Mounds View City Council June 11, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 17 <br /> <br /> <br />John Connelly noted that Council is given the opportunity every September when budgets are <br />prepared to review the plan and determine whether the City likes where things are going. He <br />then noted that the process protects the City by allowing them input into the marketing plan. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney questioned whether the City had adequate protection. <br /> <br />City Attorney Riggs indicated that if Council was not comfortable with the time frame it was a <br />policy decision to be made. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre noted that because the Convention and Visitors Bureau would be presenting <br />information in September of the previous year Council will be able to determine if it likes the <br />direction they are taking. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas clarified that the City has the right to terminate after the first year and <br />stated that the second time frame is an 18-month period. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked if the Convention and Visitors Bureau was using grant money for <br />printing of publications. <br /> <br />John Connelly indicated they do not use grant money as grant money is usually for out of state <br />marketing. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked if the City’s hotels would be going into the Explore Minnesota <br />Guide. <br /> <br />John Connelly indicated that the Explore Minnesota Guide is distributed nationally but noted that <br />the Convention and Visitors Bureau did have the ability to be consistent with exposure through <br />the website and with other printed material. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked when the $4,000 would be first realized by the City. <br /> <br />John Connelly indicated it is the practice to allocate the funds in the calendar year following the <br />execution of the agreement. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Quick. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5569, a <br />Resolution Authorizing the Execution of an Agreement Between the City of Mounds View and <br />the Minneapolis North Convention and Visitors Bureau. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked whether the brochures would have the Explore Minnesota logo <br />on the cover. <br /> <br />John Connelly indicated that Council would see the logo in printed adds and noted that if there is <br />a match of dollars they would be able to use it. <br />
