SUBJECT: REQUESTED EXPANSION OF CONCORD CONVENTION AND
VISITORS BUREAU CONTRACT
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Refer to the Finance Committee the requested contract increase of $22,911 with
Concord Convention and Visitors Bureau and direct County Administrator to study
and report findings to Finance Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The existing contract of $40,200 is paid for with undesignated General Fund revenues.
The amended contract would increase the payment amount by $22,911. The,contract
may be partially offset by an increase in Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues.
BACKGROUND:
The Concord Convention and Visitors Bureau markets Concord and to a lesser extent
the surrounding unincorporated areas as sites for conventions and tourism. The goal
of the marketing is to fill hotel rooms and thereby stimulate the local economy. If the
Bureau is successful in filling hotel rooms, the County benefits from an increase in sales
revenue and TOT revenue from the Sheraton Inn.

the Bureau. On April 21, 1994, the Bureau's Executive Director sent a letter requesting
enhanced funding for a full year totalling $63,111.
Approval of this item will sendthe proposed increased contract to the County
Administrator for review and a report to the Board's Finance Committee. This item
should be acted on prior to Budget Committee hearings on July 14.
