Board approves staff travel to ICSC Recon 2026 with updated mileage and itinerary requests
Summary
Board approved staff travel to the ICSC Recon retail recruitment conference; members asked staff to correct travel dates, add $144.19 mileage per traveler for airport transit, and finalize hotel and itinerary details before departure.
The board approved a staff and work travel request to attend ICSC Recon 2026, described in the packet as a national retail recruitment conference that gives staff access to developers, brokers and retailers. The presenter said the trip is a targeted effort to generate leads and advance ongoing projects in Rio Grande City.
Members asked staff to correct travel dates on the form (the packet showed differing departure dates), to add mileage of $144.19 per person to cover travel to the departing airport, and to finalize hotel backup information. One board member encouraged staff to bring promotional materials to the conference and suggested compact items with a QR code to direct prospects to the EDC website.
A motion to approve the travel request with the noted revisions was seconded and approved by voice vote.
