ADJOURNMENT BLJ ADJOURNED AT 1:50 P.M. 4 Funding Analysis Roanoke County & Roanoke City In an effort to develop an equitable, sustainable funding source, the Roanoke Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau is proposing funding from the City and the County based on a four year average of lodging, meals and admission taxes. The funding level we are recommending is 8%. Funding at this level would provide a return of the "buying power" the Bureau has lost over the past four years with flat funding. It will solve the competitive funding issue for the Bureau in the short term - 1 to 2 years -but long term, increased funding will still need to be addressed. Funding Formula City of Roanoke FY 93/94 FY 94/95 F~ 95/96 FY 96/97 Taxes collected Lodging, meals, admissions $6,142,000 $6,456,000 $7,040,000 $7,434,000 $27,072,000- 4 = $6,768,000 x 8% _ $541,440 County of Roanoke FY 93/94 FY 94/95 FY 95/96 FY 96/97 Taxes collected Lodging, meals, admissions $2,575,000 $2,784,000 $2,799,000 $2,813,000 $10,971,000- 4 = $2,742,750 x 8% _ $219,420 FY 97/98 Repuest for Current Funding Level FY 98/99 8% City of Roanoke $500,000 $525,000 $541,440 County of Roanoke 107 500 165 000 219 420 $607,500 $690,000 $760,860 As can be seen by the above table, the current funding request is only approximately '/z of the amount based on 8%. This will allow an extra yeaz for phasing in the request, while still providing some additional buying power for Bureau programs. It should be noted that neazly 80% of any additional funding over current levels will go directly towazds mazketing. Primazily, advertising and production of collateral materials will be the beneficiazies of this investment. i .. ,1 ROANOKE CITY COUNCIL ROANOKE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS JOINT MEETING Monday, February 2, 1998 -12:15 p.m. Emergency Operations Center Conference Room 159 Roanoke City Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, S.
