  • ACTION REQUESTED on Tuesday, May 30, 2017, the Delaware Joint Finance Committee
    Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center P. O. Box 216 *501 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971 - 302-227-2233 *800-441-1329 *Hotline 302-227-6446 *Fax 302-227-8351 - [email protected] *www.beach-fun.com TIME SENSITIVE – ACTION REQUESTED On Tuesday, May 30, 2017, the Delaware Joint Finance Committee (JFC) voted to eliminate the current 1% allocated funding to all State Convention & Visitor Bureaus (CVB’s), which is currently a portion of the 8% lodging tax collected by hotels and motels Statewide. This would also terminate the portion of the same 1% which is currently distributed to all Chambers of Commerce in Sussex County. The allocation to Chambers in Sussex is tied to stringent requirements with regard to marketing expenditures and recorded proof of return on investment. On Wednesday, May 31, 2017, the Rehoboth Beach Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce (RBDBCC) Legislative Representative, Mark Lally, as well as several of our tourism partners and Carol Everhart, met at Legislative Hall in the hope that there would be an opportunity to address the JFC. The operating procedure in place did not allow that opportunity. Below you will find a list of the current JFC members. We are seeking your assistance in personally contacting members of the JFC and/or your legislators by phone or in person to seek their support. We did not provide e-mails, as legislators are more receptive to personal contact. If 7 of the 12 member JFC vote in favor, the 1% could be placed back into the budget. The loss of this allocated revenue would, at a minimum, deplete or severely cut the marketing ability for Sussex Chambers, and in some cases, could put them out of business.
