SUBJECT: Purchase of Service Agreement - Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce
Convention and Visitors Bureau
During the Fiscal Year 2012 budget process, the Mayor and City Council provided
$823,109 for a Purchase of Service Agreement with Dubuque Area Chamber of
Commerce Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Budget Director Jennifer Larson is recommending that a Purchase of Services
Agreement be executed with the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce Convention
and Visitors Bureau in the amount of $823,109. This amount represents 50 percent of
the hotel /motel tax received by the City for the period of October 1, 2009, through
September 30, 2010, net of the eighth of ten marketing loan debt payments, per
agreement, as approved by the City Council during the Fiscal Year 2012 budget
process.
In FY 2003, this agreement was expanded (Exhibit B) to include greater City Council
involvement in review of the marketing plan and budgeting process for the use of these
City funds.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.
