HOnorable Membersof the City Council:
1~]e undersigned have been privileged to serve for approximately the
last five months as city representatives on a joint committee which
was formed to develop recommendations concerning reorganization of
the tourist cud convention' program. As you know, that program has
been supported since 1968 bY transient occupancy taxes contributed
by the county and many of the cities·
We are pleased to report to you that we have developed a proposal
whi'eh, we believe~ will afford ali. contributing agencies an ap-
pmopriate voice in program policy determination and, in particular,
will give cities a strong position in t}~:at respect.
In brief, the proposal is to establish a new non-profit San Mate0
County Convent:ion and Visitors Bureau corporation: with a 19-man
board of directors appointed as follows: nine members appointed by
cities (one eac. h by the six cities making the largest contribution
of funds, and the other three by the other participating cities);
five members by the county; three members by the San Marco COunty
Restaurent and Hotel O%,mers' Association; and two members by the
San Mateo County Fair and Convention Assoeiationo Initi~f0y, each
of the cities of Bur!ingame: Da!y City: Millbrae, Redwood City, San
Mateo and South San Francisco are to appoint a city council member
as a director~ and another to serve as his alternate. The cities
of Menlo Park, Pacifica and San Carlos al. so would appoint one of
their council members as a director, but the alternates to these
three directors will be council re. embers appointed by the cities of
Belm. ont: Brisbane and Half Moon Bay. The second year: and in
alternate years afterward~ the primary and alternate director ap-
pointments of the last six cities wi].l reverse°
· Program financing for the new bureau would be derived ~rom. an annual
contribution of $100~000 from San Mateo County and a contribution of
twelve percent of gross transient ·occupancy tax receipts of each
participating city· It al. so has been prOvided that~ should the total
of city contributions exceed $100~000 in any-corporate fiscal year~
the county ,,,;ill make an additional contribution equal to that excess.
An example of city contributions is enc].osed -- funding for ].ess than
a full year would be on .a proportionate basis, with credit for any
contributions al.ready made. ' ,

A strong, well-directed effort to attract'conve~ttion and visitor
business to this county undoubtedly will be of mutual and substantial
benefit to our cities and county. The new program organization holds
promise as a means to obtain those benefits, and we sincerely recom-
"mend'to you that it be given full support and a fair trial.
Action bY your council at an early date is urged, to approve of this
new approach to a joint convention and visitor program and of the
financing plan. A sample form of a resolution that you might adopt
for this'purpose is enclosed for your consideration. In antici-
pation of approval by all agencies involved, an organizational meet-
ing for the board of the new corporation has been scheduled tenta-
'tively for October 27, 1971.
Upon your concurrence with the proposed plan, your appointee to the
new board of directors should be named, so that he o~~ she will be
enabled to sign the incorporation papers.
Should you desire further information concerning this matter, we
will be pleased to confer with your council or any of its members.
Very truly yours,
TOURIST AND CONVENTION COMMITTEE
