1 00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:19,560 Then it is 5.02 p.m. on March 10th, 2026. And I am councilmember Johnson. I will call the meeting of the lodging tax advisory committee to order. 2 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:32,240 And we will start with the roll call. And if you are here, just say aye, starting the order that is presented in the agenda packet. Richard Anderson. 3 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:33,900 Present. 4 00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:37,640 Or present. That works too. Kelly Coughlin. 5 00:00:40,070 --> 00:00:41,850 Okay. Lori Hay. 6 00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:43,090 Present. 7 00:00:43,870 --> 00:00:45,530 And Selena Duane. 8 00:00:46,130 --> 00:00:46,630 Present. 9 00:00:46,970 --> 00:00:47,790 Did I say that correctly? 10 00:00:49,290 --> 00:00:49,630 Yep. 11 00:00:50,090 --> 00:00:50,790 Okay, excellent. 12 00:00:51,930 --> 00:00:59,630 There is not an agenda approval, so we will just, I guess, assume that it is approved. 13 00:00:59,630 --> 00:01:06,350 And there is one discussion item that is the 2026 LTCH application review and recommendations. 14 00:01:07,010 --> 00:01:14,590 And there are four items that are before the committee to discuss. 15 00:01:14,770 --> 00:01:18,910 There's also a scoring rubric for them. 16 00:01:19,230 --> 00:01:24,970 And my understanding is that if someone is the applicant, 17 00:01:24,970 --> 00:01:34,630 But they are also a member of this committee, then they are required to accuse themselves from discussion of that item. 18 00:01:34,970 --> 00:01:44,970 And the way this will go is that we'll have a motion for each item, followed by discussion of each item, including going through the scoring rubric, 19 00:01:45,770 --> 00:01:54,010 followed by a vote after the discussion and going through the rubric as to whether to approve each item. 20 00:01:54,010 --> 00:01:57,410 staff, does that sound like the correct order of business? 21 00:01:58,610 --> 00:01:59,850 Yes, Council Member Johnson. 22 00:02:00,290 --> 00:02:06,450 Okay. Then we will begin with, let me find the right thing here. 23 00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:09,680 Okay. 24 00:02:09,860 --> 00:02:18,060 I suggest that we start with one of the applications that is not the chamber because she would have to recuse herself from that one. 25 00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:18,460 So. 26 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:19,700 Okay. 27 00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:24,960 Then that would be the, I'm trying to think how to name this, 28 00:02:25,140 --> 00:02:28,020 the Snoqualmie Valley Regional Chamber. 29 00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:31,420 And the project name would be the World Kepp Marketing. 30 00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:34,220 Yes, so let's move that to the end 31 00:02:34,220 --> 00:02:36,580 and then we can start with one of the other three. 32 00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:38,620 Oh, got it. 33 00:02:41,490 --> 00:02:41,850 Okay. 34 00:02:42,810 --> 00:02:45,630 Then going in the order that was in the agenda. 35 00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:46,170 All the way around. 36 00:02:46,290 --> 00:02:47,330 Yeah, council member Johnson. 37 00:02:48,450 --> 00:02:50,110 Okay, that's kind of what I thought. 38 00:02:50,110 --> 00:02:53,890 Okay, then we'll start with that one should be the other way since she's not here 39 00:02:53,890 --> 00:02:55,810 We should vote on hers because she has to recuse 40 00:02:58,350 --> 00:03:01,690 Okay, I feel better. Thank you. Sorry. No, I'm paying attention 41 00:03:05,410 --> 00:03:10,370 See whether I was daydreaming or not. Yes, okay, excellent. I've never on the same page 42 00:03:10,370 --> 00:03:16,430 then we will go to the snow valley regional chamber the project name is the world-kept marketing and 43 00:03:16,430 --> 00:03:22,750 And can I get a motion to approve this item for, 44 00:03:23,210 --> 00:03:27,510 and if staff can help me with the precise wording, 45 00:03:27,710 --> 00:03:33,110 but the motion would be to approve this application 46 00:03:33,790 --> 00:03:35,930 for blank. 47 00:03:38,170 --> 00:03:39,770 What is the bill on the blank? 48 00:03:39,970 --> 00:03:42,710 Could I just ask a point of order type question here? 49 00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:46,250 Could somebody explain to me exactly what we're doing 50 00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:50,650 today that's different than what we did in the fall and if there's a scoring rubric what it is 51 00:03:50,650 --> 00:03:56,210 you'd actually like us to do because I will do it but I haven't been given any advanced briefing 52 00:03:56,210 --> 00:04:03,250 of what I'm being asked to do today. Sure thing Richard um so um some things have changed with 53 00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:09,770 the process we improved upon things so and I can make you a copy of the of a rubric but we've 54 00:04:09,770 --> 00:04:17,470 created a – so going back to last year, the votes were not for each application – votes 55 00:04:17,470 --> 00:04:20,050 were not taken for all of the individual applications. 56 00:04:20,690 --> 00:04:25,590 And we also realized that we needed to fill the vacant position. 57 00:04:26,190 --> 00:04:32,730 So in that time, we have filled the second position with the San Juanmian, and we have 58 00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:35,290 now provided this rubric for the score sheet. 59 00:04:35,290 --> 00:04:42,570 so each application will be scored by you guys using this rubric and then we'll review the points 60 00:04:42,570 --> 00:04:48,610 and then the money, the funds, you would vote on the funds based on the scoresheets 61 00:04:48,610 --> 00:04:52,730 if they meet the criteria. Did you need me to get a copy of the rubrics for you? 62 00:04:52,890 --> 00:04:56,010 Yes, I have not received one. Thank you. I will let me pause and I will 63 00:04:57,450 --> 00:05:01,830 it was in the packet. I'm sorry that we didn't have a copy. 64 00:05:01,830 --> 00:05:04,990 I'm not sure that I got a packet, I'm sorry. 65 00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:06,910 Was there a packet sent out? 66 00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:10,610 Oh, okay. 67 00:05:12,630 --> 00:05:14,330 Oh, she disappeared. That was quick. 68 00:05:15,130 --> 00:05:16,290 There's a copy machine now. 69 00:05:17,890 --> 00:05:22,810 And then just while that's here and others, I probably should have called and asked. 70 00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:27,590 I just wasn't sure what we were going to do today and I thought it was just going to be a short meeting. 71 00:05:27,750 --> 00:05:30,870 I apologize for not getting more information. 72 00:05:34,420 --> 00:05:42,620 And then I think that the film, the blank is going to be and to prove and recommend a council. Does that sound correct to staff? 73 00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:44,180 That does. 74 00:05:44,820 --> 00:05:46,120 Okay. Excellent. Thank you. 75 00:05:46,980 --> 00:05:51,240 And we'll, I'll reintroduce that when everyone has the scoring group at Candy. 76 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:52,520 Perfect. 77 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:52,680 Right. 78 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,920 We're realizing they probably need all the applications as well. 79 00:06:06,380 --> 00:06:08,460 Can you can you print from there? 80 00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:12,060 Thank you to the downtown printer or the downstairs. 81 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:13,420 Yeah, sure. 82 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,760 So, Nicole, we're going to need you to look on your computer. 83 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:35,460 I did not receive it. 84 00:06:35,660 --> 00:06:41,240 I never received any notification from her in October that she had sent it, so I never 85 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,820 checked in Zoom, get ready and spam anything, so all this time I've not heard from that 86 00:06:45,820 --> 00:06:46,180 applicant. 87 00:06:46,580 --> 00:06:46,900 I know. 88 00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:47,600 So 89 00:06:58,740 --> 00:07:06,900 since I'm not there, I'll just have to get a little notification or an indication if we're ready to proceed or not. 90 00:07:10,350 --> 00:07:16,910 One moment, Council Member Johnson, we're actually printing out the packet materials for the members. 91 00:07:18,830 --> 00:07:28,950 Okay, so while we're getting the packets printed, I think it's good for the sake of the order for the meeting to explain why we are here again. 92 00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:37,670 So, yes, we did meet last October, but because we didn't have the position filled and because 93 00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:44,290 not all of the applications were motioned and voted and scored correctly, it was determined 94 00:07:44,290 --> 00:07:47,550 that that meeting, the actions of that meeting were essentially null and void. 95 00:07:47,970 --> 00:07:51,010 So, in the meantime, we have filled the position. 96 00:07:51,310 --> 00:07:52,850 We've also created the rubric. 97 00:07:53,090 --> 00:07:57,810 So we are taking all of the applications that were turned in at that time and we're 98 00:07:57,810 --> 00:08:02,390 now moving them forward. Nothing but the applications has been different from when we met in October. 99 00:08:03,090 --> 00:08:07,770 So we're now just here reviewing those four applications. Just for the record, because 100 00:08:07,770 --> 00:08:12,350 there was chatter and it probably wasn't recorded on the microphone, it was just brought to 101 00:08:12,350 --> 00:08:16,850 my attention that there was an applicant that had submitted an application. I never 102 00:08:16,850 --> 00:08:22,350 heard from that applicant at any time last October. There was no verification that 103 00:08:22,350 --> 00:08:24,950 that application had been sent. 104 00:08:25,570 --> 00:08:28,390 There was no communication, hey, what happened with that meeting? 105 00:08:29,390 --> 00:08:33,530 So at this point, I'm not able to do anything with that information. 106 00:08:33,710 --> 00:08:38,290 We are going with the four applications that we had received last October. 107 00:08:40,210 --> 00:08:46,010 We will get some packets for you right now of all of the applications. 108 00:08:46,270 --> 00:08:52,150 Again, the applications are the same, but there are different categories that you will 109 00:08:52,150 --> 00:09:00,950 need to look at those to to provide your points and I can just say it's eligibility. 110 00:09:01,890 --> 00:09:07,530 So the application was completed and submitted prior to the deadline, which all four applications 111 00:09:07,530 --> 00:09:09,090 were submitted prior to the deadline. 112 00:09:09,730 --> 00:09:13,530 The completedness is something that you're going to have to look at all four applications 113 00:09:13,530 --> 00:09:18,830 because if I'm referring back to that meeting there was one I believe you all felt was 114 00:09:18,830 --> 00:09:25,790 was not completed. Project Location. Is the project located within the Sohwami 115 00:09:25,790 --> 00:09:31,630 City Limits? Value Assessment. Does the project contribute to local economy? Does 116 00:09:31,630 --> 00:09:37,090 the project enhance visitor experience? Is the project viable and 117 00:09:37,090 --> 00:09:41,910 efficient in economical use of funds? Marketing Plan. The project marketing 118 00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:46,630 plan is identified and the project is designed to attract tourists. Partners 119 00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:47,410 partners and collaborators. 120 00:09:47,930 --> 00:09:52,670 Project has viable partners and or cooperation that demonstrates community collaboration. 121 00:09:54,330 --> 00:09:58,310 And then the points at the bottom, zero meets no requirements. 122 00:09:58,590 --> 00:10:01,190 One partially meets requirements, two meets all requirements. 123 00:10:01,870 --> 00:10:07,070 And then we are stating on record, committee members that submit applications will abstain 124 00:10:07,070 --> 00:10:11,490 from scoring their own applications and this score sheet will become public record. 125 00:10:15,340 --> 00:10:17,060 And also abstain from voting. 126 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:17,640 Is that correct? 127 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,600 Yes. So they will abstain from voting on an application if it's one that they have submitted. 128 00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:33,310 So we have two applications that have been submitted by organizations that two of the commissioners represent. 129 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,100 A question, Council Member Johnson. 130 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:46,280 Yes. 131 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:57,400 Shouldn't these scoring rubrics also identify who is doing the scoring then if they're going to be potentially an auditable record? 132 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,160 Good question. 133 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:11,920 Mr. Thrall, we do have a question with regard to a record of who is doing the 134 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:17,980 scoring. Should the members of the committee perhaps put their names on these scorecards? 135 00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:25,300 I believe that would be a good idea, just so there's a record of how they were scored. 136 00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:34,540 And that way, there'd be also the same record of that a member did not score their own item. 137 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:35,800 Correct. 138 00:11:36,460 --> 00:11:36,560 Right. 139 00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:38,160 So there would be no conflict of issue. 140 00:11:38,660 --> 00:11:38,760 Praise. 141 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,040 So 142 00:11:46,610 --> 00:11:50,010 are we scoring these together or are we scoring them separately? 143 00:11:50,570 --> 00:11:51,610 Like we've done in the past. 144 00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:52,870 We've done them together. 145 00:11:53,950 --> 00:11:56,690 Each one will be scored individually, I believe. 146 00:11:58,070 --> 00:11:58,950 That is correct. 147 00:11:58,950 --> 00:11:59,770 Yeah. 148 00:12:02,060 --> 00:12:04,740 Are we going to come back and talk about it or just score? 149 00:12:05,020 --> 00:12:13,840 So we were reviewing, sorry, Chair, we were reviewing standard Robert's Rules of Procedure. 150 00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:20,100 So you would have a motion to discuss this application, have your discussion, and then 151 00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:28,880 you would have a vote, is that what you're thinking, Chair, a vote to approve or to 152 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,480 to total the points and then approve funding. 153 00:12:33,140 --> 00:12:34,660 Okay, and one last question.

It was trending away from the topic 859 00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:52,540 at hand 860 00:57:56,090 --> 00:58:00,270 Okay, any other discussion on this item prior to a vote, 861 00:58:03,650 --> 00:58:06,370 okay, then all in favor say aye and 862 00:58:09,610 --> 00:58:11,570 Those opposed say nay nay 863 00:58:12,770 --> 00:58:15,910 I believe I heard four nays and no eyes. 864 00:58:17,850 --> 00:58:24,130 So this item fails and we have approved three. 865 00:58:24,790 --> 00:58:29,570 There is no further business before this committee. 866 00:58:29,710 --> 00:58:38,910 However, I am just curious from staff's perspective on those other two items where in the motion we didn't say the value. 867 00:58:38,910 --> 00:58:43,690 Is there a need to go back and revisit those to just clarify the value in the motion? 868 00:58:44,210 --> 00:58:46,610 And if so, what's the best way to do that? 869 00:58:50,130 --> 00:58:56,490 So in each of the applications, it does have the lodging tax request of 7,500 across the board. 870 00:58:57,010 --> 00:59:04,670 However, I do believe it would be best since it was stated in the last two motions to go back 871 00:59:04,670 --> 00:59:15,990 and make a motion stating the funding for each free, the first two that the funding was not stated for. 872 00:59:17,450 --> 00:59:18,010 Yeah. 873 00:59:18,810 --> 00:59:24,430 Then if you could just help me with the wording, then... 874 00:59:24,430 --> 00:59:26,690 The first application was World Cup Marketing. 875 00:59:27,930 --> 00:59:29,610 Second, he's talking about the wording for the motion. 876 00:59:29,910 --> 00:59:30,190 Oh. 877 00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:30,670 Yeah. 878 00:59:30,750 --> 00:59:30,930 Right. 879 00:59:30,930 --> 00:59:42,930 Okay, so I think that what it could be is something like a motion to amend the approval 880 00:59:42,930 --> 00:59:50,170 and recommendation to council for the Snowqualmie Valley Regional Chamber application to include 881 00:59:50,170 --> 00:59:55,470 the funds requested in the amount of $7,500. 882 00:59:55,470 --> 00:59:59,830 of dollars.
