The tourism director said the correctional center’s MECC will provide personnel to help keep people off fences and provide a visible presence, though not formal security. The director emphasized the volunteer shifts are only a few hours and asked committee members and community members to sign up.

No formal motions or funding decisions were associated with the volunteer recruitment. The committee also noted competing commitments (for example, one volunteer who had to miss the event for a wedding) and encouraged outreach to parks committee, tourism and historical groups to fill remaining spots.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Pacific Tourism Commission Meeting, Tuesday, September 16, 2025 3:30 PM","oneSentenceSummary","The committee announced the upcoming rodeo and asked for volunteers to staff gates and other short shifts; several local aldermen and community groups have signed up and the committee will rely on MECC support for crowd presence.","taxTitle","Pacific, Franklin County, Missouri","taxId",72941,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5980954,"Tourism director says lieutenant governor praised Pacific during visit; Route 66 motor tour and international buses planned",1033,95500,1128883,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5763674-d3c49199bbdbb6c22994c07fd704357b&start=95&end=1128","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5763674-d3c49199bbdbb6c22994c07fd704357b/thumbnail_95500.jpg","/articles/5980954/Pacific/Franklin-County/Missouri/Tourism-director-says-lieutenant-governor-praised-Pacific-during-visit-Route-66-motor-tour-and-international-buses-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5980954-7ce23469d7536f1d78cf69006889b146/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206282&Signature=kAPq4ezxV4KMWn1kd22khTlzq3hTtQPfe96IIjHrVwAvNtQshLBYBsOmFoLn2ylP6K8YXoJfBmmn0tTNCf0C85pSjHE7-uJD9Bwt25yKNIr7oAFEwt0N7dwchbQjAOQRmw6hMDCZJ7ZeHS14aNOGvMeBS8LfRfFykbiX7aOXwk98ZKV0ONQqk4Sx60rL3VgpR35KGjlLaIEhpLYMhhF51GnF89gM27~Qs7fOc-W-OGYD7iTmpvJqZWoFsTCzVp1NhnYq9AtXLoP0qOxw6H2657MG8Y1b4YGP8StTqYC9x2pb8qQBRP1Preqw8PmoqzTag4lofujuyZKMUfoZikZENg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The tourism director reported that the lieutenant governor visited Pacific this month and praised the community’s Route 66 assets. The director said the lieutenant governor “said, ‘I think this is the best stop along 66 I’ve ever seen,’” and that the lieutenant governor expressed interest in exploring a state-supported centennial activity in Pacific next year.

The director said the lieutenant governor’s visit included stops at local manufacturers and tourism sites — Husky, Walker Products, Bayes Tires, Little Ireland, Off the Rails and Red Cedar — and that the official spent several hours in the community. The director described the visit as “a big win for us.”

The tourism director also outlined upcoming events: a Route 66 motor tour will stop at Campbell’s Museum in Pacific for a lunchtime stop; the Gateway Chapter of the Hudson Essex Terraplane Club will visit with antique cars at 8 a.m. on the 20th; and the director said the state plans to bring two international tour buses through Pacific on Dec. 6, with lunches and staggered itineraries that will include Red Cedar and Union Station.

No formal actions were taken on these items; the report was informational. The director said the month had been busy, with staff training and outreach to groups such as Parents as Teachers and senior-center activities. Committee members did not vote on any of the reported events during this meeting.","The tourism director reported a visit by the lieutenant governor and several upcoming Route 66 events, including a motor tour stop, a rodeo-related car club visit and two international buses scheduled for December; the director quoted the lieutenant governor praising Pacific as a top Route 66 stop.",{"_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},5980959,"Alderman reviews $6,000 international marketing pitch for Route 66 centennial",650,30164,681135,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5763674-d3c49199bbdbb6c22994c07fd704357b&start=30&end=681","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5763674-d3c49199bbdbb6c22994c07fd704357b/thumbnail_30164.jpg","/articles/5980959/Pacific/Franklin-County/Missouri/Alderman-reviews-6000-international-marketing-pitch-for-Route-66-centennial","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5980959-8fb6a7f572e0ca94008263cf3f730ef6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206282&Signature=cXA5eJLDN7bDYW4P3zXB7OpOeiG9OD~uHZgiyAiI6-DZXDNyKfGbuJ5GQ0W0HvXkhvRRBAJYL~lHKMHS8tjUjATvbw4yKHGMQetJBihWLJsq1yF3qLCT3KCYe~sjkLSH7XmDrGjqufBiaHt2D8BZTpNdm7t--zvIP-f4HxiEAlBlcnXDtU0Irz5SSdNoyOriCMxSw2nHiEB53hwajYYC82tHaCbCvhJBb1x16JNM~peUWQyq6eQGFZ-t9UoErz4MXsT7P-D5uhx-jnw83qEXb3-0pfrJU3lHmS60to9yzv~~UoiUs-ZS3rJxDb8WRKjeuRaSGNZGBHrYx03te9AfLw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Alderman Kelly presented a proposal from Herrmann Global Marketing for a six-month international marketing campaign to promote Pacific ahead of the Route 66 centennial. The proposal would target the United States and the United Kingdom for about $6,000 and would add additional countries for roughly $2,000 apiece, according to materials Kelly shared with the committee.

The committee was told the vendor works with state tourism offices and platforms that include a “destination story” and performance metrics. Kelly said, “It is a $6,000 6 month campaign,” and that the package includes a 750-word destination story and key performance indicators the vendor would report back. Kelly also said the vendor was recommended by Explore Saint Louis and that “Missouri tourism is actually up 13% versus like last year.”

Committee members asked how effectiveness would be measured and whether the town should focus on domestic or international outreach. One member said the firm’s web and social placements would likely drive clicks to a branded landing page; Kelly noted the vendor can provide web analytics and other KPIs, but the committee would need a local landing page and tracking setup to link ads to visits. There was no formal vote or commitment; members asked Kelly to solicit proposals from additional vendors so the committee can compare approaches and measurement plans before deciding.

Kelly said the campaign need not start in October and that payment could be split across fiscal years if the committee chose to do that; she suggested making a decision by December to tie in centennial promotion. She also noted the town is already included on several Route 66 guide apps and passports, and that passport stamping helps draw international travelers.

Next steps identified in discussion: Kelly will contact additional vendors, gather more detail on placements and KPIs, and present comparisons at the next committee meeting. No formal action or contract authorization was taken at this meeting.","Alderman Kelly presented a six-month international marketing proposal from Herrmann Global Marketing that would target the U.S. and the U.K. for roughly $6,000, with options to add additional countries for about $2,000 each; committee members asked for more data and recommended comparing vendors before the next meeting.","actionData","errors"]
