Alderman Kelly and Tourism Director O'Malley summarized outreach and timing. Kelly said she had contacted other cities that run similar events but had not yet received responses and noted organizers want to target 2026 dates because many organizations are booked in 2025. O'Malley said the committee has an “official date” for the barbecue and bluegrass event described in the meeting as “June 28 through 20 second,” and said the sponsorship committee will decide within a month whether to fund the event.

Committee members debated scheduling to avoid duplication with neighboring towns. Discussion covered whether to place the Route 66 interactive sign at Jensen Point (the parks board raised concerns about limited evening access, ADA access, lighting and security camera coverage). O'Malley asked whether the committee wanted the original location (between Red Cedar and the parks building) and members recommended retaining the originally planned placement to avoid additional permitting and budget work.

The committee discussed event details and logistics: the barbecue and bluegrass plan described a three-day schedule with a sanctioned barbecue competition (time windows discussed included a Saturday competition with awards around mid-afternoon and a Sunday local barbecue competition), food trucks and bands, and a family movie night. O'Malley said the festival would include a \"people's choice\" award if the health department and sanctioning group approve; the committee discussed budgets and said sponsorship, if approved, would cover bands, prizes and rentals. O'Malley said a three-year commitment is expected for businesses that display Quilt Trail squares and that a quilt-square class costs $300 per participant; the town will host quilting classes and provide paint day sessions for participants.

Other items: the committee sold 15 Hometown Heroes banners so far and can sell up to 50; banners cost $65 and the town will accept donations to sponsor banners for fallen soldiers without nearby family. The committee scheduled two informational Route 66 public meetings for February 26 (one at 10 a.m. and one at 6 p.m.) to explain projects and solicit business/resident participation; mural artist Ray Harvey was invited to present at the evening session.

No formal motions or votes were recorded to finalize dates, sign placement or budgets at this meeting; members asked staff to coordinate with the parks department, sponsorship committee and health department and to return with clarified budgets and permit guidance for future meetings.","Committee discussed plans for Route 66 Railroad Days, a June Route 66 Barbecue & Bluegrass festival, placement of an interactive Route 66 sign, the Hometown Heroes banners and a Route 66 Quilt Trail; no formal votes were held but several dates, costs, and next steps were identified.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6097497,"Tourism director proposes Placer AI subscription, budgets $8,000 share",211,74000,285000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2828074-bc4b3b5e070436ed451a7f8fbaf26bc9&start=74&end=285","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2828074-bc4b3b5e070436ed451a7f8fbaf26bc9/thumbnail_74000.jpg","/articles/6097497/Pacific/Franklin-County/Missouri/Tourism-director-proposes-Placer-AI-subscription-budgets-8000-share","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6097497-f6dd560a1e57ae7d7e250c0a5f28aed6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200647&Signature=Yhqv-OvjdAFWORzFfIg9PemVrmXuY-zp~gjuPzi6oAHgEQeCl26RMRC9-JOjfu6RlHGpId9x2~l0jfuKmbhJ~u3MLQ-EfhHQoJtNGDeyQnnJMRcr4OzZIJ0df6oCt7J9YPcPgwsSjlzNFZSQHAMGjUswjXPogY3xJqwOfgKicd1EGyaDF1f~nnS8MQ9tO1ccEpcg90kxCoqdud-RcCBoPwDG1of2BX8mKhIdRGQwH~O8EjhYC32hbs33h6w4P7ncduhL8tzC0owr22fAAa5WNj9UfFXZTGGNb4Ceut56gEZKuxmb5g9yTrzSs~Idyl~JNp1Ll0cPlQY3IfilWuPYpA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tourism Director O'Malley told the Pacific Tourism Committee she wants the committee to evaluate Placer AI, a visitor-tracking and foot-traffic research platform, and asked members to attend a vendor demonstration before the 2026 budget cycle.

O'Malley said Placer AI “is really good for research” and described it as “a tracking device” that can show where people move through downtown and where they go afterwards. She said the vendor can deliver data with a roughly two-day turnaround and demonstrated an example showing about 6,000 people at a recent car show and distinct peaks around awards and fireworks times.

The proposal she outlined would split a subscription cost with the building department; O'Malley said the city’s share would be $8,000 for the proposed year. Committee members asked technical and privacy questions: one member asked whether the product determines location via phones or cell towers; O'Malley said that would be a good question for the vendor on the Zoom call. She also noted Placer AI does not capture people without cell phones and that location estimates can be “skewed” because the product counts devices near storefronts rather than exact indoor capacities.

Committee discussion included clarification requests about current services and cost. During the conversation there were inconsistent references: one remark suggested the committee currently pays $8,000 for the existing service, while O'Malley later said “we currently don't pay anything, so then we would pay $8,000 to get this information.” The committee agreed members should attend a 30-minute vendor demonstration; O'Malley offered to email vendor contact information and to schedule one or two sessions so members who avoid forming a quorum could attend.

No formal motion or vote was recorded on purchasing Placer AI. O'Malley said she plans to bring the subscription request to the FY2026 budget process for formal consideration if the committee wishes to proceed following the demonstration.

The committee did not adopt a procurement decision during this meeting; members requested the vendor demonstration and additional technical answers before any budget request is finalized.","Tourism Director O'Malley recommended exploring a Placer AI visitor-tracking subscription and asked the committee to join a vendor Zoom demo; she said a one-year subscription could cost the city about $8,000 if shared with the building department.","actionData","errors"]
