Snellville council approves Experience Snellville contract, updates brand guide and names youth liaison
Summary
The Snellville mayor and council unanimously renewed the annual tourism contract with Experience Snellville (with an amendment for event public safety), approved an updated city brand guide, and confirmed Councilmember Rochelle Brown as the council liaison to the Snellville Youth Council (5–0, 1 abstention on the liaison vote).
The Snellville mayor and council on Feb. 9 approved three routine items on the consent and new business calendar: the city’s annual tourism and trade contract with Experience Snellville, an updated city brand guide, and the confirmation of Councilmember Rochelle Brown as the council liaison to the Snellville Youth Council.
Mayor Barbara Bender said the tourism contract is an annual agreement that directs hotel–motel tax revenue to Experience Snellville to support events that promote the city. During the motion, a councilmember proposed "an amendment to section 3 changing the $16 amount to 18,000, to establish public safety for our events." The council adopted the motion and amendment by voice vote, recorded as 6 in favor, none opposed.
City staff presented an updated brand guide that clarifies use of the city seal, the acorn logo, approved fonts and secondary fonts, and the recommended application across city documents and the website. The council unanimously approved the brand guide.
Mayor Bender nominated Councilmember Rochelle Brown as the council’s liaison to the Snellville Youth Council. The council confirmed the appointment with a vote recorded in the meeting as 5 in favor, none opposed, and 1 abstention.
The council recorded approval of the Jan. 12 regular meeting minutes and the Jan. 22 special called work meeting minutes earlier in the agenda (vote: 6–0). The meeting adjourned following council reports and public comment.
