The staff attributes the 9% decline in bookings and revenue to the Centers 11 day closure in January for replacement of an original, main HVAC unit. In addition competition from other venues in the market affected bookings. There were only three weekend events in January 2013 vs. six in 2012. On a positive note, 60% of booked events utilized local Colleyville businesses to support their events. The use of goods or services adds to the City sales tax collection and supports local business revenues and retention. From continental breakfasts, catered dinners, linens, flowers and office supplies, the economic impact to local business was positive in Q2. In addition, civic organization bookings improved 14% over same period 2012. Citizen use of the Colleyville Center will always remain a priority with staff.
