The Fremont County Board of Commissioners is soliciting letters of interest from Fremont County residents for the annual appointment to fill two positions on the Fremont County Tourism Council. The Tourism Council develops and administers a Tourism Marketing Plan for Fremont County utilizing the proceeds from the Fremont County Lodging Tax.
The positions are for three-year terms beginning Jan. 1, 2012. Those two seats currently are held by Dorothy Day of the Royal Gorge Bridge Company and Larry Oddo of the Winery at the Abbey. Both are eligible for reappointment.
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. Periodic attendance at other community meetings pertaining to tourism issues may also be necessary. These positions involve voluntary service with no compensation.
Letters of interest should be addressed to the Fremont County Board of Commissioners, Room 105, Fremont County Administration Building, 615 Macon Avenue, Cañon City, CO 81212. The deadline for letters is 4 p.m., Wednesday, November 30th.
