REPORT-IN-BRIEF: i
The PCC has completed its review of the City's contracts with the
San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce and the San Luis Obispo County
Visitors and Conference Bureau (VCB) for advertising and
promotional services for 1991-93 . Consistent with the City
Council ' s direction, the PCC is recommending two year contracts for
both the Chamber of Commerce and the VCB in the following amounts:
I
Current 1991-92 %Chanoe 1992-93
Chamber of Commerce:
Visitors Services $48,230 $52,040 (+ 7.9%) $55,162 (+6.0%)
Promotion $28,790 $30,275* (+ 5.0%) $32,062* (+6.09;)
Tourist WAter Awareness $ 5,800** $ 5,800** (+ 0.0%) $ 5,800** (+0.0%)
VCB $46,000 $50,925 (+ 10.7%) $54,000 (+6.0%)
* Includes $500 annual membership fee for Central Coast Tourism Council.
**Funded through Water Conservation Program budget.
With respect to the Chamber of Commerce contracts, the recommended
funding levels provide for a continuation of existing services in
the areas of promotion, operation of the Visitors Center, and the
Tourist Water Awareness Program. Recommended funding for 1991-92
represents a 6. 4% increase over 1990-91 funding levels; recommended
funding for 1992-93 represents a 6.2% increase over the City' s
proposed funding levels for 1992-93 . No significant changes to
services overall are planned for 1991-93 .

The same applies to the VCB contract. The funding recommendation
for 1991-92 represent a 10. 7% increase over 1990-91 funding levels
and a 10. 7% increase in the Community Promotion Program budget for
1992-93 , based on 3 . 5% of the Transit Occupancy Tax (TOT) collected
in prior years. Alternatives to a direct TOT allocation approach
are provided by staff.
The final component of the 1991-93 Promotional Program is the i
advertising contract which will be brought back for separate I`
Council consideration at a later date.
The Chamber of Commerce and the VCB concur with the PCC' s funding
recommendations.
DISCUSSION:
Background
i
The City currently holds four, one year contracts for promotional
and advertising services. The Chamber of Commerce holds two of
these contracts; one contract is for visitor services and the other
is for promotional services. A third contract is held by the San
Luis Obispo County Visitors and Conference Bureau (VCB) and
represents the City' s contribution toward the marketing of the
entire central coast as a tourist destination. The final contract
currently held by SJ Francis and Associates is for advertising
services. These contracts represent the City's total promotional
efforts.
i
All current promotional and advertising contracts are for one year
in length and funded with monies from the Community Promotional
budget. For 1991-93 however, as part of the decision to increase
the Transient Occupancy Tax, the City Council directed staff to '
evaluate the possibility of negotiating two-year contracts for
these services. This action would benefit both the City and the
contractors as it will align the advertising and promotional
contracts with the City's two-year budget process, reduce the
administrative paperwork, and allow the contractors to develop
longer term strategies for promoting the community.
The Promotional Coordinating Committee (PCC) is responsible for
reviewing the proposals for advertising and promotional services
and providing the City Council with recommendations for funding
levels. Once their review is completed, the recommendations are
then presented to the City Council for action. After the City
Council has acted on the funding levels and the contracts are I
approved, the PCC is responsible for monitoring contract
implementation throughout the year.

Review Process & Contract Recommendations
During March, two-year proposals were requested from the Chamber
of Commerce and the VCB. The PCC established an Advertising and
Promotional Subcommittee composed of Sam Ellis (who served as
Chair) , Jesse Norris, and Jack Gatz to perform a detailed review
of the proposals. It is important to emphasize that the City
typically negotiates directly with the Chamber of Commerce and VCB
for their services because it is generally felt that both
organizations offer unique services and are best suited to provide
promotional and visitor services.
I
The Chamber and VCB submitted proposals to the City in April. The
Subcommittee reviewed the proposals from the Chamber of Commerce
and the VCB and determined that they were reasonable and continued
to offer cost-effective valuable services to the City. The
Subcommittee presented their preliminary recommendations to the
full PCC at a Public Hearing on May 16, 1991. The full PCC
concurred with the Subcommittee's recommendations and directed
staff to forward the following recommendations to the City Council:
1. Chamber of Commerce
i
i
Visitors Services Contract - Under the Visitors Services
contract, the Chamber of Commerce provides a full-service
visitors center that is open to the public seven days a week.
The center responds to visitors inquiries; distributes maps
and promotional literature; and maintains information on
economic data, recreational facilities, and cultural events
taking place in the City of San Luis Obispo. The City has
held a contract with the Chamber for visitor services for over
30 years.
The Chamber of Commerce submitted a proposal for 1991-93
visitors services that will continue to maintain the same
basic services for each year. The Chamber's request for
$52, 040 for 1991-92 represents a 7.9% increase over the 1990-
91 contract level. The additional monies are requested to
offset rising cost-of-living expenses and increased costs
associated with advertising responses. The Chamber's request
for $55, 162 for 1992-93 represents a 6% increase over the
requested funding level for 1991-92 . At the requested funding
levels, the City's portion of the total cost for continued
operation and maintenance of the visitors center is 27%, which
is slightly lower than the previous year. The remaining 73%
is funded through the Chamber of Commerce and from sales in
the Visitors Center.

The PCC is recommending that the Chamber of Commerce Visitor
Services contract be funded for two years at their requested
level of $52, 040 for 1991-92 and $55, 162 for 1992-93 for a
total of $107, 202 . It is the PCC's opinion that the Chamber
of Commerce continues to provide valuable services to the City
and their justification for additional monies is reasonable
(rising labor and operating costs) .
Promotional Contract - Under the Promotional Contract, the
Chamber of Commerce provides promotional services for the City
to encourage travel to San Luis Obispo. This includes j
activities to generate free editorial coverage for San Luis
Obispo through a carefully orchestrated program of news
releases, letters and personal contact with travel writers and
editors throughout the state. The City has held a contract
with the Chamber for these services since 1973 .
I
The Chamber of Commerce submitted a proposal for the 1991-93
Promotional Contract that also maintains the same overall
services for each year. The Chamber's request of $29, 775 for
1991-92 represents a 3% increase over the 1990-91 contract
level. The Chamber' s request for $31, 562 for 1992-93
represents a 6% increase over the requested 1991-92 funding
level. The additional monies are requested to offset increased
expenses such as labor, postage and rent.
In addition, the Chamber is requesting $1, 000 ($500 each year)
to join the Central Coast Tourism Council (CCTC) , which is a
volunteer committee sanctioned by the State of California
Department of Tourism for the purpose of promoting increased
tourism through a cooperative marketing effort of the tourism
industry providers.
I
The PCC is recommending that the Chamber of Commerce' s
Promotional Contract be funded for two years at $30, 275 for
1991-92 and $32, 062 for 1992-93 for a total of $62 , 337. The
funding recommendation includes a two-year membership fee for
the CCTC. It is the PCC's opinion that the Chamber of Commerce
continues to provide valuable services to the City and their
justification for additonal monies is reasonable (rising
labor, rent, and postage costs) .
Tourist Water Awareness Program - The Chamber of Commerce is
also requesting a total of $11, 600 ($5, 800 each year) to
continue the Tourist Water Awareness Program for 1991-93 .
During 1990-91, a joint program with the Chamber of Commerce
was approved that encourages tourists to conserve water while
111111111111InM111 CTLy Of san LUIS OBISPO _
IUI COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Page 5
visiting San Luis Obispo. Under the joint program, the City
agreed to fund the costs of the materials (e.g. , tent cards,
stickers, shower hanger cards) and the Chamber of Commerce
agreed to design the materials and provide promotional
services needed to implement the program. The program has
been successful with a majority of local restaurants, bars,
hotels and motels displaying the provided materials.
Requested funding will be used to cover the costs associated
with reprinting and redistributing the materials.
The PCC is recommending that the Tourist Water Awareness
Program be continued into 1991-93 . The PCC feels that given i
the future uncertainties associated with the drought, it would
be wise for the City to continue to support this program. It
is important to emphasize that the Utilities Department has
agreed to fund the entire program for a total of $11, 600
through the Water Conservation budget provided that all
expenditures receive prior approval from the City's Water
Conservation Coordinator.
2 . San Luis Obispo County Visitors and Conference Bureau
Ji
Under the VCB's contract, the City's annual contribution
represents our share of the effort to market the central coast
as a tourist destination. The VCB's services focus on
promoting the entire county and include advertising and
promotion, participation in trade shows, brochure development
and distribution, publicity, market research, assistance with
group and conference planning, and film production
development. The VCB' s funding is derived from requests for
annual contributions from the County and each city within the
county. The City has held a contract with the VCB since . j
1987-88 .
The VCB has submitted a proposal for 1991-93 that provides for
a continuation of the same Qverall services as provided during
1990-91. Emphasis for 1991-92 will be placed however, on
increasing membership sales, advertising, trade show
participation and promotion, brochure production, and
publicity. The VCB will also concentrate its efforts on
increasing film production and group travel in the county.
During 1992-93 , the primary focus of the VCB will be the
continuation of these marketing programs.
The VCB's funding request of $50, 925 for 1991-92 represents
a 10.7% increase over the 1990-91 contract amount. Requested
funding of $54 , 000 for 1992-93 represents a 6% increase over
l the amount requested for 1991-92 . As has been the VCB's

3 . Approve promotional contracts for one year.
Under this alternative the Council would retain the current
practice of approving contracts with the Chamber of Commerce
and Visitors and Conference Bureau for one year only. While
this is a feasible alternative, it is not recommended. As
previously mentioned, two year contracts will align the
promotional contracts with the City's budget process, reduce
administrative paperwork, and allow the contractors to develop
longer term strategies for promoting San Luis Obispo. The
Chamber, the VCB and City staff concur that multi-year
contracts would be preferable to the one-year contracts
currently held.
