BUSINESS ITEMS
1. 2014-15 EVENT PROMOTION APPLICANT PRESENTATIONS
The committee discussed the funding requests presented by the following events during
the January 28, 2015 meeting.
• All Out Events: Dawn to Dusk request for $4800
Committee Recommendation: TBID: $0 / PCC: $0
The committee felt like it was a sellout event and was already self-sustaining and
did not require the funding support to be successful. The event was also limited
in the number of attendees and the committee did not see the potential for the
event to grow in size or ROI.
• SLO Wine: Roll Out The Barrels request for $18,000
Committee Recommendation: TBID: $9,000 / PCC: $9,000
Commissioner Rizzo abstained from discussion on the event recommendation.
• Hospice SLO: Eroica request for $15,500
Committee Recommendation: TBID: $15,500 / PCC: $0
Sponsorship funding would be for the Saturday night dinner event in Paso
Robles, representation at the vintage fair throughput the weekend, and the
sponsorship of the rider bag. The committee would like to explore partnership
with the Visitor Center for the representation of SLO at the vintage fair.
• Festival Mozaic request for $20,000
Committee Recommendation: TBID: $2,500 / PCC: $9,150
The PCC would support the local event in Mission Plaza and the TBID would
support the out of area concerts with minimal dollar support but also offered in-
kind support to coordinate the destination information packets for the use at the
out of area events.
2. 2015-16 APPLICATION TIMELINE
The committee discussed the application timeframe for the 2015-16 funding
consideration and directed staff to draft a timeline for consideration by the committee in
February.
