DISCUSSION
With the 2015-17 Financial Plan, the City Council approved the budget and defined the work
program for the Community Promotions program and the Tourism Business Improvement
District (TBID). 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 the TBID Board recommends the use of the TBID assessment. Both Boards
developed a budget and work program for the 2015-17 Financial Plan, and thus established
recommendations for use of funding in 2016-17 with respective contract considerations.
Tourism Business Improvement District
The TBID began their program development and budget allocation process in February, when
the TBID’s Marketing and Management committees began discussing the goals, priorities and
direction for the 2016-17 TBID programs. During this process, the TBID Board communicated
the importance of continuing to align the budget direction, program priorities and funding
commitments with the fulfillment of the TBID’s five-year strategic clarity plan initiatives. The
TBID strategic clarity plan is available for review as a Council Reading File.
The TBID strategic initiatives are to:
1. Deliver smart growth.
2. Develop the SLO brand.
3. Build meaningful partnerships.
4. Contribute to an unforgettable SLO experience.
5. Ensure organizational excellence.
A top priority in 2016-17 was to fund the establishment and on-going expenses for a tourism
support staff position. The Board recognized that this need was imperative to the program. The
Tourism Business Improvement Board thus recommended the creation of a Tourism Coordinator
position to support the day-to-day operation for advancement of the City’s tourism program and
allowing the Tourism Manager to devote a greater effort in strategic planning for current and
future tourism programs. This program and financial commitment was approved by City Council
on June 14, 2016 as part of the budget supplement process. (Attachment A - Council Action
Update June 14, 2016)
Strategic Partnerships
Strategic partnership proposals were received from the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce
and SLO Wine Country Association. The full proposals can be reviewed in the Council Reading
File.
In the budget deliberation the TBID Board, with the recommendation from the Management
Committee, considered all activity and program commitments including: strategic par tnerships
and contracts, marketing and advertising, events promotions, tradeshow, tourism organization
and research, and support. Based on the content of the annual proposals and the recommendation
from the Management Committee, the TBID Board recommends that Council authorize the City
Manager to enter into separate contracts with the following organizations for the specified
programs (Attachment B - TBID Minutes, May 11, 2016):
6
Packet Pg. 108
1. SLO Chamber of Commerce: The committee recommended full funding of proposal
for Guest Services including: the continuation of the phone & availability service at
$34,000, the two-month trial period for the Live Chat system in the amount of $4,000,
and the Promotional Services Support in the amount of $8,000. In addition, the
committee recommended the continuation of the TBID’s partnership with PCC for the
public relations services. The investment into this program directly supports the TBID’s
strategic initiative to develop the SLO brand and is an efficient approach to partner wit h
the PCC which maximizes the contract scope and reduces duplication of efforts. The
committee recommended that the TBID fund up to 60% of the Public Relations service
agreement at $51,000 and fully cover the media monitoring service.
2. SLO Wine Country Association: The committee recommended funding of the
partnership proposal with SLO Wine at the amount of $18,000. The elements of
partnership to be funded would be: Membership & Marketing Benefits at $10,000;
PR/Media Hosting as presented but managed by staff and funded at $1,000; and targeted
Trade and Media Marketing at $7,000. For the Trade and Media Marketing piece, the
TBID would have the ability to weigh in and approve through the marketing committee
the selection of the roadshow and regional show locations or cooperative advertising
investments.
The partnership with Cal Poly Athletics will also continue in the final year of the three year
agreement in 2016-17.
Marketing Services Contract
Fiscal year 2016-17 will allow for the first two-year extension agreement with BCA and
Matchfire for marketing services. The marketing initiatives were outlined within the marketing
plan presented at the June 8, 2016 meeting. The 2016-17 TBID Marketing Plan is available for
review as a Council Reading File.
Based on the recommendation from the Management Committee, the TBID Board recommends
that the Council authorize the first two-year extension of the contract with BCA and Matchfire
for marketing services in the amount of $814,500. (Attachment C - TBID Minutes, June 8, 2016)
General Event Promotions
In their programmatic approach and budget deliberation, both the TBID and the PCC invest in
destination events in San Luis Obispo. In order to coordinate the effort, both advisory bodies
elected three members to serve on a joint Events Promotion Subcommittee that meets
semiannually to entertain funding requests from event organizations. To be considered for joint
funding through the TBID and PCC, the event must meet both of the purposes: of tourism
promotion advantage to the City of San Luis Obispo and of cultural, social, and/or recreational
benefit to the residents of the City of San Luis Obispo. In 2016-17, the TBID has allocated
$108,532 to sponsorship funding for events that meet the criteria of tourism promotion advantage
to the City of San Luis Obispo resulting in overnight stays at TBID lodging businesses.
The remaining program funds are allocated to program expenses including: expanded
6
Packet Pg. 109
involvement in various tradeshows and sales efforts in 2016-17, attendance at industry
conferences, and additional partnerships, marketing and promotional initiatives. The costs for
certain services and program funding for the 2016-17 fiscal year were covered through the
remaining 2015-16 program budget carryover including: final payment for the RaceSLO arch,
the media monitoring service fee, SLO Wine annual partnership expenses, and the Strategic Plan
mid-plan workshop. (Attachment C - TBID Minutes, June 8, 2016; Attachment D – Line Item
Budget Allocations).
Any un-appropriated fund balance from 2015-16 will be used for marketing programs in 2016-
17.
Promotional Coordinating Committee
The purpose of the PCC is to enhance the quality of life for residents of San Luis Obispo and to
enhance the quality of experience for visitors to San Luis Obispo. This mission was the guiding
force behind the budget consideration for the PCC. During the May 11, 2016 meeting, the PCC
finalized the 2016-17 budget allocations and continued programmatic approach for the SLO
Happenings program, Visitor Services, event promotions, and GIA funding. (Attachment D –
Line Item Budget Allocations; Attachment E – PCC Minutes May 11, 2016)
SLO Happenings Program
In 2015-16 the PCC made a focused effort to redefine the purpose of the SLO Happening mobile
app to benefit the needs of the local residents by offering a consolidated local events calendar
application. The promotion of the app, the feature enhancements, and the dedication to expand
the content included within the app were done in an effort to help the community engage in the
cultural and recreational offering with the City.
Based on the success of the division of work for the SLO Happening program in 2015-16
between the functions of technology management and program promotions, the PCC
recommends for 2016-17, the technology service agreement in the amount of $15,900 with GFL
Technologies for the enhancement, hosting and maintenance of the SLO Happenings app and
event database. In addition, the PCC has allocated $30,000 for the promotional plan and services
to FreshBuzz Media and recommends the approval of the first of three one-year term extensions
noted within their agreement for the contract services. The full proposals can be reviewed in the
Council Reading File.
Chamber of Commerce Contract Services
During the April 13, 2016 meeting, the PCC received a presentation from the Chamber of
Commerce for their proposed on-going contract services which include: shared expanded public
relations services in partnership with the TBID, marketing and public relations support of the
GIA recipients, and the production of the city tear-off-maps. As noted above, the Chamber
requested an increase in contract funding for only the PR contract. Additionally, the Chamber
requested a change to the operations of the Visitor Center impacting the hour of operation not the
contract funding amount. The full proposals can be reviewed in the Council Reading File.
During budget deliberations at the May 8, 2016 meeting, the PCC determined that it was of high
priority to maintain contract services with the Chamber of Commerce and decided to fully fund
6
Packet Pg. 110
and authorize all of the proposals for the 2016-17 year including the remaining 40% of funding
or $34,000 for the expanded public relations services with the TBID.
Grants-In-Aid (GIA)
Each year, the PCC offers the annual GIA process to local non-profit organizations for the
promotion of cultural, social and recreational events held in the City of San Luis Obispo that will
benefit residents and visitors. Notices are placed on the City website and in the Tribune to
advertise the availability of the grant funding application for local non-profit organizations. This
year, the grant cycle opened on February 1, 2016 and applications were due on March 11, 2016.
On February 10, 2016 the PCC’s GIA subcommittee held a mandatory meeting with all
interested organizations to introduce the grant funding criteria used during the evaluation process
and answered questions from the applicants. The City received 26 applications with a funding
request totaling $194,480. In fiscal year 2016-17, the PCC increased their available budget for
GIA awards to $100,000. GIA applications can be reviewed in the Council Reading File.
The PCC’s GIA subcommittee met to review the applications, compare the requests to th e grant
criteria, and allocate funding accordingly. On May 18, 2016, the PCC held a public hearing with
all applicants to allow for presentation and discussion before the recommendation was forwarded
to the City Council for consideration and approval. There were over 15 application
representatives present at the meeting. The committee received public comment from the grant
applicants and ultimately approved the recommendation for the 2016-17 GIA funding allocations
(Attachment F – PCC Minutes May 18, 2016; Attachment G - GIA Funding Recommendations).
FISCAL IMPACT
The total amount currently budgeted in the 2015-17 Financial Plan for the TBID Fund for 2015-
16 is $1,434,000. In addition, the TBID fund will carry over a fund reserve of $100,000. Use of
this amount would be on a contingency basis in the unlikely event that forecast revenues are not
realized. Due to the increase in transient occupancy tax, the TBID fund is expected to increase
resulting in an un-appropriated fund balance. This amount will not be known until the City’s
audited financials for 2015-16 will be substantially complete.
The total amount currently budgeted in the 2015-17 Financial Plan for the Community
Promotions Program is $403,609 in 2016-17. The PCC recommends the total GIA event funding
of $100,000 based on the application process and evaluation.
There is sufficient funding for the contracts as recommended by the two advisory bodies.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The Council could choose to fund the contracts at different levels or modify the scope of
services. The advisory bodies and staff do not recommend adjustments, as the proposed
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
6
Packet Pg. 111
for all the services outlined. This is not recommended since the recommended contractors
are well positioned to execute the established work scope in a cohesive and economical
manner.
3. The Council could re-allocate funding provided through the GIA process. This is not
recommended as the PCC reviewed the applications thoroughly and applied the funding
according to the set criteria and expected benefit to the City’s residents and visitors.
AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW IN THE CITY CLERK’S OFFICE
A hard copy of the Grants in Aid applications are available for public review in the City Clerk’s
Office.
