Finance committee continues review of Rossford Convention & Visitors Bureau contract; requests legal review and limits
Summary
The Rossford finance and insurance committee met twice with the Rossford Convention & Visitors Bureau and recommended further legal review of proposed contract language and either a cost cap or timeline cap before the city would assume bureau commitments.
The Rossford finance and insurance committee reported continuing contract discussions with the Rossford Convention & Visitors Bureau (RCVB) and recommended further review by city legal counsel before the city assumes any bureau commitments.
Committee notes in the March 10 meeting record say the committee met with RCVB Executive Director Beth Jensen and Tony Knight to discuss a contract that would obligate the city to assume commitments if the bureau were to fold. The committee requested that city legal counsel continue reviewing contract language and asked that the agreement include either a cost cap, a timeline cap, or both before the city would enter into the agreement.
At a second committee meeting on Feb. 24, the transcript records that the RCVB and city legal counsel met and the RCVB felt the language was “close to where needed.” The committee requested continued review prior to finalizing any agreement. The RCVB asked to move the annual report due date to March 1; the committee agreed that change was acceptable.
The committee also considered a resident request relating to back taxes and penalties. According to the committee summary, the resident must first catch up on past-due taxes; once that occurs the committee will again review penalties and interest. Committee discussion included a brief review of RETA and inquiries about the agency’s performance metrics for collection of the city’s income tax.
No final contract award or city assumption of obligations is recorded in the March 10 public meeting transcript; the record shows the committee requested additional legal review and placed conditions (cost/timeline cap) before a final agreement would be executed.
