VISITORS AND CONVENTION Ted Bell, President, Chula Vista Visitors and Convention
BUREAU Bureau, summarized his budget request of $75,186. He
explained that $15,396 of this request is for the con-
struction of an Information Patio at the Center located
at I-S and "E" Street. They have been informed by Caltrans
that if this center is not upgraded, they will lose their
freeway ~igns along I-S. The amount of $10,000 is being
requested to invest with the San Diego County Convention
and Visitors Bureau for national advertising and promotion
and $2,000 with the Southern California Visitors Council
for the same purpose.
In answer to Council's queries, Mr. Bell said the Bureau
now has 74 paid memberships - two-thirds of which are
tourist-oriented businesses.
Council discussion Discussion followed regarding the philosophy of the Council in funding the Bureau's activities.
Motion to fund the Bureau It was moved by Councilman Cox and seconded by Councilman
from Motel/Lodging Tax Hobel that the Visitors and Convention Bureau be funded
from a portion of the transient lodging tax.
Discussion of motion Councilman Cox said he would propose the following conditions
if his motion carried:
1. Encourage the Visitors and Convention Bureau to become
affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce.
2. Visitors and Convention Bureau to have a joint policy
board to be made up of the City Manager, one of the City
Councilmen, a couple members of the Visitors and Convention
Bureau, and perhaps someone from the Chamber of Commerce
to allow for continuity and to approve expenditures that
would be eventually set up by the Council-approved budget.
3. Payments to the Visitors and Convention Bureau be made
on a quarterly basis basically for services that are
rendered.
4. Based on adequate funding, the Visitors and Convention
Bureau should provide a brochure of all businesses in the
CitF -- so that it would not be charged with catering only
to those businesses that are members of the organization.
Adjourned Regular Meeting -2- June 1, 1977
5. Provide information to tourists. There is the po-
tential of having them handle all sorts of calls that are
coming in new to the Chamber and City and various other
governmental entities requesting information about Chula
Vista.
6. Disseminate literature about Chula Vista.
7. Maintain some sort of monthly or bi-weekly calendar
of events that are going on in the City -- things that
are going on in the high schools~ colleges, and parks and
recreation programs. These can be sent out to the hotels,
motels, library, City offices and other places.
8. The transient tax is now bringing in $144,000 a year
and will increase in future years. There is a great po-
tential for Chula Vista to increase the funding and the
services derived from the Visitors and Convention Bureau.
The members of the Council discussed the motion with Mayor
Hyde indicating that the motion was open-ended and he would
not favor fixing a certain percentage of the transient tax
for this organization.
Motion failed The motion failed by the following vote, to-wit:
AYES: Councilmen Cox, Hobel
Noeg: Councilmen Hyde, Scott, Egdahl
Absent: None
Discussion Council discussion ensued regarding the philosophy of fund-
ing the Bureau; the budget approved for this organization
in the past fiscal year; and the merits of the Committee
as proposed by Councilman Cox.
Motion to grant $2S,000 It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded by Mayor Hyde
and form committee that the make-up of the Committee be worked out - (the
tourist committee consisting of the Chamber, staff, etc.)
that reports directly to the City, and to grant the Tourist
Visitors and Convention Bureau $2S,000 to be allocated by
way of this committee. Details will be firmed up at a
later time.
Discussion of motion The motion was discussed by each member of the Council with
his own interpretations of the motion.
Councilman Scott clarified the motion indicating that the
Mayor can appoint the members of the committee; the com-
mittee would make up the budget - figure out how the money
would be spent - and it would be dispersed by the committee;
Chairman would report to the Council; the details or
machinery of the committee can be left to the Council at
a later date; $25,000 would be for the Tourist Visitors
and Convention Bureau and not give the money to the Com-
mittee per se.
Mr. Bell stated that the Visitors and Convention Bureau
budget is segregated by three projects: (1) operating
the centers; (2) national promotions; (3) capital outlay.
If the $25,000 is intended to be divided up among the
three projects, the Bureau would be in trouble and there
would be no way they could operate for one year.
Adjourned Regular Meeting -3- June 1, 1977
Councilman Scott explained that the money ($25,000) would
be allocated by way of the committee and the top position
and rules for the committee will be determined by the
Council at a later date.
Councilman Hobel said he agreed to the $25,000 for visitor
and tourist promotion in the City. Once it gets into the
committee, the Visitors and Convention Bureau may completely
change their structure, and to earmark the money to the
Bureau is what is wrong with the motion.
Substitute Motion It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded by Council-
man Scott that a committee be established for tourist,
visitor and convention promotion -- that that committee,
this year, carry out their work through the existing
Bureau, and that funds be provided for the purpose of
visitor and convention promotion to the level of $25,000.
Clarification of motion Councilman Egdahl clarified the motion stating that
(1) the City intends to provide funds now and in the
future; (2) the funds are not being provided this year
directly to the Visitors and Convention Bureau -- the
committee will have to work with them; (3) the committee
or someone else may come up with visitor promotions this
year (such as the Redevelopment Agency). Councilman
Egdahl suggested the make-up of the committee be derived
at by the Mayor and the Chairman of the existing Visitors
and Convention Bureau and Councilman Cox.
Motion carried The motion carried unanimously.
Spanish-type signs Councilman Hobel discussed the Spanish-type City signs
proposed by the Chamber of Commerce a few years ago to
be put along 1-5. He asked that the staff check back
into this along with the present cost.
Mr. Bell reiterated that the $25,000 is the operating
budget and they cannot look to anything else. The Bureau
cannot go beyond just keeping the centers open.
Councilman Cox indicated that the Council has not precluded
the possibility of the Visitors and Convention Bureau
coming back to the Council and asking for revenue sharing
funds.
Motion for committee It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded by Mayor
charge Hyde that the Council specifically asks the committee to
be established to recommend to the City Council at its
earliest convenience other ways that (the Council) can
promote the visitor and convention industry which means
with signs, brochures and the other things that are on
the docket. This specifically gives it to the committee
to make recommendations to the Council, and it will be up
to the Council to figure out how the Council is going to
fund them.
Mayor Hyde told Mr. Bell he would be happy to meet with him
as soon as convenient to initiate the make-up of the
committee.

that the types of activities sponsored by the Girls Club

added that he talked to the Boys Club and they are preparing

City and three parts from the County (25% and 75%). Mr.
Hughes added that they have been negotiating with the
County for their share of the budget and have agreed upon
a reduced level for the coming twelve months; therefore,
the request is no longer $18,000, but $15,800.
Discussion Council discussion followed regarding the original concept
of OUR HOUSE, funding by the City and County, changes in
the programs in the last six years, available grants and

vide the facility.

and unanimously carried that those portions of the budget
that are directly related to the operation of the facility
rather than the program be funded which is rent, utilities,
