Economic Development Funding- Ms. Marvaiz inquired how much notice the Greater San Marcos Chamber of Commerce and the San Marcos Hispanic Chamber of Commerce would need if the Council decided to go out for competitive bids. Phil Neighbors, President of the Greater San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, stated the Chamber would need two or three months notice. Yolanda Quintanilla stated they would also need two or three months notice. Ms. Narvaiz asked Council to consider implementing performance measures for both Greater Chamber of Commerce and the San Marcos Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. She also stated she would like to see the contracts for both Chambers of Commerce to be equal in terms of having separate boards for Economic Development and Tourism. Mr. Montoya stated he feels separate boards for the San Marcos Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is not necessary at this time. He stated he would not support this request at this time. Mr. Taylor stated he is not in favor of separate boards because the San Marcos Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has a smaller budget. Ms. Narvaiz stated since the Council has representation on the San Marcos Hispanic Chamber, she feels this means the Council is serving as part of the Board of Directors. She stated she does not agree with this. Mr. Mihalkanin asked Council to look at the Greater Chamber of Commerce Board representation distribution and modify the San Marcos Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Board to be like their Board. Council asked Staff to bring back the EDC Funding discussion at a meeting in August. C.
