Cherie Nielsen, the authority’s tourism manager, presented the proposed FY2026–2027 budget and described adjustments made to align the document with county standards. She outlined proposed increases in contracted services and marketing, the potential establishment of a mini‑grant program, and the possibility of hiring a part‑time administrative/program support position to help implement programming.
Discussion included a possible operational vehicle purchase; the board considered maintenance, mileage and insurance implications but took no formal action. Revenue projections and carry‑forward funds were reported as strong, driven by occupancy tax performance, according to the presentation. The board will return the proposed budget for further consideration at a future meeting and a public hearing will be required prior to adoption.
No vote was taken on the proposed budget during the Feb. 5 meeting.
