Travel Board OKs $12,000 annual marketing contract; staff reports on grants and tax trends
Summary
The board approved a $1,000-per-month contract with Kolossal Media for event marketing and social media and heard reports on co-op marketing grants, RTP and OHVR applications, and rising 2025 tax collections.
The Emery County Travel Board approved a one-year extension of a contract with Kolossal Media for event marketing and social media at $1,000 per month ($12,000 annually). The contract, which staff said is funded through the state co-op marketing grant, adds monthly event-team meetings to the vendor’s responsibilities. Committee member Lacy Hardman moved to approve the contract; Travis Bacon seconded the motion and the board recorded the motion as passed.
Kevin Butler, who has worked with Amanda Leonard and Kolossal Media, noted awareness of, and reported no issues with, potential conflict-of-interest concerns related to current commissioner campaigns and the election process. The minutes do not record further discussion or a formal ethics review.
Staff provided additional administrative updates: co-op marketing grants were closed out in February and will require preapproval going forward; AnnDee Mead submitted an OHVR application for a signage crew and is working on an RTP application; the office will soon open a small startup/match grant. Financial reporting showed 2025 tax collections up from prior years, and staff discussed the recently failed TRCCA bill that may resurface in future sessions.
Next steps: staff will finalize the Kolossal Media contract in coordination with state grant requirements and continue work on OHVR and RTP grant applications.
