A dangerous irrevocable and a Irreparable precedent would be set to grant the TBID unbridled powers. At best TBID fickled with growing pains of grandeur -- and arrogance or incompetence.
after attending the Tbid meeting yesterday, the 27th, the atmosphere felt clique-ish and not worth the money they collect.
they want a 5 or 10 year contract rather than the one year they barely have after the Council cancelled them, then relented and gave them this year contract. ALL accountability and transparency would hidden then for 5-10 years.
i witnessed the 3 member panel and definitely felt there should be MORE members on the Tbid council.
There simply is NOT tourist attractions in 29 Palms to advertise. miniature golf ? the glass toilet ?
Now they will pay Civitas 29,000 (?) to do their job that they should be doing !
Billboards on the 10 freeway at tens of thousands of dollars for several weeks !
Let the Tbid pay for the city street sweeper since the downtown area is the only swept area in the city.
For two hours they pat each other on the back for the fine work they have done, but there is no increase in tourism and no statistics to show they are being successful.
Hi Clyde - I was there as well, at the press table. Come say hi next time!
Usually there are 5 members....2 were absent: Maria Madrid and Ben Uyeda. The Chair should have acknowledged the absences at the start of the meeting so the public isn't confused. And, for instance, the vote, that was announced 2-1, technically is 2-1-2, meaning 2 yes, 1 no, 2 absent (or abstain).
The TBID.................not ready for prime time players. Very amateurish for the loads of money they collect.
