Dear Mayor Duggan:
The Annual Conference & Exhibit Site Selection Committee met on February 28 to review bids for
the League's 2004 meeting. The committee selected Sioux City to host that meeting. In addition to
the incentives offered by cities bidding for the meeting, geography was very much a part of the
discussion. The committee noted that the conference is being held in eastern and east central Iowa
for the next three years and thought it would be fair to take the meeting to the western part of the
state. The Site Selection Committee's recommendation was ratified by die League Executive Board
at their meeting on March 1.
Since the League's conference continues to grow and it is becoming difficult for some cities to bid
for our desired dates, staff has been directed to send out RFP' s in December and request bids for the
years 2005 and 2006.
We appreciate your enthusiastic proposals and the many ificentives offered to host the League's
Annual Conference and hope you will respond to the RFP for the 2005 and 2006 meetings.
Sincerely,
Vicky Fluhrer, Chair
Annual Conference & Exhibit
