Jan Howell Marx and John Ashbaugh .
Dear Mayor, Vice Mayor and City Council Members ,
I will be out of the state and therefore unable to attend the City Council meetin g
Tuesday, October 19, 2010 . That being said, I would like to give you my feedback o n
continuing the T-BID assessment . Being a Hotel General Manager in the City of San
Luis Obispo as well as a current member of the Tourism Business Improvemen t
District Board, I am very enthusiastic about the progress that has been made during th e
last year . It is vital that resources are allocated to promote the city of San Luis Obisp o
as a tourism destination as well as a perfect location for significant events .
I mimic my words from last year when I say - I have had the privilege of attendin g
almost every meeting since the San Luis Obispo's T-BID assessment board began . I t
has been a very positive and forward moving process and should continue to be fo r
years to come . The promotion of tourism is vital for our city so we can compete wit h
those communities around us who have even larger budgets . A larger budget allows u s
to seek marketing opportunities the City may not otherwise afford, and the T-BID wil l
enhance existing marketing efforts already in place by working together for the greate r
good .
It is time to show the world that San Luis Obispo (a very "Happy Plac e ") has so muc h
to offer the traveler, a very genuine, authentic,"Sincerely California "experience !
Respectfully,
OUNCIL G CDD DI R
