Describe the importance of balancing Lodging Tax related expenditures on: capital, operations, events, and marketing. What do you feel is the highest priority and why? In the past, we seem to have gone from one "extreme" to another in dividing up the Lodging Tax income. To correct that, Council has advised us to put a renewed emphasis on capital expenditures. This is all good; except that we have learned that, "if we build it they will come" only as we market what we have built and only as we maintain it and have support for keeping it operating (including the expenses involved in yearly activity). So a balance needs to be kept. 2. How will you support implementation of event funding? Recognizing the fact that funding for events is limited, explain how you feel historic events should be weighed against new event opportunities. How will time of year play into your decision making? Events that have had a high success rate in (1) serving locals and (2) attracting people to this city should be funded. However, we must be wary of increasingly adding to the financial support for each additional year...as the trend seems to be that the activity requests a 10% or more increase year-to-year. In my opinion, some events should, after time, be less dependent on this tax. Admittedly, they have a "right" to expect support, since the event has attracted people and tax money. But it is also true that start-up events need funding in order to reach out and attract people, too. Last time, I felt we were in danger of increasing support for the larger events and cutting the smaller ones to the bone. A balance needs to be met, and if anything, we need to continue to support the birth and growth of new activities. 3. What is your future vision of Port Angeles as a tourism destination? Well, I came to Port Angeles first as a tourist! And the attraction was not the activities that were and are organized here, as much as the natural surroundings. However, I realize that attracting people here for events gives them their first look, perhaps, at these surroundings. So I applaud all the new ventures (Art in Plein Air, Shakespeare in the Park, Arts and Draughts, etc.) and am happy that our marketing firm is making a real impact in getting the word out. It is obvious that logging and fishing are no longer driving forces here; and we are a perfect tourist destination as well as a starting off point for other destinations. 4. Based on your current involvement in the tourism industry(if any) do you perceive any conflicts of interest? How will you address any potential or perceived conflict of interest? My involvement in the tourism industry is only as a "user". No conflict should arise. I am involved in the arts and in parks and recreation, but not employed or paid in any way..except pleasure.
