Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
Adopt Resolution No2011-75 rescinding Resolution No. 08-09 and
amending Resolution No. 03-49 changing the membership and
composition of the Palm Desert Marketing Committee.
Background
In April 2003, the City Council approved Resolution No. 03-49 establishing the Palm
Desert Marketing Committee and its related bylaws. Since that time, two resolutions
amending sections of the original resolution were approved. Resolution No. 04-11,
approved February 2004, established the holding of monthly meetings of the Marketing
Committee as opposed to the previous requirement of bi-monthly meetings.
Resolution No. 08-09, approved February 2008, increased the Marketing Committee
membership to nine members from the previously established seven member
committee. Included within this resolution was the identification of committee
composition. Section 5 of the bylaws was altered to read as follows:
"This Committee shall be comprised of no more than nine (9) members
representing a large hotel, a small hotel/motel, a large retailer, a small retailer, a
shopping center, a restaurant, the performing arts, and two tourism advocates."

At its meeting of July 14, 2011, City Council provided direction to staff to increase the
number of members serving on the Marketing Committee by two. Additionally, it was
requested that the composition of the committee also include a real estate
representative and a member representing culture and the arts. The resolution
proposed for Council's consideration reflects that direction.
