City staff will bring back recommendations to The Dalles City Council on how to structure a tourism advisory committee and marketing priorities.  Councilors held a second work session on tourism and the use of transient room taxes on Monday evening based on public input from a first session one month ago.  All of the Councilors present for the work session supported establishment of a tourism advisory committee.  Most of the Council expressed a preference for more The Dalles-specific marketing rather than the entire Gorge.  The City has a contract with The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce for tourism marketing that runs through 2019.  City Manager Julie Krueger says staff should have recommendations ready for either the Council’s second meeting in November or first meeting in December.
