MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROBERT MCFALL, INTERIM CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT TO ARROYO GRANDE
TOURISM BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ADVISORY BOARD
DATE: NOVEMBER 22, 2016
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council appoint David Kastner to the Arroyo Grande
Tourism Business Improvement District (AGTBID) Advisory Board.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is no financial or staffing impact from the recommended action.
BACKGROUND:
At the February 26, 2013 meeting, the City Council adopted a Resolution establishing
the AGTBID Advisory Board. The Resolution set forth that the AGTBID Advisory Board
shall consist of three to seven members, 2/3rds of which shall be representatives of
local lodging businesses. At the May 14, 2013 meeting, the City Council made the
original appointments to the AGTBID Advisory Board. The appointments included three
members, all of which were representatives of local lodging businesses.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Previous Advisory Board Member Mike Panchal, from the Aloha Inn, resigned in
approximately March of 2016. However, Mr. Panchal was considering re-applying for
the position, thus causing the delay in appointing a replacement. However, at this time
it is recommended that David Kastner be appointed as a replacement for the vacant
position. Mr. Kastner is the Marketing Coordinator for the Clark Center, previously was
a local retailer for six years, an employee at "Visit San Luis Obispo County" for nine
years and served for two years on the AG Chamber of Commerce Tourism Committee.
Mr. Kastner also served five years as a freelance consultant on digital marketing in the
tourism industry.
While it has been customary that the three members of the AGTBID all represent
lodging businesses, the Resolution establishing the AGTBID indicates the following:

3. The City Council shall appoint the AGTBID Advisory Board, which shall consist
of a minimum of three (3) but not more than seven (7) members, 2/3rds of which
shall be owners of lodging businesses and/or appointed representatives of the
owners of lodging businesses from within the Arroyo Grande Tourism Business
Improvement District.
While Mr. Kastner is not an owner of a lodging business, his appointment would be
consistent with the 2/3rds requirement as the remaining two board members are lodging
business owners or appointed representatives of the lodging business owners. In
addition, Mr. Kastner's experience would make him an asset to the Advisory Board.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
• Appoint David Kastner to the AGTBID;
• Do not appoint David Kastner to the AGTBID and solicit interest from other
applicants; or
• Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Approval of the appointment will fill a vacancy and provide for a full AGTBID Advisory
Board.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages have been identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted in front of City Hall and on the City's website in accordance
with Government Code Section 54954.2.
