Quilcene Fair & Parade Association Members of the Board Sharon Redmon To: President Jefferson County Administrator's Office PO Box 1220 Robert Hart �� Port Townsend,WA 98368 Vice President RE: Amendment request to the 2021 Quilcene Fair and Parade Linda Lindquist LTAC Grant Secretary Shonna Wilkerson Dear LTAC board, Treasurer On behalf of the Quilcene Fair and Parade Association (QFPA) I Miranda Shriver would like to request the LTAC board to consider our following Public Relations request, based on section 1, paragraph 2 of the agreement Bonnie McDaniel (included below.) Kristin Deverin We'd first like to acknowledge that The QFPA has experienced difficulties with obtaining our 2020 LTAC funds due to misunderstandings and miscommunication between BOCC/LTAC and QFPA. Due to these issues, the QFPA has not provided BOCC/LTAC the correct paperwork to obtain these funds. Our misunderstanding of the 2021 grant application led QFPA to have not properly applied for and requested additional funds for the upcoming 2021 Fair and Parade. The QFPA is requesting 6,000 dollars. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic The QFPA has discussed at length the need to have a robust online platform (website) so we may have a virtual presence. Having a virtual option would allow us to easily pivot from an intended in-person event to an online event if needed due to COVID rate increases. The website would allow us to host a variety of live P.O. Box 761 streaming events, take donations and payments, and update our Quilcene, WA 98376 registration forms to be COVID safe. It would eliminate our need to take paper registration and physical payments from our vendors, raffle/sponsors and still offer our community a safe and fun way to participate in the Quilcene Fair and Parade. To this end, The QFPA has partnered with the Production Alliance, a local organization, to provide us with a robust website, web hosting, live streaming and advertisement support and outreach. They have quoted QFPA a total of 5,000 dollars to complete this scope of work. As well as the website, The QFPA has also wanted to increase our durable goods in the form of Banners and pole hardware to add to our 2020 purchases of these goods for an additional 1,000 dollars. In the event that LTAC is unable to provide us these supplemental funds, the QFPA asks the LTAC board to allow us to substitute much of our Advertising budget laid out in our initial proposal to complete the scope of work listed above with the Production Alliance. Thank you for considering our proposal. Sincerely, Sharon Redmon QFPA President AGREEMENT FOR 2021 HOTEL-MOTEL FUNDING FOR TOURISM SERVICES QUILCENE FAIR&PARADE ASSOCIATION Section 1 paragraph 2 In recognition of the unavoidable disruption to tourism activities from the COVID-19 pandemic, QUILCENE FAIR may substitute other Promotion Services in 2021 in using the funding provided through this Agreement, upon prior presentation of an itemized list to the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) and affirmative vote by the LTAC recommending that QUILCENE FAIR proceed with the proposed substitution. In such case no amendment to this Agreement shall be required and QUILCENE FAIR may use the funding to perform the substitute Promotion Services in 2021.
