SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
At the July 28 Council meeting, staff reported that during negotiations, it was agreed to renew the agreement with
the Chamber at a base contribution of $55,000 per year with no additional annual allocations. Based on the attached
report, the Sylvan Beach Festival has had an increase in net income since the City's $30,000 annual contribution to
the Chamber for this special event. Another change in the Agreement is the date for which the Chamber should
submit to the City, their budget. The first year of the 3-year Agreement remains in October, but the remaining 2
years should be submitted by July 5th in order for it to be reviewed before the City's budget process.
The contract between the City of La Porte and the La Porte-Bayshore Chamber of Commerce will expire September
30,2008. Therefore, staff recommends Council approve renewal of an agreement with the La Porte-Bayshore
Chamber of Commerce for a base contribution not to exceed $55,000 per year.
