SUMMARY CommunitylD is a proven economic development strategy that can be immediately implemented by El Segundo. Buxton integrated proprietary technical capabilities with more than 500 cumulative years experience in retail and healthcare management and local economic development to create CommunitylD. This tmique strategy has brought both innovation and a disciplined approach to municipal economic development efforts. During the 60 business days it takes to complete CommunitylD, civic leaders are actively involved in the process and make important decisions that guide the direction and results. The four main phases of the process are: Researching and Verifying El Segundo's Retail Trade Area This phase starts with the in -depth collection of the same location variables that Buxton uses to qualify locations for retail clients. Because of Buxton's unique capabilities, we can translate specific information into market intelligence that community leaders need to attract and grow their retail sectors, become a proactive partner to local businesses, better understand industrial intelligence and healthcare needs. Evaluating El Segundo's Retail Potential The evaluation phase will clarify what makes El Segundo distinctive and valuable from a retailer's viewpoint. Through daily involvement in retail location analysis, Buxton has acquired the unmatched ability to evaluate a community's retail potential. Matching Retailers and Restaurants to El Segundo's Market Potential The consumer profile of El Segundo's trade area will be matched against the customer profiles of over 5,000 retailers and restaurants in Buxton's proprietary database. The final match list is developed with the input of community leaders so that it reflects the needs and desires of the residents. Delivering El Segundo's Marketing Packages Individual marketing (pursuit) packages for each retailer match are delivered electronically via SCOUT. Our exclusive online marketing system, SCOUT helps you to showcase your city in the best light.

NEEDS /CHALLENGES El Segundo wants to understand and then capitalize on the retail development, business retention opportunities, industrial opportunities and healthcare needs. As communities increasingly compete for retail dollars, attracting the attention of retailers has become more challenging than ever. Marketing your community plays a dominant role in today's competitive economy. The challenge for the community is to attract retailers and developers by providing trade area information that is complete, accurate and up -to -date. Using our proprietary methodologies, Buxton will collect and analyze your community's downtown trade area information and give it to you in a format that is easy -to -use and appealing to real estate executives and developers. The best information, however, is useless without a plan for using it. Much more than data collection, CommunityID is an execution strategy that can help you build or revitalize your existing marketing and economic development program. With CommunitylD, you will be prepared to: • Achieve your retail potential by establishing a long -term partnership with Buxton • Integrate retail development into youreconomic development program • Increase your success by preparing El Segundo to meet the needs of retailers • Effectively position your community by leveraging your locations' strengths and minimizing weaknesses • Convey El Segundo's advantages over competitors' advantages • Establish credibility with retail decision makers • Maximize time and resources by not pursuing unqualified prospects • Win the confidence and trust of prospects by understanding their priorities • Use competitive analysis to close the sale • Become a pro -active partner to local business owners • Understand additional businesses that can be supported (industry) 5 ,. a T amps Btmbon- E1 Segundo, CA: CommunitylD Proposal IV. GOALS AND DESIRED RESULTS The primary goals of CommunitylD is to prepare El Segundo to successfully expand its retail sector, understand sustainable growth, business retention, understand opportunities for industrial expansion, and healthcare needs. CommunitylD serves as the framework for developing a sustainable marketing program that not only achieves short -term goals but also endures to ensure the economic viability of the retail sector over the long -term. Such a marketing program will bring the following desired results: • Residents' desires to shop and dine at home will be fulfilled • Retail leakage will be minimized • Tax revenues (property and sale /use taxes) will increase • Employment opportunities will grow • El Segundo's ability to capture other economic opportunities will be enhanced • Healthcare needs will be realized 2 2. BwOoiy atlanzgydgCssaan El Se undo, CA: Communi ID Proposal V. PROCEDURES /SCOPE OF WORK Once you have engaged Buxton to work with you in developing CommunitylD, a project team will be assigned to guide you through the entire process —from initial data collection to final presentation of the results. This team consists of: Client services manager, who will serve as your primary source of communication during the project Geographic Information System specialist, who will analyze your trade areas and create customized maps and reports Professionals with backgrounds as retail executives and economic development practitioners, who will address your unique challenges and help maximize El Segundo's retail opportunities Staff Visits During visits to the community, Buxton's staff is able to make clear and candid assessments of the community's strengths, weaknesses and potential. Our daily involvement with over 1,900 retail and restaurant clients in finding optimal locations keeps us current on retail location trends. This provides a rational and analytical basis for helping El Segundo decide how to best focus resources on the most promising retail opportunities. Data Collection Buxton uses over 250 constuner and business databases that are updated throughout the year, and in some cases, every month. Although it is possible to obtain these databases for less expense on a community or regional basis, Buxton buys and is licensed to use the complete U.S. datasets. With this information Buxton will compare El Segundo's potential location to the universe of all retail locations operating in the U.S. The following are some of the more well -known sources used in our studies, but there are dozens more that we employ to provide additional insight: • Experian • Simmons • InfoUSA • National Research Bureau • Navteq Geographic Data • Dunn & Bradstreet Business Data 7 s Bui(bon Ototl�MgC toma = El Segundo, CA: Communi ID Proj2osal Identify Market Influencers All communities have special and often unique features that impact the local market and have to be taken into consideration to fully understand the market potential of the community. Such influencers include larger ethnic populations, significant new or expanded developments, labor pool, local businesses, historic sites, military bases, universities and colleges, destination tourist attractions, prisons, medical facilities or major employers. After identifying these market influencers in your community, Buxton will quantify and qualify their influence on the retail market and help to match retailers that can capitalize on these customer bases. You will benefit from the project team's expertise and insight in these areas: 1. Researching and verifying El Segundo's retail trade area 2. Evaluating El Segundo's retail potential for Downtown Historic District and other key retail area 3. Matching retailers and restaurants to El Segundo's market potential 4. Delivering El Segundo's marketing packages 5. Provide business retention intelligence 6. Provide industrial intelligence These major components comprise the CommunitylD process. Each component is explained in detail as follows: 1. Researching and Verifying El Segundo's Retail Trade Area The location decision process for all retailers begins with the collection, analysis and evaluation of numerous location variables such as demand density, customer buying habits, economic trends, competition, traffic volumes, and available sites, to name a few. The CommunitylD process for El Segundo will also start with the in -depth collection of data using the same location variables that we use for our retail clients to qualify sites for the location of their retail stores and restaurants. One goal is to define current retail situations in El Segundo, in the trade area and in any neighboring comintmities that impact on El Segundo's retail environment. The other goal is to understand the community's expectations and desires. This analysis includes personal visits to the community, collection of data components necessary to conduct the analysis and identification of market influencers. 8 4202 j Btr/,bon Mandf r nj Custmers, El Segundo, CA: CommunitylD Proposal Drive-Time Trade Area Definition Customers today shop by convenience, measuring distance based on time, not mileage. CommunitylD will employ a custom drive-time analysis to determine El Segundo's trade area. An example of a drive-time trade area is shown in Figurel. This custom analysis is developed using an in-house database supported by our knowledge of individual retail client's actual trade areas. The resulting drive - tinge trade area map will be a polygon that more accurately depicts consumer shopping patterns than trade rings. To assure the accuracy of the drive - three trade area, the draft maps are reviewed with community leaders and verified before proceedhig with the next step, 4202 Bw/ofon lbentlrylogCuawMerl. El Se undo, CA: Communityl.D Proposal Figure 1.Example - Drive -Time Trade Area 2. Evaluating El Segundo's Retail Potential The purpose of the evaluation phase is to understand what makes El Segundo distinctive and valuable from a retailer's viewpoint and scrutiny. Our evaluations capitalize on Buxton's knowledge about the retail marketplace and the location requirements and expectations of retailers. Combining this knowledge with our economic development competencies allow us to evaluate and recommend proven community practices. Our evaluations do not rely on dated government research or national /state statistics, all of which fail to reflect local realities. Rather, we implement our real -world experience gained from working with municipalities that have opened more than 35 million square feet of new or expanded retail space. We know how to help El Segundo sharpen your retail marketing strategy, aggressively market the city and improve your competitive performance. 10 4202 p Mend ingCua El Segundo, CA: Com muni ID Proposal Retail Leakage /Supply Analysis The Retail Leakage /Supply Analysis provides an estimate of retail dollars flowing in or out of the trade area. The two main components of this analysis are: 1) current sales (supply) by retail store type, in dollar amounts, and 2) estimated sales potential (demand) for retail store type, in dollar amounts. We first calculate a sales gap index that illustrates your ability to capture your residents' expenditures. An example of this index is shown in Figure 2. The sales gap index provides a relative comparison of leakage /surplus and an estimate of the dollars that are being spent outside the trade area (leakage) and the amount of dollars coming in from outside the trade area (surplus). This report can be run via SCOUT at any location within the map view. Figure 2.Example - Sale Gap Index Customer Profiling The CommunitylD process will identify and analyze all the households in El Segundo's drive -time trade area. Based on more than 75,000 categories of lifestyles, purchase behaviors and media reading and viewing habits (psychographics), the households in your trade area are assessed to gain an understanding of the types of retailers that would he attracted to your community. Our in -house databases include both traditional demographic data and the most current psychographic lifestyle information for over 120 million 11 4 2" r4 �� Btvcton la O /Ingc,•tom - E1 Segundo, CA: CommunilyID Pro osal households in the United States (as well as up to seven individuals living in each of these households). Each household in a trade area falls into one of 60 market segments reflecting the buying habits of customers in the household. The blue line in Figure 3 graphically profiles the households in a city's trade area. Figure 3: Exunple - Psychographic Profile E M W Retail Site Assessment Buxton will analyze 3 distinct retail location /geographic areas, selected by El Segundo. Based on our collective experience in retail locations, the following factors are considered: • Psychographic analysis of households in trade area • Demand for retail goods and services • Site setting, situation and configuration • Growth plans and relevant development • Retail goals of the community El Segundo to select the retail sites to be used for retail matching. If the complexion of customers is distinctly similar, El Segundo may choose to market the community as a whole instead of as 3 separate sites. If chosen, Buxton will separate retail opportunities based on operational status of each retailer. 12 Btr/&oiy "I I Wendvns colmmorr El Segundo, CA: Communi ID Pro osal Buxton will develop a demand density profile of El Segundo's trade area. Demand density measures the bottom -line value of the customers in the trade area —who they are, how many there are and what they buy. One of the significant advantages of Buxton is our ability to take the demand density data and to creatively translate it into a proactive market strategy tailored to take advantage of El Segundo's strengths and to achieve its retail goals. 3. Matching Retailers and Restaurants to El Segundo's Market Potential Once the site for retail matching has been selected and the consumer profiles in El Segundo's trade area have been determined, the CommunitylD process will match these profiles against the customer profiles of 5,000+ retailers in our proprietary database. In Figure 4, the blue line indicates the customer profile of households in a community's trade area. The red bar represents a specific retailer's customer profile. A similarity between the two profiles as shown in Figure 4 analyzed using Buxton's proprietary retail matching algorithm concludes that this site is an opportunity for a specific retailer to open a successful store. This matching results in a list of possible retailers. To develop the preliminary retail match list, Buxton analyzes a number of factors about each possible retailer to qualify it. This analysis is designed to eliminate those retailers that for any reason would not be a candidate for El Segundo. Considered in this analysis are such factors as, verification of a retailer currently operating or expanding into your market, location of operations in similar cities, and competition and cannibalization from nearby locations. Once tlus analysis is complete, the preliminary list of retailers will be discussed and reviewed with El Segundo. All retail matches will be available to El Segundo with the. ability to select specific retailers for contact information. 4. Household Identification Analysis Buxton will also review the residential growth level for the city and sphere of influence to analyze current and 5 year growth projections: What types of housing are associated with the consumers needed within the trade area in order to support El Segundo's long range retail market demand? 13 Bwlifoft �., Art El Segundo, CA: Communi ID Pro osal Analysis and identification of specific consumer household types and densities required to fill into the trade area in order to support the caliber of retail envisioned for downtown El Segundo in the future (this analysis will be guided by El Segundo's input as to what that retail development vision is either by identification of specific desired retailers or similar development corridors that El Segundo would like to emulate). Includes household indicators: • Demographics • Housing preferences • Incomes • Lifestyles and Life - stages Figure 4: Example - Trade Area Consumers Matched with Retailer Customer Profile 5. Delivering El Segundo's Marketing Packages Buxton will assemble individualized marketing (pursuit) packages for each targeted retailer. At El Segundo's request, Buxton will customize each marketing package for presentation to individual retailers, developers, real estate brokers or potential franchisees. Because it is tailored to the specific needs of the target audience, each marketing package is ready to use as collateral marketing materials providing compelling and precise information that demonstrates El Segundo's qualifications as a location. 14 .. i. Buxbon Wpnd�l uuomaft• El Se undo, CA, Cominunj!XID Proposal Each marketing package contains: 1. Map of the retail site and trade area 2. Map of retailer's potential customers 3.

Demographic and psychographic profiles of the households in the trade area Commtiuuty. D targets not only specific companies but also the individual in the company who has the responsibility for location decisions. To provide the best possible reception when El Segundo contacts the targeted retailer, Bunton notifies each company that El Segundo has been qualified by Buxton as a potential viable location for a store, restaurant or development and should expect to be contacted by a representative of the city.

Access to this Input- Output Economic Impact tool will enable simple, straightforward "what -if" scenarios to be performed 16 Btrxbon Ocnds ingCustomers• El Segundo, CA: CommHELtylD Proposal for any industry to get a sense of how that industry will impact the community Input- output models are constructed on a platform of data indicating interconnectedness of the industries, households and government entities that occupy a given geographic space. Its name steins from the fact that a portion of the output (i.e., sales) of one industry will appear as the input (i.e., purchases) of other industries. The input- output model is used to simulate in turn each of the alternative uses and among its many indicators; the impact of each use on the target occupations is examined. Alternative uses of existing resources, the impact of departing industries, the impacts of new industries, these are but a few of the policy issues addressed by a regional input- output model. Application: 1. The ability to effectively understand which new industries to bring into the region and which existing industries to expand to best meet the needs of a particular cluster. 2. The impact of new businesses moving to the area or to justify, promote and market proposed developments through a solid estimation of the impacts of proposed activities. 3. Gap Analysis - Displays in dollars how much a cluster purchases from other industries, and the percent of those purchases that are satisfied from inside and outside of the region. 4. Shows the impact of an industry in a cluster and how it affects the cluster as a whole, as well as the rest of the economy. Data Sources and Calculations Input- Output Data The input- output model is created using the national Input- Output matrix provided by the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis. This is combined with the national Total Gross Output, the regional Total Gross Output, the land area of the subject region, regional DIRT data and regional in /out commuter patterns in order to calculate regional requirements, hmports and exports. After using matrix algebra to calculate the regional multiplier, the resulting matrix is multiplied by the sales vector and converted back to jobs or earnings. Specifically, this data comes from the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis.

CONSUMER PROPENSITY REPORT Marketing and Merchandising Intelligence for Local Business- The Consumer Propensity Report (CPR), updated every 8 weeks, shows the lifestyle, product, and psychographic likelihood indices for the consumers within the trade area being analyzed. Major retail, restaurant, grocery, and consumer packaged goods firms use tlus very same information to drive marketing and merchandising decisions. 22 Buxbon at tntt ins customom. El Segundo, CA: CommunitylD Proposal Each analyzed item is assigned a propensity index score with 100 being average. For example, if the consumers within a trade score a 120 for a given analysis item you know that those consumers are 20% more likely to participate in or purchase that item than the average American household. A propensity index score of 80 would indicate that those consumers would be 20% less likely than the average American household to participate in or purchase that item. Information is provided for 32 major categories with over 4,800 total line items. Please note that line items are based upon national -level purchasing and lifestyle characteristics. These line items are then correlated to the underlying household characteristics of the consumers within the trade area being analyzed. Some line items may not be necessarily relevant or available currently in your market or region. The index score in these situations serves to indicate the degree to which the consumers would participate in or purchase that item if it were relevant and available. Often this is taken as an opportunity for expansion of a similar brand or concept within the category. The CPR is designed to assist the City to develop local business retention and expansion strategies. The City will be armed with fact -based data to assist independent retailers to make merchandising and marketing decisions.

ENDORSEMENTS /REFERENCES Buxton prides itself on exceptional client service that results in ongoing client satisfaction. Following are just a few of many endorsements from CommunitylD clients. Kingsport, TN — Jeff Fleming, Assistant City Manager Kingsport, Tennessee is a city of 44,000 in a county of 150,000 in an MSA of 303,000. Kingsport is part of the Johnson City - Kingsport- Bristol CSA (combined statistical area), with a population of approximately 500,000. Both Johnson City and Bristol are substantial retail centers as well. Tennessee distributes sales tax revenues based on point -of -sale, so retailing activity is highly competitive among municipalities and counties. There is no provision for a municipality or county to benefit from sales occurring in neighboring cities /counties, so it is definitely a high stakes proposition. Were you satisfied with the finished product? Yes, we were very satisfied. We were initially disappointed that Buxton did not identify some of the retailers we really wanted. They were very good to explain why we weren't a fit for certain retailers (like Costco, for example). If the numbers won't work, Buxton won't "cook them" just to make it look good. This speaks to their credibility in my opinion. It was an important "reality check" for our elected and appointed leaders to learn that retail isn't just a lobbying effort. It's a market -based research effort plus a lobbying effort. Was it worth the money? We have landed 2 shopping centers with the assistance of the Buxton data and we are in the process of redeveloping another. One generates $55 million in annual sales, the other generates $96 million. The third involves a complete overhaul of our mall (www.kingsnorttowncen ter. coin , where private investors are taking it from an appraised tax value of $33 million to $92 million. While all of it cannot be specifically attributed to Buxton, it was certainly an integral part of the success. So, yes it was worth the money. We have landed Target, Kohl's, Old Navy, Dress Barn, Lifeway, Shoe Carnival, Maurices, Michaels, Books -A-Million, ULTA, Dick's Sporting Goods, Best Buy, Tomy Thai, Batteries Plus, Ritz Camera, McAlister's, Hobby Lobby, Pier 1, Ross, TJMaxx, Petsmart, Chili's, Cootie Brown's, Salsarita's, Starbucks and Panera Bread. Did it require a lot of city staff time? If so, about how many hours? I wouldn't say it required a lot of time, but Buxton's timeline is controlled by the quickness of response from city officials. We opted to handle it at a staff level, i.e. there was not a retail committee or an elected body involved. I would say we invested maybe a 39 2 ' 2 - 416 Buxtoty ra�isc,,�,w El Se undo, CA: CommunitylD Proposal week's worth of 1 staff person's time (mine). Probably the most difficult process was deciding the beginning point for the analysis. We were hypersensitive about favoritism among competing sites. After the analysis was complete, was it easy to set up appointments with the identified retailers /restaurateurs? I have found that it's never easy to set up appointments with retailers /restaurateurs. In my experience, it is more important to support the developer(s) who are working in your community. For example, General Growth (the leasing agent for our mall and one of the largest retail management companies in the world) can get an appointment when a municipality cannot. The Buxton letter and data "greased the skids " for these meetings. GGP and I tag teamed the tenants. The tenant received individual letters from both GGP and I. When they arrived, they said they had never heard of Kingsport, Tennessee and now they hear about it every time they turn around. That is the power of the Buxton data. "Top of mind" name recognition that opens doors for your developers to be successful. GGP is just one example. Were you satisfied with the team members that were assigned to your community? Yes, they were great. They were very patient and helpful. As I said, they really helped us with a reality check without making us feel dumb! Have you used SCOUT and is it easy to produce documents? Yes and yes. I have also used it for non - retail projects. For example, we are siting an aquatic facility and I used some of the demographics in that site selection process. Were there any other hidden fees? Not that I recall. We were pretty skeptical, so we scrutinized greatly. We were not disappointed. If you were to do it all over again, would you still contract with Buxton? Absolutely. I have been very pleased. 40 4 -; s .. L as Buvtoiy IE"ZifyingCuxwmary El Se undo, CA; CommLmitylD Proposal South Bend, IN — Bill Schalliol, Economic Development Planner Did you go through an RFQ process? No. I met Buxton reps at the ICSC Spring Convention and my Mayor met Buxton reps at a regional ICSC event and we both were impressed with the services they offered and entered into a contract with Buxton through a professional services arrangement: Did you have any viable candidates other than Buxton? No. What we were shopping for at the time we crossed paths with Buxton was education about the retail recruitment and location process. Buxton, through their processes, helped us better understand who we were and what we could achieve. Did you face any opposition to hiring Buxton? If so, any advice on how to win them over? Several are very skeptical. They think we can do it in -house with the existing resources and that the demographic /psychographic information is readily available on the internet. Our local newspaper quoted some of our business leaders as saying, "We get three of us in a room, get some beer and pizza, and we could put together the same report that this Texas group is doing. How are a bunch of cowboys going to know what we need up here in South Bend ? ?" 1 can tell you from our specific experience, you can't do in -house what Buxton can do. The internet only will get you so far. And the key piece of information that the Buxton people give you that other services can't is the psychographic modeling component. Did Buxton deliver on the deliverables promised under your contract? Yes. We got everything promised and more. The data was fantastic and has been used again and again. We asked for an electronic copy of all the data and have put together data CD's for all of our real estate professionals and others that can use the data. Were there any "hidden" fees or surprises outside the contract with Buxton? We actually got more than we paid for. When we first started the process, we thought we were buying a product (and we did), but we also bought a relationship and so as we had questions we bounce questions off our reps. They have been great to work with. When you received your target information did the Buxton team give you any training or pointers on how to approach the target? That is the million dollar question. The answer is no and it is really no fault of Buxton's. As I have learned from the user community, everyone goes through the process for different reasons and asses the data for different purposes. We didn't really think through how we would use the data, so we struggled with things once we got our deliverables. But because Buxton has learned from communities like ours, thee.,/ have created a very helpful user network to put communities in touch with other 41 Buxt-on Dentlyft Cui rwmerr El Segundo, CA: Communi ID Pro osal communities. If you sign with Buxton, people all over the country are using this data and can help guide you. Did you hire a fulltime recruiter or did you handle the target contact with in -house staff? In addition to doing retail development, I do property acquisition, demolition coordination, and many other things. Once we realized we had all of this great information and had no tools to use it, we got all of our real estate reps and developers together, gave them the data, had a Buxton rep in to explain the data, and they have been using the data to bring retail to South Bend. When you don't have time to do it yourself, find people that do the job and use them, use them, use them. If you hired someone, what qualifications did you look for? A real estate background with some knowledge of marketing or a marketer with knowledge of retail would have been helpful. I think every person you talk to about Buxton would have a different answer based upon the needs. If you did it in- house, what qualifications /training did the person have? In my case, we got very involved with ICSC (International Council of Shopping Centers) and tried to learn as much as possible about retail and how it works. Did any of the targets suggest new construction as an option? Several of the retailers have built new construction or have become tenants in new construction projects. How many interested targets did you have and of those how many ended up moving to your location? How many of those are still there? Our process for our retail list was a bit different. Our market is a pretty commercial heavy market and so zve were looking for retailers that were here or looking to expand. We were also trying to find tenants for older commercial corridors or for other areas. We have had one true success off of our selected retailer list, but we have several that were on our original match list that we used the Buxton data to attract or support their decisions. The psychographic data was a good tool in those decisions. Of interested targets, what was their timeline for opening a location in your area? Texas Roadhouse, is open and is operating well above expectations. And with operating taxes, sales taxes and employee taxes that the restaurant pays, our study has paid for itself with just this one hit. If you had it to do all over again, would you do anything different? If so, please explain. Yes. We would have created a retail strategy and thought through the process a bit better. The advantage that new users to the Buxton process have is the experiences and 42 Buy.c'.Wa Odnfl�lq Customers, El Segundo, CA: CommunitylD Proposal succeises1fallures of flmse that htrue conie before them.

The psychographic and demographic facts have been well received by developers, brokers, retailers and entrepreneurs whose due diligence has brought them to our community. The addition of the SCOUT tool is consistent with the City's new technology brand and updated mission and vision statements. Your generosity will be felt each time the SCOUT is used to promote Rochelle and Buxton. We are pleased with the duality of your product and the superior level of customer service we have experienced. The professionalism of your staff is a direct reflection on the management team at Buxton. You continue to exceed our expectations. Clemson, SC — Andy Blondeau, Program Manager We're running out of places to put our new businesses... The Buxton marketing piece got us in the door. The site selector they sent to meet with us referenced the folder and said lie was there as a result. 44 BwAon 10amBiyingCu3toapaor El Segundo, CA: Communi ID Pro osal Pinetop- Lakeside, AZ — Connie Boggs, Main - Street Executive Director Tell us your level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with Buxton's report. Did Buxton deliver what they promised, on time and for the price you set with them? Our satisfaction with the Buxton CommunitylD report has been tremendous for Pinetop- Lakeside. We met with several of the retailers identified by the report at ICSC in Las Vegas. I was able to present them with their own individual study. Buxton delivered what they promised, on time and at the price we agreed on. They didn't just do a report for its they became involved in the community and they call its to find out what else they can help its with often. They just don't drop you after their work is complete. Would you use them again? If so, why? We will use Buxton again when it's time to update our report because of the initial work they did for us. We love working with their staff of professionals. Tell us your opinion on the success you have had, or not, in getting any recommended companies to locate to your area. After our meetings at ICSC I have followed up on the companies we met with. I am working on 2 big -boxes as we speak. Buxton has certainly opened the doors for its. Retailers recognize the Buxton name and realize our community is serious about -retail if we took the time and money to have Buxton work for its. What role do you believe the Buxton data may have played in supporting your recruitment efforts? 77iere is no better place than Buxton to get the best data out there. We depend on our second homeowners and data on this is not available or we could never have anyone else tell us where to find it except Buxton. When you present the Buxton report with the data available in your community to a retailer they listen. If you've been successful, or if your answer is no so far, do you know if other retailers are seriously considering your trade area because of this process? Buxton isn't the only answer to recruiting retail to your community. It is a tool. Your economic development team needs to be pro - active with the goals you have. In addition, to the Buxton report we just completed an economic development DVD along with community tip sheets that are also being sent to the retailers Buxton identified. It's an ongoing process. If I ever have any additional questions about a certain retailer not identified by Buxton I can call my representative and you can rest assured I will have a call from him before I hang up the telephone. The process is lengthy... meetings, telephone calls, emails. Some of the things they require are aerials (expensive unless you have a friend who has an airplane), site plans etc. I have no doubt that they will locate but it's not a 30 day turn around if that's what you are expecting. 45 4 " 0 2 - tai 4g BtriCcon IS wTlfringCustomers- El Se gundo, CA: Communi .

You don't let the Buxton report sit on a shelf and gather dust if you are serious about retail recruitment and our community is. Our Town Council is very pro - active and they increased my operating budget this year to give me the needed tools to do a better job. I am a one woman operation.

El Segundo, CA: Communi ID Proposal Duncanville, TX — Earle Jones, Director of Economic Development We have had a wonderfitl relationship with Buxton. Not only did they provide its with a Phase 1 & Phase 2 report in 2004, they have continued to work with us on various projects of importance to our overall City economy. We are a city of almost 38,000 residents and are small, 11.2 square miles, contiguous to and surrounded on three sides by Dallas. We are what is known as a first tier suburb, in that we are closest of the southern suburban communities that ring Dallas. Our major development took place in the 60's, 70's and early 80's. Our growth stagnated, and we have revitalized the City in the last 5 years, with some innovative new developments. Our most recent project success involves a 150,000 square foot Costco Club Warehouse, and a mixed -use multifamily and retail project with over 100,000 square feet of retail and 216 units of high quality, gated multifamily rental units along a creek which is to be a dedicated City Park with water flow, fountains, landscaping and lighting. We believe that Buxton played a significant part in our success in getting these projects. Thus far we have a number of restaurant prospects, several banks and a fitness club who have been interested in this location. I would most certainly recommend Buxton and their services, for the reasons outlined above. Denton, TX — Linda Ratliff, Director of Community Development Get your money's worth? Yes. In addition to the CommunitylD product, we asked them to review an incentive request we received from a developer for a 50 acre power center. We had never given retail an incentive at that time. Buxton's help with that project saved its $750,000 in incentives and the project was built and produced almost $2M in City property and sales tax in 2006. Get any of the people on the list of 20 prospects to locate in Denton? We either got the retailer or one similar. For example, instead of a Circuit City, we got a Best Buy; instead of a Linens N Things, we got a Bed Bath & Beyond. The only one we have not yet gotten is a furniture store. We have a few fitrniture stores in town. We were hoping for a Haverty's or something similar. What was the most important thing(s) you got from the study? We learned a lot about retail recruitment. The information was helpfitl in putting together our marketing pieces to distribute at ICSC (International Conference of Shopping Centers). We also learned the types of retail Denton could expect to recruit. 47 Bwl�On 4 2 0 2 - Mentifft Cuhomers. El Segundo, CA: Comm unl' PID Proposal, Would you use their services again? We have.

Et Segundo, CA: CommunityID Proposal Cupertino, CA - Kelly Kline, Redevelopment/Economic Development Manager Is there an estimated or "ballpark" retail /commercial square footage number that can be attributed (totally or in part) to Buxton's services? Are there any specific retailers that have located in Cupertino or another jurisdiction you served that can be attributed (totally or in part) to Buxton's services? It's very hard to make those connections. Let me give you some feedback and examples that explain why. • There are rarely immediate results in retail. Most respectable retailers are planning stores for 2 -3 years down the road in their development cycle. By the time you know for sure whether the eagle has landed, you, the City Manager, and the City Council may be gone! This money must be viewed as a long -term investment. • Sometimes deals go awry based on market conditions. We were very close to landing Borders in Downtown San Jose (thanks to Buxton's efforts) and then the bottom fell out of the bookstore industry. They'put a halt to all deals they had been pursuing, and now may not even last as a company. The Buxton match list can give you leverage with a developer who is claiming that there is no interest, or different interest than what actually exists. • I recently used my match list to retain an existing shoe store. Their sales had been down, and they were ready to abandon our city. I showed them that several of their competitors were on our match list, and that there is significant leakage in this category. This data made them decide to give us a second shot. They are now going to increase their marketing efforts and store presence before they -make any decisions about the fixture of the store. Bottom line — there are definitely a few total and partial success stories. But, more importantly, I can say that the list has opened doors previously closed tight, has extended conversations with retailers who had previously been "lukewarm'; and has provide value to me in so many ways that I can't keep count, Buxton is nay partner in retail recruitment. This needs to be viewed as a holistic and powerful tool for your program. It will take years for your program to be successful and to have the tangible success that your decision -makers are looking for. This will be an excellent first step. If I were you I would try to steer them away from trying view success as a one -store opening — it's a dangerous road to go down! In some ways, malting this expenditure is a stake in the ground — a commitment fi•orn the city that they value retail, 49 4202 . 4, 16 Btrvfoa IDencifft cummen, El Se&undo, CA: Communi!yID Propo,sal and that they are serious about their mcruitment efforts, Arelationship with Buxton sewds avery sh-ang message to Ohe retail coinmunihj.
