The Sonoma Tourism Improvement District (TID) is a benefit assessment district established to fund marketing and promotion efforts for Sonoma lodging businesses. The TID includes all lodging businesses (hotels, motels, inns, bed and breakfasts, and vacation rentals) located within the boundaries of the City of Sonoma. State law authorizing tourism improvement districts provides that a non-profit mutual benefit corporation may be formed to perform the activities (specifically including promotion of tourism ) within a district comprised of businesses that are assessed to pay for the cost of the activities of the TID. The City contracts with the Sonoma Tourism Improvement District Corporation (STIDC), a non-profit corporation, to implement that Management District Plan. STIDC is charged with managing the Sonoma Tourism Improvement District s day-to-day operations including determining budgets and monitoring service delivery. As established in the Management District Plan, the STIDC has contracted with the Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau for promotion and marketing programs to market Sonoma lodging businesses as overnight tourist, meeting and event destinations as well as providing support for visitor services. In accordance with the Plan, the Sonoma TID is required to present an annual report at the end of each fiscal year (no later than 2 calendar months after June 30) to the City Council pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Attached is a copy of the Sonoma TID s financials. The Sonoma TID representatives will present a summary report of their activities at the meeting for fiscal year At the end of their presentation, Council will be asked to accept the report. Recommended Council Action By motion, accept the 2016/2017 Annual Report. Alternative Actions Request additional financial information.

25 While Sonoma lodging property renovations and rainiest winter on record affected TOT and TID collections during the first 6-months of 2017, the lodging properties in Sonoma are confident that occupancy and ADR will remain constant and increase slightly during FY Given the current number of lodging properties and hotel rooms, ADR and Occupancy are close to critical mass, meaning exponential growth in TOT and TID funds are likely to plateau. The TID has budgeted in FY to assist in the funding of Sonoma Heritage and Community Events, which are defined as special community events that have been operating for more than 25-years, including: Native Sons Flag Day Celebration 4 th of July Parade & Fireworks Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival Mexican Independence Day (Cinco de Mayo) Lighting of the Historic Sonoma Plaza Additional grants will be offered to assist with the funding of other events, primarily in the off-season (November April) Work to attract mid-week, off-season group business (groups people) SVVB to continue marketing efforts to attract overnight visitors to Sonoma lodging properties.
