PUBLIC RELATIONS PROMOTIONS
DATE: December 14, 2006
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, approve out of State travel for Assistant City Manager and Marketing
Manager to participate in public relations promotions in New York, NY, January 8 - 12.
Funds are available in account numbers 110-4132-411-3120 and 110-4417-414-3120.
Background:
With the recent hiring of New York public relations firm, Nancy J. Friedman Public
Relations (NJFPR), comes the opportunity for representatives from Palm Desert to meet
face-to-face with travel editors, freelance writers, and other media. NJFPR recommends
travel in the beginning of January to take full advantage of the new year with editors
planning editorial calendars —story topics to be covered in print for the upcoming year.
NJFPR will arrange for up to four interviews each day with appropriate media.
Sufficient funds for travel expenses are in the Community Services and Marketing budget
