Middleton Tourism Commission adopts conduct standards, approves concise mission statement
Summary
At its April 15 meeting the Middleton Tourism Commission adopted Destination WisconsinStandards of Conduct to support an accreditation application and approved a shortened mission statement; commissioners also approved two sets of minutes and heard scheduling and budget planning items.
The Middleton Tourism Commission on April 15 voted to adopt Destination WisconsinStandards of Conduct as part of an accreditation application and approved a shortened mission statement for the commission.
The commission opened the meeting by approving minutes from the Feb. 18 and March 18 meetings. Speaker 2 moved to approve the Feb. 18 minutes and Speaker 3 seconded; a voice vote carried. Later, Speaker 3 said "Miller makes the motion" to approve the March 18 minutes; Speaker 1 confirmed the second and the minutes were approved.
Speaker 4, in the director's report, told commissioners the Standards of Conduct adoption is required for accreditation by Destination Wisconsin and asked the commission to vote on the paperwork. "It is one of the requirements for Destination Wisconsin that we adopt our standards of conduct," Speaker 4 said. Speaker 3 moved to adopt the standards and Speaker 2 seconded; Speaker 1 called the vote and the measure passed by voice vote.
Commissioners then considered a proposed mission statement for use on the city—s website. Speaker 4 presented two draft options and recommended a concise one-liner. Commissioners debated trimming language to reflect work beyond marketing; Speaker 2 suggested omitting "marketing efforts" so the statement would end with support for the hospitality industry and local economy. Speaker 3 moved to approve the mission statement as agreed; Speaker 2 seconded and the motion passed.
Speaker 4 said the first-quarter STAR report had not yet arrived and that the commission will present a full finance and STAR report at the May meeting. The director also said she will review a proposed two-year Destination Madison agreement with the city administrator and circulate suggested edits to commissioners ahead of the May meeting so the commission could vote in May rather than defer to June. Speaker 4 noted July will include the first round of the budget, with official approval targeted for August.
The meeting closed after a motion to adjourn from Speaker 2, seconded by Speaker 3, and a voice vote in favor. The commission signaled no further substantive business at the April session.
