Spending by Medium (PP). Creative Brief – (handout). Sales – Donna Horii. Events – John: Kingdom Days looking at ways to expand. Actions: research/RRC, usapro coop/tie-ins and Breck only ad for our show. Bruce requested that BMAC also view the creative for a second set of eyes and insights/observations. Dick Sosville remarked that great progress was made during the last meeting in defining the roles of BMAC and BRC (Board and Marketing Committee); concerned with too many layers and triplicate work for staff. John has revised the roles handout and will review with Marketing Committee before presenting to BMAC.

2. Spring Fever Marketing Update – Kieran: additional funding last year is now a permanent part of his budget; excited to see how the community worked together and used the logo, messaging, etc.; 40 events in 30 days, March 17 thru Apr. 15 (PDF follows); St. Patrick’s Day event/celebration discussion – John to pull together a group to investigate, possibly in LaCima lot; Dick C is concerned with using seed/reserve money in a relatively busy time, Mike D voiced his concern that the funds in ToB are to be used for rainy day and is opposed to dipping into this fund, Mark B clarified that this was an opportunity the ski area was promoting and is reaching to the community to participate.

3. Events Update – Sandy: Breck 50th Birthday Bash was successful and looking to do a continuing event Breck Bash; Ullr – next year is 50 so looking to do a coronation ball, Ullympics at RW lawn was great, Bonfire went relatively well, is there a way to generate revenue?; ISSC additional sponsor (Cadillac) helped replace fencing, Summit Express providing ground transportation (saved $9,200) and Mountain Lighting in a cash/in-kind agreement, 15 teams representing 10 countries.

4. Lodging Survey Update – John: GM roundtable slated for March 8 at Beaver Run, John requested a few BMAC members to attend to support the messaging for the purpose of this survey; BRC to present this concept to see what sort of buy-in to the survey model there is in the lodging community; TC wants to determine if Breck is at a competitive disadvantage in accommodations offerings as an economic impact so the request was made for this survey to provide factual information to determine if there is a need.

5. BCR Financial Update – Bill: ended 2011 $15k to the good in revenues; Mike reiterated that the purpose for the annual financial reports is to continue to review annually; discussion was tabled.

5. Ski Area & Dew Tour Updates – Kieran Cain, BSR: Dew Tour event takeaways (PDF follows), 7.5 hours TV coverage. Future – Dew Tour changing format to one major summer, one winter, & one urban event starting with summer 2012, they’d like to announce early Feb., concept is to do less events and put more $ into one event, and Pepsi would like to be main focus without other sponsors; NBC bought out Allied Sports; looking at Dec. 10 – 16; what he needs: BSR needs to double their on-mountain operations budget, lodging is the biggest need, 160 comp nites/property (500 total) at a max. this past year, partners (BRR, RQ, etc.) are questioning their ROI; two options: spread out equally to all lodging properties or financially supplement the three properties; Mike D remarked that this event is an infomercial for all of Breck and doesn’t return directly, however, during this time frame what would be occupancy levels if the event wasn’t in town, what do the lodging properties need to make this worth their while. Kieran asked for a ‘nod’ to say to Dew Tour that we want it back or not. Mike estimated 750 rooms at $100/nite. Peyton – they were approached and they have to go to the homeowners to ask for a free room, when they already have high occupancy probably due to Dew Tour. Dick C: similar to USAPRO and its pretty important to our community and moves that we give the support to Kieran and we’ll work out the financial details. John C: NBC Sports is rivaling ESPN and this tour is their X-Games; very supportive. Dick S asked for a consensus of BMAC for support – including financially for the lodging – all head nod and all would like to approach it from two approaches of including more lodging companies and providing financial support for the lodging companies. Mike will go back and review the BRC budget to figure out where the funding will come out of.

6. Next Meeting: Feb. 20, 2012 (Prez Day/SSD off) – changed to Feb. 13 from 1 – 4 pm / 2 – 4 p.m. at Police Stn. Conf. room (Kim to determine meeting room); John Mc and Dick S to put together the agenda.

7. Misc: Bruce H & John Mc attended TIAC meeting; john suggested working with Runyon for research, perhaps a tie-in with CTO. Bruce went to the legislative day at the Capitol and with the redistricting, urged us all to be aware of the support the candidates give to tourism. Bruce – went to dinner with Icelandic Air last night and they are a feeder to Europe and wants to make sure Breck is represented.

FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM

TO: TIM GAGEN, TOWN MANAGER FROM: CLERK AND FINANCE DIVISION SUBJECT: DECEMBER NET TAXABLE SALES & RETT REPORTING DATE: 2/8/2012

This memo explains significant items of note in relation to sales that occurred within the Town of Breckenridge in the month of November. Real Estate Transfer Tax, including an analysis of the monthly “churn” and sales by property type, is also included.

New Items of Note:

Net Taxable Sales • Overall, Net Taxable sales for December were up 10.2% over 2011 (up 6.7% for the year). While this may sound impressive, do note that the year-end total did fall short of the 2006 total. • Every category tracked ahead of prior year. • Short-Term Lodging, for the month, had the best December on record. However, for the year, we fell between 2006 & 2007 #s. • Grocery/Liquor, for the month, fell between 2006 & 2007 #s. We did finish ahead of 2007#s for the year- end total. • 2011 was the best year on record for Restaurants/Bars. Real Estate Transfer Tax

• Total January collections fell behind prior year by 69.6%. However, it is notable that in 2010 & 2011 that we received revenue for a new phase of Grand Lodge on Peak 7. The next phase of the Grand Lodge project will not close until December 2012. • The month did still fall behind budget by 23.9%., which was not affected by the prior year’s Grand Lodge closings. • We also fell behind PY churn for the month by 22.6%. • Sales of vacant land and townhomes were up vs. prior year. • While condos are not up vs. prior, they did comprise the majority of the sales for the month. Continuing Items of Note:

• Net Taxable Sales are reported in the first Council meeting following the due date of the tax remittance to the Town of Breckenridge. Taxes collected from the customer by the vendor are remitted to the Town on the 20th of the following month. • Quarterly taxes are reported in the last month of the period. For example, taxes collected in the first quarter of the year (January – March), are include on the report for the period of March. • Net Taxable Sales are continually updated as late tax returns are submitted to the Town of Breckenridge. Therefore, you may notice slight changes in prior months, in addition to the reporting for the current month.

• 2012 Real Estate Transfer Tax budget is based upon the monthly distribution for 2007. The reasoning is that we should compare to a year with a “normal distribution.”

Breckenridge Resort Chamber Executive Summary Report January 2012 Reports Monday, March 12, 2012

From the President

The GM Roundtable will be held Thursday, March 8th, at Beaver Run Resort. The response so far has been positive and we anticipate a good attendance. The presentation will include updates in Lodging from Breckenridge Central Reservations, Spring/Summer from BRC Marketing, Spring update from Breckenridge Ski Resort, and buy into the Lodging Survey discussed at BMAC.

The new BRC Marketing Committee had their first meeting on February 7th and is in full swing working with staff. Roles and responsibilities along with protocol were discussed and agreed upon at this first meeting. The Summer 2012 Marketing Plan was approved, and will be submitted as the Marketing Committee recommendation to BRC Board and BMAC. Marketing Committee Meetings are scheduled for the first Tuesday of each month.

As of January 31, 2012, revenue numbers indicated BCR is at 90% of the January overall target budget and at 95% of Lodging revenue. As of February 29th, 2012, preliminary revenue numbers indicate BCR is at 54% of the February overall target budget to date and 54% of Lodging revenue. The BRC/BCR finance committee is meeting March 9 to discuss BCR 2012 budget forecast.

The Group Sales numbers for January started out strong with leads pacing 344% above budget.

PR consumer impressions in January tracked 358% above budget, attributing to ISSC and the major coverage generated nationally and internationally.

ISSC was a tremendous success with15 teams/10 teams participating. Cadillac and Summit Express were added as sponsors for the 2012 event, and we already have strong commitments for next year.

Mardi Gras continued the event activity with the Bacchus Ball increasing from 150 in 2011 to over 220 in 2012. The Mardi Gras parade hosted 11 floats and was a good success. We see this event enhancing its presence yearly.

Currenty, BRC special events is working with the Breckenridge Ski Resort to capture spring events/promotions from individual retail and restaurants in an effort to show town animation for Spring Fever. Additionally, efforts are being made to “seed” a fall event.
