RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Adopt a resolution authorizing the Chairperson to enter into an agreement between the
Carlsbad Tourism Business Improvement District (CTBID) and the Carlsbad Convention
and Visitors Bureau (CCVB) for tourism promotion services for the period July 1, 2020
through June 30, 2021.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Since the inception of the Carlsbad Tourism Business Improvement District (CTBID), the CTBID
Board has contracted with Carlsbad Convention and Visitors Bureau, 501(c)(6) corporation (dba
Visit Carlsbad), to provide tourism marketing services for the CTBID. The scope of those services
have included operation of the visitor center, web site development and administration, print and
internet advertising, public relations and various other tourism marketing activities identified in the
contract. The Visit Carlsbad Board develops the scope of work and presents it to the CTBID Board
for approval along with the proposed budget for the work, which is then included in the CTBID
annual budget.
At the April 8 CTBID Board meeting, Visit Carlsbad presented to the CTBID Board its proposed
program of work and budget for fiscal year 2020-21. Based on its review and discussion of the
budget, the CTBID Board directed staff to bring back the contract for approval and to include
funding for the contract in the CTBID's 2020-21 budget.
Following discussion, if the Board would like Visit Carlsbad to provide promotional and tourism
marketing services for fiscal year 2020-21, as outlined in the contract, the CTBID Board should
adopt the resolution in Exhibit 1.
FISCAL IMPACT:
For the fiscal year 2020-21, projected revenues for the CTBID are estimated at $800,000. The
total payment for this contract for this twelve-month period is $800,000. The CTBID's reserves as
of July 1, 2020, are estimated to be $529,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This action does not qualify as a project under the California Environment Quality Act ("CEQA")
and will not have a physical adverse effect on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines 15378(b)(5).)
