Norine Sigafoose, Seashore on the Sand, 2805 Ocean Street, stated she is speaking for thirteen of the seventeen hoteliers in Carlsbad. She stated the TOT in Carlsbad exceeds the TOT for all other north county cities combined, and it has come to the attention of the hotel industry that the Chamber is now reluctant to continue its role in the operation of the Carlsbad Convention and Visitors’ Bureau. Ms. Sigafoose stated the hotel operators are proposing an alternate plan for management of the tourist bureau. She stated the hotel owners and operators feel Steve Link has done an excellent job of getting Carlsbad recognized as a tourist center. Their plan would operate under the Carlsbad Village Business Association and proposes the formation of a separate hotel/motel governing board which would be responsible for the hiring of a director and proposes that Steve Link be hired as Director. Ms. Sigafoose requested Council to postpone signing the proposed six-month contract with the Chamber and place this group’s proposal on an agenda as soon as possible. Allan Wanamaker, 2399 Jefferson Street, stated he wanted to remind Council of the importance of ConVis and how important it is to maintain continuity. He said that the lack of a professional person who understands tourism would defeat Carlsbad’s chance to be successful in competing in the tourism market. He asked Council to consider the proposal presented by Ms. Sigafoose and to consider what is best for Carlsbad. Mary Kattus, R.N.B.A., Program Director, Adult Day Center, Encinitas, 2836 Cebu Court, spoke about their day care centers for frail elderly and mentally or physically handicapped persons and requested consideration for CDBG funding. City Manager Ray Patchett stated an agenda bill will be presented at a future meeting to consider extending the contract with the Chamber for six months and authorizing bidding for services for the following year. Mayor Lewis reiterated his concern with regard to any misinformation that may have been given to voters in the La Costa area with regard to the Green Valley initiative. Mayor Lewis stated that Ms. Kattus should contact the Housing and Redevelopment Department with regard to filling out an application for CDBG funds. a93 0 0 December 19, 1995 CITY COUNCIL Page 4 PUBLIC HEARINGS: 99 7.
