Thanks Kathy,
I will at least send the Council members an email supporting this ongoing
experiment. AG really needs a more hotels so that the AGBID has some real
money to spend.
This makes me think about Jimmy Paulding’s suggestion of pulling Oceano under
the wing of Grover Beach. Shoot - maybe we should just pull the entire Five Cites
under one governmental body. Under that arrangement the entire area could have
access to all the Pismo BID money! Seems like an “equitable" arrangement! Isn’t
that what governments are all after these days? HA! Jim - your could "one up"
Jimmy with that suggestion!!
Kathy - what has transpired with the development of guidelines for the AGBID
promoting events in the Village? Harvest Festival is just around the corner!

The City Council will be deciding to continue or stop collecting the additional Tourism
Business Improvement District tax at next week’s meeting.
The AGTBID is working hard promoting Arroyo Grande as a destination worthy of an
overnight stay. This marketing is essential given the proximity or surrounding cities and
their ability to draw large crowds of visitor.
It would be great if you would attend the meeting or at least right an email to city
expressing your desire to continue the AGTBID.
Thank

Subject: AGTBID
Hi Caren, Please keep AGTBID.
What TBID means for businesses in the village.
1.. The AGTBID keeps Arroyo Grande top of mind. Without the extra promotion we are in danger
reverting back to only receiving the overflow from Pismo Beach.
2.. Those extra visitors staying in our hotels equates to extra customers shopping and dining
Arroyo Grande. Businesses need those extra customers to thrive.
3.. Without the AGTBID we lose the website promoting our events outside the South Count
4.. Without the AGTBID we lose the sponsorship funding opportunity for events available throu
the TBID.
5.. Without the AGTBID there will be an additional burden placed on City Staff to promote Arro
Grande to Vistors.
6.. Without the AGTBID would we still be able to promote Arroyo Grande at the Californ
Welcome Center?
7.. The Community doesn’t pay for these services, Vistors do. It doesn’t make sense TO CANCEL i
The extra efforts and benefits we receive are worth continuing.
Thank You For Being Our Mayor!
