Council member moves to advance contract talks with tourism marketing group for Aug. 17 vote
Summary
A councilmember moved to accept staff recommendation to designate Destination Must Visit Tourism Alliance Inc. as College Park's DMO and directed staff to finalize contract negotiations so the council may vote on the contract at its Aug. 17 meeting.
A councilmember made a substitute motion to accept staff's recommendation to appoint Destination Must Visit Tourism Alliance Inc. as the city's designated destination marketing organization (DMO) and directed city staff to finalize negotiations for presentation to council on Aug. 17, 2026.
"I move that the council accept the recommendation of the city manager and appoint Destination Must Visit Tourism Alliance Incorporated as the city's DMO, and that the council direct and authorize the city manager and city attorney to finalize the contract negotiations with this entity so that the council can take action on the contract at the 08/17/2026 meeting," the mover said during the meeting.
Staff indicated the motion is a substitute that would keep the matter moving toward contract finalization and a future council vote; no final contract was approved at this session. The item will return for formal council action on the stated Aug. 17 meeting date pending completion of negotiations and legal review.
