2. Old Business
a. Status of Committee Resignations: At the June 14 City Council meeting the
Council voted to maintain the committee at its current number of ten
members.
b. Survey of Rohnert Park Hotels and Occupancy Levels: Chair Blanquie and
Adams passed out information on the local hotels and occupancy levels. Also
a list of the Sonoma County Transient Occupancy Taxes for each year since
1999. The occupancy rate of the local hotels is 50-60%. The TOT declined in
2001 but has remained relatively constant since then at approximately$1.3M
per year.
c. • Update of Stakeholder List: Manager Miller presented a mailing list of 85
pages of organizations who have rented parks or facilities from the Recreation
Department. The data in this list is unmanageable in its present form. Manager
Miller and committee members Stafford and Peterson will attempt to refine
the list to make it more manageable.
d. Review of Survey Instrument: Manager Miller presented a draft of a proposed
survey instrument. The Committee spent a significant amount of time
reviewing and editing the questions. The changes will be noted on the survey
for the next meeting and the remaining survey will be reviewed. Manager
Miller noted that the survey should not be the only method of soliciting
information from the community. Typically Stakeholder interviews and
community meetings are used to gather community needs information.
Peterson presented a proposed format change for the survey which will be
discussed once the content is determined.
3. New Business
