Summary

At the Sept. 2 committee meeting Auburn council members directed tourism staff to brief the full council on recent activities and plans after a request from Councilman Kelly Griswold; Mayor Ron Anders described tourism as a growing segment for the city.

During the Committee of the Whole at the Sept. 2 meeting, the Auburn City Council agreed — at the request of Councilman Kelly Griswold — to ask the tourism staff to provide a briefing to the council on their activities and initiatives.

"Tourism is a growing segment in the city of Auburn, and we're very excited and appreciative of their hard work," Mayor Ron Anders said while reading the mayor's minutes. The mayor said the briefing will update the council on how the tourism office is operating and highlight recent accomplishments and plans that affect the community.

The council's action was recorded as a determination to have tourism staff present a briefing; the minutes did not include a mover/second or a recorded vote tally. The mayor noted the briefing is intended to give the full council a clearer picture of tourism operations and "some of the exciting news they have for Auburn's future."

The request directs city tourism staff to prepare a presentation for a future council meeting or committee session; scheduling and specific materials to be provided were not detailed in the minutes as read aloud.
