Applications Sought for Tourism Council Vacancy

The Fremont County Board of Commissioners has yet another vacancy to fill on the Fremont County Tourism Council. Florence businessman Morrie Aves notified the Commissioners last week that he was resigning his seat on the tourism council for personal reasons. He had one remaining of his three year term.

The Commissioners are again soliciting letters of interest from Fremont County residents to fill the vacancy. The Tourism Council develops and administers a Tourism Marketing Plan utilizing proceeds from the Fremont County Lodging Tax. Employment or ownership in a tourism related business will be a determining factor in the appointment by the Commissioners. FCTC members are required to attend monthly meetings as well as any special meetings as voted upon by the council.

The Commissioners are currently in the process of completing interviews for three other seats on the Tourism Council which come up for their three year cycle of appointments on January 1st. Tourism Council Chairman Andy Neinas, who has served on the council since its inception, did not seek reappointment.

Letters of interest for the vacant seat should be addressed to the Fremont County Board of Commissioners, Room 105, Fremont County Administration Building, 615 Macon Avenue, Canon City, CO 81212. The deadline for letters is 3 p.m., Thursday, December 17th.
