'gws44' bringing you this post.
It's official.
The talk around town, that the new Tourism Promotion Board, with no dissent among them now believes an RFP for tourism marketing is in the best interests of 81601, has been substantiated by board vice chairman Don Gillespie.
By unanimous vote at the 02/03/2011 City Council meeting, and after council comments, unanimous support was given to the board's recommendation.
Enough said.
The citizens of Glenwood Springs have now not only accomplished Ordinance #12, Series of 2010, they have made effective changes in oversight policy and placed the wishes of a community into putting the contract out for competitive bid and positive change.
Filling available seats on the board is Steve Beckley retaining.
While disappointing only because of his conflict of interest serving as a Chamber Director while the chamber is the tourism vendor; Ken Murphy retains. We assume that in any bid the Chamber may wish to put in for the future, all Tourism Board members who are also Chamber Board directors will abstain.
By unanimous vote, Scott Hemmen retaining his current seat. A very special thank you goes out to Hemmen for his desire to retain.
This is a board that was given a very, very tough job that made the conscious choice to pull together as a team.
Enough said.
'smalltown7' feels this action on the part of the City of Glenwood Springs closes the Current Watch on the Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association.
Public funds are secured into oversight's hands and the voices of a community have had the ability to raise in a safe place.
Allowing your public comments now, in our view, is neither necessary or appropriate. smalltown can be reached by email at smalltown8@gmail.com and also by personal contact for those of you that have that information.
smalltown7 goes dark.
