[Vision2020] City of Moscow Gives Moscow Chamber of Commerce $10, 000

[John Dickinson]

Saundra,

Thanks for attending the city council meeting. Your recollections of the
meeting seem accurate to me, but you did not have access to the details of
the Chamber's request. I thought I would pass that information on to you
here.

The Chamber requested $10,000 and itemized their request like this.

$5000 for Staff Support: As the official Moscow Visitor Center, roughly 65%
of our daily activity involves visitor / tourism / community-related
information activities by Chamber staff. As the "Front Door" to Moscow it is
important the Chamber provide our visitors with a positive, professional,
and attractive image and timely, factual, and accurate information.

$2000 for Equipment: The Chamber needs to upgrade several pieces of office
equipment including fax machine, computers and software. As the "Information
Clearinghouse" for Moscow, it remains important to produce high-quality and
professional materials and information to the public. Image is important.

$3000 for Promotion and Advertising: As we serve to promote our community
and businesses, it is important to advertise and publish in regional travel
publications as well as continue production of the annual Moscow-Pullman
Visitor Guide and the City Map.

I hope this information helps.
