Board approves one-year extension for Colossal Media social account at $12,000
Summary
The Emery County Travel Bureau board unanimously approved a one-year extension of a social-media/marketing contract with Colossal Media (Kevin) for $1,000 per month ($12,000 annually), adding a requirement for attendance at monthly event-team meetings; members said transparency checks addressed a potential appearance-of-conflict.
The Emery County Travel Bureau board voted unanimously to extend its contract with Colossal Media, approving a $1,000-per-month agreement that totals $12,000 for the year.
Staff member (speaker S3) told the board the contract is the same as last year with one amendment: Kevin will attend monthly event-team meetings so the office can provide clearer direction for promotions. S3 said the cost is covered by the office’s marketing budget and state co-op grant funding.
The motion to approve was made by Lacey and seconded on the record; the board conducted a roll-call vote and recorded the motion as passed without opposition. "The contract's for $1,000 a month, so $12,000 for the year," S3 said when summarizing the terms.
A board member (speaker S9) disclosed that they are running for county commissioner and noted the group had discussed any possible conflicts of interest; staff and Amanda said they had reviewed transparency concerns and felt comfortable moving forward. The board’s action did not include any conditions tied to the disclosure.
The vote allows staff to continue Colossal Media’s social-media support for county events and marketing; staff said Kevin will also participate in monthly planning sessions beginning at the next scheduled event-team meeting.
