At 10:30 a.m., the board will consider a report from the Lake County Tourism Improvement District on its activities over the past year and approve an agreement between the county of Lake and Visit Lake County California for the provision of administrative services in the amount of $78,000 from March 2, 2021 to June 30, 2021, and authorize the chair to sign.
County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson’s report to the board states that the board passed a resolution on June 19, 2018, declaring the intention to establish the Lake County Tourism Improvement District, or LCTID.
The LCTID Board is composed of lodging business owners, a representative from the county of Lake, the city of Clearlake and the city of Lakeport as well as other tourism representatives and was seated on Nov. 7, 2018, Huchingson said.
She said the official manager of the LCTID is Visit Lake County California, a 501(c)3 organization which acts as the owners’ association for the LCTID.
“With the establishment of the LCTID and its own revenue stream, County staff are no longer engaged in tourism marketing directly and funds previously used for direct services are now provided to the LCTID for marketing and destination tourism activities, which promote the local economy,” Huchingson said.
Huchingson asked for the board’s approval of the agreement, which authorizes the county to provide funds for the purpose of marketing Lake County.
“Historically, the funds for these services have been directed to multiple vendors. With the creation of the LCTID the funds can now be directed to one vendor (Visit Lake County California) which will be responsible for promoting Lake County as a tourist, meeting and event destination,” Huchingson said.
The full agenda follows.
