BUSINESS ITEMS
1. 2010-11 EVENTS BROCHURE
The committee met with San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) representatives to
continue the discussion from the June 9, 2010 regular PCC meeting regarding an events brochure
element for fiscal year 2010-11.
Dave Garth, CEO and President of the Chamber, informed the committee that the Chamber analyzed
the project and came to the conclusion that it was not in the Chambers best interest to pursue this
contract as the project did not really fit into the Chamber’s mission and work scope.
The committee discussed whether a print version was the best way to pursue the objective or
whether other means should be considered. In their discussion, the commissioners considered
timing, consumer behaviour, and the most cost effective approach. After in-depth discussion and
consideration of a multitude of elements and possibilities, the commissioners concluded that a
Request for Proposal would be in the City’s best interest as the responding companies will develop
the most advantageous campaign for the funding available. The commissioners will send comments,
ideas, and thoughts to staff to be considered for the work description.
ACTION: Moved by Davis/Babb to release an RFP in the amount of $58,000 for City of San
Luis Obispo Events Promotion to be distributed countywide.
Motion carried 6:0
Meeting adjourned at 6:15 pm.
