Committee reviewed Rural Tourism and Marketing Program (RTMP) fund with $21,319 reported in FY2024–25 RTMP grant revenue and a conservative $15K budgeted for next year; staff recommended increasing Web Design & Hosting funding and allocating $12K for sponsorships and events.

The Committee reviewed the Rural Tourism and Marketing Program (RTMP) Fund. Budget Officer Nicole Tritten said the RTMP grant revenue for FY2024–25 totaled $21,319; she budgeted conservatively for next year at $15,000 because county disbursements have varied.

Nicole explained the $12,000 line for sponsorships and special events would be awarded to groups that bring visitors and overnight stays; recent grantees included the Oakridge Disc Golf tournament, Ridgeline Magazine and the Oakridge Keg & Cask Festival. She also described technical issues with the city website and recommended doubling Web Design & Hosting funding while lowering the Reserved for Future Expenditure amount; the Committee agreed to the change.

The RTMP discussion also included a planned replacement of a damaged "Westfir Then, Westfir Now" photo display and increased funding for signs and billboards.
