Previously, the Visitors Bureau was reim- bursed on a quarterly basis once receipts were approved by the Mayor's Visitor Industry Advisory Committee. However, the newly formed Chamber of Commerce Visitors Bureau Committee was concerned that the reimbursement procedure resulted in delayed payments and therefore they appeared before the Council to request quarterly advance funding. At the end of each quarter, the statements would be reviewed and if any items were disapproved, an adjustment could be made to the following quarter's payment. At the meeting of August 7, 1979, the City Council accepted a report which recommended quarterly advance payments to the Chamber of Commerce with adjustments, if any, to be made to subsequent payments. During the first three quarters of the fiscal year, the Chamber of Commerce requested and received $8,675 per quarter, for a total of $26,025. However, their request for payment for the final quarter was not received until September 15, 1980. Inasmuch as funds for the final quarter were not encumbered, the remainder of the $34,700 ($8,675) reverted to the General Fund. In addition, the tourist consultants (San Diego Con/Vis Bureau) terminated their contract prior to expending the full $25,300 and the balance of the purchase order ($4,097.70) also reverted to the General Fund. Thus, a total of $12,772.70 was returned to the General Fund from the 1979-80 Community Promotions budget. RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt resolution appropriating $5,597.96 to reimburse the Chamber of Commerce Visitors Bureau Committee. DISCUSSION: The attached exhibit delineates the approved monthly expenditures of the Visitors Bureau. Actual expenses incurred during the first three quarters of the fiscal year did not equal amounts advanced by the City. Expenditures for the year total $31.622.96 and. to date, the City has advanced $26,025. Adopting this resolution would fully reimburse the Chamber for actual expenses incurred during the 1979-80 fiscal year. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available in the 1980-81 unappropriated contingency reserve of the General Fund, and $5,597.96 should be transferred to Account #100-0130-5451. 101- \j () Form A-113 (Rev. 11/79) ~ Ctlula Vista, C81ifornia Dated t;...Jo ..go EXHIBITS Agreement____ Resolution_____ Ordinance____ Plat_____ Notification List Other ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT: Attached Submitted on Office of JENNIE M.
