Weston tourism committee backs two‑year agreement with WASA CVB, sending recommendation to Village Board
Summary
The committee voted to recommend the Village Board approve a two‑year tourism‑entity agreement with the WASA CVB (ending Dec. 31, 2027), saying a two‑year term would provide planning stability for events and venue use; the recommendation will go to the October board meeting.
The Village of Weston Tourism Committee voted to recommend that the Village Board approve a two‑year tourism‑entity agreement with the WASA CVB, changing the current proposed one‑year term to a two‑year term that would end Dec. 31, 2027.
A CVB representative argued the longer term would "give Weston predictable costs and services without the disruption of annual renegotiation," and said two years allows the CVB and the village to plan strategically for attracting conferences, sporting events and fuller use of the Green Heck Turner community center. The representative said the request was for the same terms as the draft agreement but for a two‑year length.
Committee members discussed alignment of contract cycles with neighboring municipalities. Some members said aligning cycles had advantages; others said individual municipalities could still adopt two‑year agreements while coordinating later. After a motion and second, the committee voted to recommend the two‑year agreement; the matter will be placed on the Village Board agenda for the October meeting for final action.
The committee's recommendation is procedural — the Village Board will take the formal vote on the contract. Committee members were invited to attend the board meeting when the item is considered.
