the Carlsbad Tourism Business Improvement District (CTBID).
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On March 15, 2010, the current Chair ofthe CTBID Board, April Shute, resigned her position on
the CTBID Board. On April 8^ • the Carisbad City Council appointed the hew Vice-President and
General Manager of La Costa Resort and Spa, Paul McConnick, to fill April Shute's vacated seat
on the Board. Since officers of the CTBID Board are elected by the CTBID Board of Directors, a
new Chair should be elected to fill the vacated Chair position. At the April 29*^ board meeting, the
CTBID Board deferred electing a new chair until this May 18* meeting.
The Current Vice Chair of the CTBID Board, Tim Stripe, is responsible for fulfilling the duties of
the Chair until a new Chair is elected. A suggested process for electing a new Chair is attached.
