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.<br>
<br>
The Chamber requested $10,000 and itemized their request like this.<br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>$5000 for Staff Support:</span></b> 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.<br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>$2000 for Equipment:</span></b> 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.<br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>$3000 for Promotion and Advertising:</span></b>
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.<br>
<br>
I hope this information helps.<br>
