CONVENTION & VISITORS BOARD MEETING
JANUARY 7. 1991
The meeting was called to order at 6.35 p.m. by Chairman Alan
Battersby. Other members, staff and guests present included
Juanema Keys, Sharon Rowley, Marty Curtis, Gwen Morrison, Skip
Morse, Hartley Sappington, Liz Taylor, Pam Coots - Ramada Inn, Ruth
Ann Combs - Georgetown Weekly, Sharon Larson - Comfort Inn.
1. Minutes from the December meeting were approved on a motion
from Morrison, second from Keys, motion carried unanimously.
2. DGA Directory Signs -- no representatives from DGA in
attendance.
Battersby: talked with Don Hansen at Texas Hotel & Motel
Association (TH & MA) - said project would only be legal
in his opinion if no less than 75% of the directory is
devoted to designating the historic sites and buildings.
Also, Hansen will send written confirmation of this
opinion.
Morrison: still has concern that tourism monies be used to
pay for entire project and list retail businesses without
any retail businesses paving for any portion of the
roject. doesn't feel we can equate this project with
iIlail directories because it ilalls the businesses do pay
for the signs.
Discussion: if CVB pays for entire project then we suggest
that the directory list the name of the historic building
with second line indicating the current use of the space,
not listing the name of the business, just the type of
business.
Motion: This request for monies shall not be placed on the
agenda for the CVB again until all questions and concerns
indicated at the December meeting (proposed locations
indicated for each site, accurate description and/or
example of content for the map, complete and exact costs
for 4-6 signs) have been responded to by the DGA
representatives, to the satisfaction of Taylor. Morrison
made motion, Rowley seconded, motion carried unanimously.
3. Taylor presented Director's report.
Morrison asked that a letter be sent from this Board to the
Palace Theater Group indicatinq the support and encouragement of
this Board for that project. Taylor ill compose letter and send w
immediately.
Meeting adjourned at 7:1' p.m.
