PRESENTATIONS
1. CONTRACTORS REPORTS
Chamber of Commerce
Ermina Karim, Vice President for Government Affairs with the Chamber of Commerce, reported on
the Economic Development website status. The design was changed based on feedback provided by
the committee at the January meeting. She took the committee through the new design and the main
message portrayed. Business friendly is the main focus with the tag line "open for business".
Lindsey Miller, Director of Marketing, reported on in-county PR that saw placements in Men's Journal,
RTL European National TV network, and The Hindu. She will represent the City at the upcoming Cal
Poly Open House.

the Chamber and the changes he has seen.

reiterated the overall goal and strategy. The community awareness campaign was successful driving
traffic to 1,400 visitors monthly. Monthly e-blasts are being sent to the merchants to encourage active
utilization of the website. The agency is actively working on the next events brochure to come out in
June covering events July through December.
BUSINESS ITEMS
1. REVIEW OF COMMITTEE BYLAWS
ACTION: Moved by Fidler/Davis to approved the bylaws as amended.
Motion carried 5:0
2. BUDGET 2011-12
The three commissioners appointed to the budget task force reported on the Task Force meetings
and discussion that was based on the members' interpretation of the committee's mission statement.
They mentioned that they started with GIA and events promotion allocations as they see those two
efforts as essential. They also elaborated on the current efforts that are not working well enough for
the current investment and that objectives have to be redefined to become more ROI driven. This line
of thought brought the committee to the conclusion that the efforts have to be more incentive driven
and drive call to action. However, the task force members did not fUlly define the program and asked
the committee for feedback.
The discussion then turned towards the validity of efforts due to the budget cut and whether the
amount now allocated really allowed for effective programs.
ACTION: Moved by Billing/Davis to recommend to the City Council to augment the Community
Promotions budget by an additional $25,000 for the directional sign program and
$36,500 for full funding of the Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center.
Motion carried 6:0
3. EVENTS PROMOTION
Future of Work is a joint effort between the TBID, the City's Economic Development program, and
the Promotional Coordinating Committee. The conference will bring high level executives to San Luis
Obispo for a mid-week conference. The TBID was asked for $10,000, the PCC for $7,500, and
Economic Development for $2,500.
ACTION: Moved by Davis/Palazzo to allocate $3,000 from events promotion to the conference.
Motion carried 5:1

BUDGET 2011-13 -TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION ATIACHMENll
Taking advantage of the direction the PCC was given to consider a plan for next year that begins
with a clean slate, we are recommending a budget and program accordingly. As the budget
numbers indicate, we continue to consider the following items necessary and/or important
priorities: GIA, Signage, although at a less accelerated pace, and Support. On the other hand, the
strategy we are recommending regarding the balance of our budget, plus a modest additional
amount, mandates our taking the time to develop a cohesive and professional marketing plan and
to use the objectives and strategies that evolve from it to determine the specific programs we will
initiate for PR and promotion.
For the past couple of years, at least, programs have been initiated which did not necessarily
enhance each other even if though they may not have contradicted each other. It is our intent to
develop an integrated plan and programs that work harder, more synergistically and more
effectively to achieve the goals of our mission statement. The plan will include such things as
prioritizing and sizing the demographics of our target audience(s), identifying and prioritizing our
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) and establishing guidelines such as
measurement techniques, sustainability, incremental development, community inclusiveness,
consistency, synergy, etc.
Although we are particularly interested in exploring the benefits of integrated incentives to create
more dynamic participation in our promotion events and programs among residents, businesses
and tourists, we will look to non-committee resources/vendors to make recommendations based on
the specific RFP we develop after completing our marketing plan. Based on our objectives and
budget, what do they recommend? They too should be given a clean slate to consider and
recommend what they consider the potentially most effective strategies (Le. Day Glo billboards,
coupons, contests, TV commercials?). It is entirely possible that recommended strategies could
include adapting current programs such as Shop SLO/Dine SLO, but we do not consider that a
mandate. Similarly, we do not consider extending or renewing contracts with our current vendors
mandatory.
The budget recommended by the budget task force was amended below to reflect these changes.

BUSINESS ITEMS
1. CENTRAL COAST RAILROAD FESTIVAL
Curtis Reinhard presented the Railroad Festival's funding request for the third annual festival
that is planned for October 6 -10, 2011. The Festival will concentrate its program increasingly
around the historic Freight Warehouse building and the Railroad Museum. It mainly attracts
families and the organizer estimates that 20% of the 5,000 attendees come from outside the
county. The past two years, the Festival operated with an overall budget of $15,000 and close to
75% was allocated to advertising and promotion. He is seeking help with:
Inclusion in TBIDs ongoing marketing.
Assistance with the development of a detailed media plan to help attract more attendees.
Assistance with program development to capture usable attendee and market data.
Professional advice in updating the festival's website and advertising vehicles.
He believes that festivals such as the Railroad Festival make San Luis Obispo unique and that
this message should effectively be used in the overall message driving visitors to SLO.
Task Force Recommendation
TBID -Pay for Level Studios to give assistance requested for an amount not to exceed $5,000.
Funding should mainly go towards a media buy executed through Level Studios.
PCC -based on the TBID's recommendation to extend marketing support through its agency,
the active application from the Railroad Festival under Grants-in-Aid will remain active.
2. PLEIN AIR
Karen Kile with the Museum of Art requested funding for marketing efforts on behalf of the 10 th
annual Plein Air Festival. The Festival is well known throughout the nation as one of the premier
art festivals. The Festival is scheduled during the first week in October as it fits well into the
overall art festival calendar. Two-thirds of the buyers come from outside the 934 zip code and
the Festival has succeeded in bringing the high-end tourist dollars to SLO. Los Angeles, San
Francisco, and the Valley are the biggest feeder markets and people usually stay three days,
departing SLO on Monday. The Festival's largest expense items are the brochure and print
ATIACHMEN13
media buys. She is looking for in-kind help through Level Studios and possibly $6,000 for out-of
state advertising.
Task Force Recommendation
T810 -Pay for Level Studios to give assistance with outreach to the top markets to drive more
traffic to the Festival. Suggested amount is not to exceed $5,000.
PCC -based on the T810's recommendation to extend marketing support through its agency,
the active application from the Museum of Arts under Grants-in-Aid will remain active.

Information for the TBID -PCC Joint Committee
May 2, 2011
Basic Festival Information:
Third Annual Festival will take place from October 6-10, 2011. It will occur in multiple locations
throughout SLO County. The City of SLO be the hub of the festival with many events taking place in the
city. The Festival Headquarters Hotel will also be in SLO.
Approximately 5,000 locals, railroad buffs and tourists have attended the Festival each of the past two
years. We believe that the Festival will continue to grow in stature and attendance over the next few
years. The Festival has been very popular with railroad fans of all ages and especially with families with
young children and retired couples. My guestimate is that approximately 20% of the 2010 attendees were
from outside the County and that percentage should build yearly.
The Festival is attractive to rail fans of all types (models, history, Amtrak, etc.) and markets itself as a
general festival which also incorporates the area's other tourist elements such as beaches, missions,
wineries, quaint cities, Hearst Castle, etc. The Festival collaborates with numerous nonprofit and
commercial organizations. (See rack card and schedules for examples.)
Past marketing and promotions have been focused throughout the Central Coast and into So Cal and the
Valley. The Festival has relied on publicity couple with a limited paid advertising budget in the past. The
advertising has ranged from Westways and Sunset Magazine to TV spots in Santa Barbara and Monterey
County, from full page Tribune ads to rack cars distributed up and down the Amtrak coastal line. Media
coverage has been strong locally and has extended into San Francisco and LA in newspaper travel
sections to a 3,000 strong broadcast email list of So Cal model railroaders. I could use help in developing
a detailed media plan. The ad budget is controlled by the amount of sponsor and marketing funding that
is procured.
The overall budget for the past two years has been around $15,000 with close to 75% of that going to
advertising and promotion. The plan is to develop more sponsor funding and paid events to generate
revenue. The Festival's long term plans needs detailing.
Curtis Reinhardt. Director, Central Coast Railroad Festival
Festival Request for the TBID and PCC: ATTACHMENT!
The Central Coast Railroad Festival requests in kind help in the following areas:
Inclusion in your ongoing marketing the promotional programs
(website, regional and national advertising, promotional campaigns, social marketing, etc.)
Development of a Detailed Media Plan and Tourism Focus to help attract more attendees and
Increase hotel room nights in SLO
Development of programs to capture important and usable attendee and market data
Professional advice in updating the Festival website and advertising vehicles
My forte is in creating and developing unique events that attract and entertain the general public while
also garnering substantial press attention. Most of my experience though is in promoting local and
regional events to a regional audience. I could use the expertice and professional associations that the
TBID and PCC have established to push the message about the Railroad Festival beyond the local region.
I could spend much my available time researching, developing relationships and applying to all the
various BID's, Chambers and CVB's that now exist around the County leaving very little time to develop
the Festival. Likewise, I could spend substantial amounts of time developing national media contact lists,
marketing information, etc. -all activities that your staff and your associates have already developed.
seek to establish a relationship with your organization whereby I take the lead in developing attractive
events and collaborations and rely on the BID's to push the message out. This type of colloboration
would allow for a quicker development of the Festival and expansion of its attendance base.
I believe that the Festival has a strong potential and can be a unique part of the mix ofinticing
components that San Luis Obispo has to offer. Many of the California coastal cities that you compete
with for tourism dollars and bed nights have quaint downtowns, restored missions, beaches and wineries.
Very few have film festivals, eclectic music festivals, railroad festivals and Hearst Castles to offer. I
believe that these unique events and attractions make SLO special and should be effectively woven into
your overall message to drive visitors to SLO.
Thanks for your consideration.

SAN LUIS OBiSPO .....,museumO F·
The San Luis Obispo Museum of Art respectfully requests
Tourism Business lmprovement District funds to help attract high-end
tourists to the City of San Luis Obispo during its 10th annual Plein Air
Painting Festival beginning on Monday, October 3 through Sunday,
October 9, 2011.
Recognized nationwide as one of the country's premier arts
events, the Plein Air Painting Festival has been using paid advertising
campaigns in major art magazines since 2002 to attract art collectors
and high-end tourists to the Festival. Last year, we added a full-page
ad in SkyWest magazine and began using more online advertising.
In addition, invitations are snail mailed to over 4,000 past
attendees in California, as well as to the A-list of art buyers provided
by every Festival artist. The Museum also does extensive e-mail and
website marketing locally and regionally to reach new prospects.
Now, with gas prices at their current high levels, we anticipate
needing to make a marketing adjustment to more regional advertising
to attract tourists who live within one or two tanks of gas from San
Luis Obispo
The Museum staff would love to work with LEVEL Studios and
Verdin INK to maximize the effectiveness of its marketing dollars and
better promote San Luis Obispo as the premier vacation destination
that it is.
It's a win-win. The Museum puts on a major cultural event to
draw visitors to the area, and the City's Tourism Business
Improvement District promotes the event to help amplify tourism for
the City of San Luis Obispo, in turn leading to increased demand for
local lodging accommodations.
It should be noted that the Museum's staff has also requested
2011-2012 PCC funds in support of the Plein Air Painting Festival, and
understands that just one funding source is allowed.
Thank you for your consideration.
