EDA weighs photo‑contest framework and replacement of city promotional tumblers
Summary
EDA members reviewed a draft photo contest to gather images for a planned website update and discussed replacing promotional tumblers; staff will revise the contest rules and investigate vendor pricing and legal authority for fundraising sales.
City Administrator Jennifer Nash told the EDA on March 20 that the city has a shortage of high‑quality photographs for an upcoming website update and distributed a first draft framework for a photo contest to solicit images.
Members suggested changing the contest title and the scoring process. The board discussed two options for selecting winners: the EDA could pick a top three and use Facebook for final public voting, or each board and commission could submit its top three for a later vote. The EDA also discussed the possibility of running the contest seasonally to collect a wider variety of images. Nash said contest advertising should specify image size and quality requirements and require location details to verify the photograph was taken inside city limits; she will revise the framework and return it at a future meeting.
On promotional items, Nash said previously purchased city‑logo tumblers have been exhausted. Chair Sam Rudie asked whether selling branded items could be permitted as a fundraiser; Nash said she will check the city’s legal authority and logistics before pursuing that option. Jessica Johnson said she supports repurchasing tumblers, will investigate potential discounts by buying directly through Yeti, and will bring vendor information to the next EDA meeting.
No motions were made on the photo contest or promotional items; staff will return with a revised contest framework and vendor pricing options.
