Resolution No. 09 -01, Participating in Convention and Visitors Bureau — Economic <br />104 Development Coordinator Divine reported that she has been working with representatives of the two <br />105 hotels that are located in Lino Lakes regarding their interest in future convention and visitor <br />106 opportunities. They have expressed an interest, along with other hotels in Blaine, Shoreview and <br />107 Coon Rapids, in creating a convention and visitor's bureau that is focused on cities that are in close <br />108 proximity to the National Sports Center.

Staff is <br />112 not requesting that the council authorize that tax at this time but recommends approval of a <br />113 resolution indicating the city's support for participation in a new bureau. The matter was reviewed <br />114 and discussed at the council work session. <br />115 <br />116 Council Member O'Donnell moved to approve Resolution No. 09 -01 as presented.
