IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT -
METROPOLITAN DETROIT CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAU
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS during the period 1975 through 1993, Oakland County
included in its budget an annual appropriation for the Metropolitan
Detroit Convention and Visitors Bureau in return for promoting
tourism and conventions that would benefit Oakland County
businesses; and
WHEREAS Oakland County's financial participation was
discontinued in the 1994 Budget due to actions taken to avoid an
overall budget shortfall, as well as concerns that the activities
of the Convention Bureau were not sufficiently focused on the needs
of the Oakland County business community; and
WHEREAS due to a change in management which is more customer
and regionally focused, as well as restructuring of their Board of
Directors to include a seat for the County Executive, the
Department of Community and Economic Development requests $7,500
for 1998 membership dues on the Metropolitan Detroit Convention and
Visitors Bureau; and
WHEREAS because of recent activities of the Convention Bureau,
including a researched and targeted marketing campaign which is
directing resources toward regional travel and destination
activities in Oakland County emphasizing hotel stays,
entertainment, dining and shopping opportunities, the County
Executive recommends approval of the foregoing request.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners accepts the invitation of the Metropolitan Detroit
Convention and Visitors Bureau to designate a seat on its board of
directors for the Oakland County Executive and authorizes an annual
appropriation of $7,500 for membership dues.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
