The historical meetings between Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and President Ronald Reagan, Just In Geneva and re- cently In Moscow, in giving the world a new hope for peaceful coexistence have created a tremendous desire for grass root dialogue between the Soviet and American people. With this in mind, the National League of Cities Is sponsoring this official visit, which will Include meetings with Soviet City Officials and an opportunity to experience the flavor of some of the great variety of nationalities which make up the Soviet Union. In addition to the great cities of Moscow and Leningrad, the visit will Include the area be- tween the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea on the Turkish and Iranian borders, consisting of the Georgian Republic and the Armenian and Azerbaidzhan Republics. both of which have been much In the news recently. Our non-stop flight New York -Moscow on board Pan Am',s 747 jumbo let will take advan- tage of the new joint venture between Pan American and Aeroflot Soviet Airlines and Is In it- self the result of the new relationship. I hope that many of our members will take advantage of this opportunity to further the spirit of glasnost between our nations. � Gs-"vim-- ALAN Dims Executive Director SOVIf'T UNION F WESTERNHALF ----_--- w�nau►a 5 KMAKK WL UWADHIML i i i itinerary Day 1—December 27, Tuesday the old city with Its ancient Mosque and DEPARTURE FROM NEW YORK lovely blue minarets, the industrial park Departure from New York on Pan Am for which includes the famous rose jam can - the overnight, non-stop flight to Moscow. nery, the beautiful fountains on Shaumyan Day 2—December 28, Wednesday—MOSCOW Square and possibly a visit to the Coliec- tive Farm market.

The Executive Director would coordinate a promotional plan for the Bicentennial Cele- bration along with the solicitation of organizations to select Kenai as their site for their meetings and/or conventions. The priorities of the Board of Directors and the Executive Director would be: (1) the coordination and development of the upcoming Bicentennial Celebration (1791-1991); (2) the solicitation of conventions and meetings to the City of Kenai; and (3) the Promotion of the City of Kenai, in coordination with the City of Kenai and the Kenai Chamber of Commerce. The Board of Directors and the Executive Director would also work diligently to secure and obtain long-term funding for the Visitors 6 Convention Bureau that would allow for future promotion and development of the tourism industry after the culmination Of the Bicentennial celebration. However, in order to assure that the Bicentennial celebration would be successful and of great pride to our community and to our citizens, we would request a commit- ment from the City of Kenai of its on -going participation in funding for the Visitors 6 Convention Bureau, at least through June 30, 1991. After review of this material, we respectfully request a work session be scheduled with the members of Council and representatives of the Visitors 6 Convention Bureau, at your earliest convenience. We hope that the above information may be of some assistance in your deliberations and we look forward to a successful and beneficial association of the Kenai Visitors 6 Convention Bureau and the City of Kenai. y Sincerely, KENAI VISITORS 6 CONVENTION BUREAU .0 F4 ' ROBERT F.

It is a non-profit status, a nine -member board is proposed, there is $500 in their account. It was setup to utilize grant funds. They are nominated and elected by the Chamber Board. Bob Williams: Their intent was to make a board of businesses involved with tourism. They have been held back by a lack of funds. Councilwoman Bailie: She contacted Anchorage & Juneau tourism boards. Their boards are elected by membership of the chambers. The Mayor can name 3 positions on the Board. They have bed taxes. Anchorage has 25 board positions. The categories are: a) activities, b) community, c) financial profit, d) food service, e) government, f) lodging, g) retail, h) services, i) transportation & tours. There is a maximum of 4 from each category. Anchorage has a $2.1 Million budget, Juneau - $310,000. Mayor Williams: They have proposed an AML convention here, it should bring in $1/4 Million. Councilwoman Bailie: $150 income per day for each convention in Juneau. Mayor Williams: We don't want just a visitors 6 Convention Bureau, we must include the Bicentennial. We need a bicentennial stamp from the post office. He suggested a Bicentennial Committee of 5 members, it would roll over to a promotional bureau. He asked Atty. Sutcliffe to prepare an ordinance for the Aug. 3 meeting to sunset the Bicentennial Commission. He further proposed all present commission members be members of the Board. It is easier to get funds as a private board. We are looking at funding from private - organizations, such as CIRI,--We will -need an agreement - between the City and the Board. Councilwoman Bailie suggested $150,000 from the City, with a full time director, equipment, travel, and L 1 I KENAI COUNCIL, BICENTENNIAL COMISSION, VISITORS & CONVENTION JULY 28, 1988 _.

The City wants to collect their own, as a first -,_ class city, they can do this. Mayor Williams: We have a $244,000 for a bond payment and $8,000 for tax payments in unexpected City expenditures. We need a report from Finance Director Brown regarding where we stand now. He suggested the first job of the director would be to seek funds. Councilwoman Bailie: Tourism is the $2 industry in the state, Kenai has done nothing to promote tourism. Ron Malstons Sue Carter & Bob Williams can put 'feels together a figure for start-up.' The Chamber we i can put a board together and make it work. :.. George Ford: What is the relationship between the Board and the Chamber? Bob Williams: The intent was to have the Board made up of tour -related people, but funded by the Chamber. Bob Cowan: In setting up the Board, we should be careful with the wording. "Facility" is wrong, the easiest way to get a facility is to make it a museum. Mayor Williams: The City can act as pass -through with funds, we may have land for the Board to use. Jim Carter: There is a tourism promotion law (N478) that gives 50% of the program by grant. fi Mayor Williams: We will want a discussion of funding j and appropriating ordinance for Sept. 7 meeting, with public hearing Sept. 21. We may be able to ask the 3 Borough for a 3 way split. . Jackie obergs We are setting up a non-profit organization. You have to have seed money to start. You may need 3 years to establish credit for grants. Sharon Williams: If you try to tag anything with civic center on it, it is the kiss of death. The public is against this. °J Mayor Williams: We are hoping to split with Soldotna on the AML meeting. They have the hotels, we can have -------.--- -= - - the small meetings.
