Both of these programs are overseen and administered by advisory bodies to the City Council . The PCC makes recommendations regarding the use of Community Promotions funding and th e TBID Board recommends the use of the TBID assessment . Both boards developed a budget an d work program for the 2011-13 Financial Plan, and established recommendations for use o f funding in 2012-13 with respective contract considerations . TBID In 2008, the City released a RFP for marketing services (Specification No . 90895)and awarded the contract to Level Studios (now Rosetta Marketing Group, LLC .) as recommended by the TBID Board. The two-year contract had an extension clause of two two-year amendments if th e defined work scope met the TBID Board's expectations and was executed to the Board's satisfaction . This original contract had an expiration date of June 30, 2010 and the first extensio n was approved by Council on July 6, 2010 . Given that the Board continues to be pleased with th e results of the campaign over the past three and half years, including the developed website, tourism logo, and subsequent media campaign, it recommended that Council authorize th e second and final extension of the agreement through June 30, 2014 (Attachment 1 – Boar d Minutes). However, as with the first extension, the board recommended that only the first year o f the two-year contract receive funding as the board wanted to review the campaign success at th e end of the first year and determine the amount to be dedicated to this effort for the secon d contract year. Given the success of the media campaign, the number of consumers sent to hote l C6-1 Council Agenda Report – 2011-12 Community Promotion Contract s Page 2 sites, and increasing number of subscribers to the monthly newsletter, and the new social medi a component, the Board recommends allocating $597,000 in year one towards the propose d marketing campaign (Attachment 2 – 2011-12 Marketing Recap & 2012-13 Marketing Plan). In its budget deliberation, the TBID Board also considered proposals for the San Luis Obisp o Chamber of Commerce, San Luis Obispo Visitors and Conference Bureau, as well as continue d expenditures for the Central Coast Tourism Council membership, and Smith Travel Occupanc y reports . At this point, the TBID Board recommends that Council authorize the City Manager t o enter into the separate contracts with the Chamber of Commerce to establish a concierg e program at the Visitors Center . In its budget deliberations, the TBID board also recommends ful l funding to the San Luis Obispo Visitors and Conference Bureau . The partnership with Cal Pol y Athletics will also continue as the contract extended over three years and a new partnership wit h the Nature Corps for volunteer vacations is also recommended for support. (Attachment 3 – Lin e Item Budget Allocations). Any tin-appropriated fund balance will be used for promotion of new events to San Luis Obisp o and trade show attendance during 2012-13 . Promotional Coordinating Committe e The PCC started the 2011-12 fiscal year with the goal of revisiting its objectives and creating a comprehensive approach to managing individual, disjointed line item expenditures . It struggle d however to define the new proposition and decided to start over with defining the basics . With support of staff, it reiterated its position versus the TBID, re-formulated its mission statement and created a new three-pronged strategic approach that allows for diversification and/or concentratio n of efforts through the annual program development (Attachment 4 – Strategy Document). At its June 13, 2012, meeting, the committee used this document to refine and finalize the 2012-13 budget allocation and a new programmatic approach to some of its objectives (Attachment 5 – PCC Draf t Minutes). The following programs are therefore proposed : 1.Events/Activitie s Two components make up this program . Grants-in-Aid funding and events promotion fo r unexpected opportunities that come up throughout the year . The SLO Marathon and the vintage show Remnants of the Past are examples of such events . Both program now entail a gran t components and a support element that will secure visibility and proper marketing of the fundin g given to individual groups and organizers . 2.Beautification This element will look at projects/events/activities that restore or create new enhancements such a s signage, historical buildings, restoration, and public areas landscape . The committee will develop a program similar to Grants-in-Aid for events and release a request for grant proposals once a year . Though the committee has earmarked some funding for 2012-13, it will likely establish the progra m during this time frame . 3.Visitor Service s The committee recommends continuing the partnership with the Chamber of Commerce for th e Downtown Visitors Center and the production of downtown tear-off maps that have been ver y C6-2 Council Agenda Report — 2011-12 Community Promotion Contract s Page 3 popular amongst patrons and visitor services employees alike . Additionally, the PCC will a t continue PR effort to continue San Luis Obispo's presence in the media . FISCAL IMPACT The total amount currently budgeted in the 2012-13 Financial Plan Supplement for Communit y Promotions is $1,378,500 . Due to the increase in transient occupancy tax, the TBID fund is furthe r expected to carry over an un-appropriated fund balance . This amount will not be known until th e City's audited financials for 2011-12 will be substantially complete . However, there is sufficient funding for the contracts as recommended by the two advisory bodies . ALTERNATIVE S 1.The Council could choose to fund the contracts at different levels or modify the scope o f services . The advisory bodies and staff do not recommend adjustments, as the propose d contracts are the result of careful review, discussion, and negotiations between the parties . 2.The Council could direct the advisory bodies and staff to release Request for Proposals fo r all the services outlined . This is not recommended since the recommended contractors ar e well positioned to execute the established workscope in a cohesive and economical manner .
