Summary
Council authorized the city administrator to execute a 2026 contract with the local Chamber of Commerce for tourism and branding services (total $12,000 for personnel, marketing, and promotion), motion passed by council.
Council voted to direct the city administrator to sign a contract with the Chamber of Commerce for tourism and economic‑identity services. Staff summarized the proposed 2026 agreement that allocates $12,000 to the chamber: roughly $4,000 for personnel services tied to the visitor center/coordination, $4,000 for branding work, and $4,000 for marketing and promotional activities.
Council’s motion to authorize the city administrator to sign the Chamber contract was seconded and approved by roll call. Staff said the arrangement continues a relationship in place since 2009 and that the seasonal coordinator role averages 10–15 hours per week and helps with customer service, event planning, and promotion.
Council did not alter the proposed dollar amounts at the meeting; the motion passed and staff will finalize the contract execution.
