
WBT understands it was necessary for the City to invest a considerable amount of capital to bring
the restaurant up to current standards. In consideration for this exclusive opportunity, WBT will
pay to the City each month a percentage of all sales made durin g that previous month, along with
a license fee for exclusive use of the facilities.
MARINA
WBT has been operating the boat rental operations at La Laguna Resort & Boat Launch for the
past five years and are very pleased to have the opportunity to continue to serve Launch Pointe
in that capacity. WBT will provide all staff necessary to maintain boat rental operations during
normal business hours.
It is understood that Launch Pointe will employ RFID payment technology to facilitate all financial
transactions – including cash transactions. This technology will enable guests to make purchases
using their issued wristbands, credit cards or even cash. Launch Pointe will provide the Marina
staff with NOMAD RFID devices, which will be paired with accompanying iPads. The iPads will be

LICENSING FEES/COMMISSIONS
WBT would like to suggest a tiered approach to licensing fees and commissions. This approach would reward
the City by increasing the licensing and commission fees as WBT annual sales reached higher thresholds.
Licensing Fee
WBT will pay the City a monthly licensing fee in consideration for exclusive use to operate the Bait & Tackle
store and the Bobber restaurant. The amount of this licensing fee will begin at $5,000 dollars per month and
will be paid to the City on the first of every subsequent month. When the combined annual gross sales from
the Bait & Tackle store and the Bobber restaurant exceed $500,000 dollars, the licensing fee will increase to
$7,500 dollars per month, beginning the following month. When combined annual gross sales exceed
$1,000,000 dollars, the monthly licensing fee will increase to $10,000 dollars per month, beginning the following
month.
Commissions
The City will retain 5% of all annual combined gross sales from the Bait & Tackle store and the Bobber restaurant
for the first $500,000 in annual sales as commission. Once annual combined sales exceed $500,000, the amount
of commission the City retains will increases to 7.5%, beginning the following month. Once annual combined
sales exceed $1,000,000, the amount of commission will increase to 10%, beginning the following month.
The annual period will run from July first to June thirtieth and reset each July first, thereafter. The commission
amounts will be calculated at the end of each month.
Annual Sales Commission Monthly License Fees
< $500,000 5.0% $5,000
$500,000 ‐ $1,000,000 7.5% $7,500

Weekend receipts will be dropped in the safe at the Launch Pointe office each day and all weekend cash will be
returned to the City’s finance department each Monday morning.
Because the City will be receipting all sales revenue, both electronically and in cash form, it will be essential for
WBT to promptly receive monies owed from the City. WBT would like the City to issue a check for the previous
week’s sales and staffing invoices by Friday of each week.
Insurance
WBT understands that the City requires all vendors to maintain insurance policies to indemnify the City from
any liabilities. WBT agrees to obtain and maintain policies of the following amounts for the duration of its
agreement with the City
General Liability ‐ $2,000,000
Liquor Liability ‐ $5,000,000
Workers Comp ‐ $1,000,000
Commissionable Sales
It is understood that WBT will, from time to time, bring special events to Launch Pointe and these events will
result in increased sales for Launch Pointe in the form of guest stays and venue rentals. In consideration for the
increased revenue these special events bring, WBT would like to suggest six (6) percent of all increased sales for
these special events be paid to WBT in the form of a commission.
This commission would only be payable on guest stays in the RV spaces, yurt/trailer rentals or venue rentals
including the community hall or other areas of the property designated for a special event. The commission
would not apply to merchandise, food & beverage or boat rentals.
A special booking code will be established for events WBT brings to Launch Pointe and commissions will only be
calculated and applied to those bookings where that code is entered by the guests prior to their online booking.
Commissions will be calculated and paid out at the end of the month.
