1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Town Council Joint Meeting with Mammoth Lakes Tourism to Discuss Planning Goals and Funding for Fiscal Year 22-23 Marketing Plan.
Meeting Date: January 26, 2022
Prepared by: Rob Patterson, Administrative Services / Finance Director RECOMMENDATION:
Presentation and discussion of Town Council recommendations for marketing focus and funding for Mammoth Lakes Tourism (MLT) for FY22-23.
BACKGROUND:
The contract with Mammoth Lakes Tourism (MLT) adopted on July 1, 2019, included a number of sections to ensure a proper level of engagement was achieved between MLT and Town Council. The sections included a general service agreement containing the general provisions and legal language required for the contract and the following exhibits:
Exhibit A - Scope of Services - This section is intended to define overarching areas of focus (Access & Transportation, Brand & Community, Experience and Attractions, In Market Communication – Business to Community, In Market Engagement – business to business, and administration of TBID and Events.
Exhibit B – MLT Deliverables – This section was to be updated annually based on strategic planning between MLT Board and Town Council. Each of the goals planned for the fiscal year will tie directly to the Scope of Services outlined in Exhibit “A”. All goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely to serve as a true measure of success.
Exhibit C – Compensation – This section will be updated annually based on the Town budget, approved Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue and any adjustments to allocation or reserve rates approved by Town Council. The Town of Mammoth Lakes will provide updated Exhibit C by May 1 of each year.
Exhibit D – Annual Planning Calendar – This section established the cadence and timing for MLT presentation to Town Council either to provide updates on progress or initiate discussion on deliverables noted in exhibit B as part of annual planning While this structure was designed to provide the appropriate level of discussion in advance of planning, some adjustments in timing are necessary to provide Town Council with the opportunity to give focus points to MLT in the development of the strategic work plan and deliverables to Town Council. The plans developed for FY21-22 suffered from this timing
2 challenge and members of Town Council did not feel they had adequate input into the work plans developed by MLT.
The funding for MLT historically has been different than other Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) that contract with the Town. Most agencies, Mammoth Lakes Housing, Mammoth Lakes Recreation, Eastern Sierra Transit Authority, and the Chamber receive a specific funding based on the contract deliverables or number of hours of operation. MLT receives the full allocation of Measure A, based on the Town’s budget for Transient Occupancy Tax. This makes the funding variable and inconsistent with typical contract practices of paying for assigned tasks and deliverables. Staff is seeking to modify this practice for FY22-23 by establishing a contract price for the requests being made of MLT. This approach will not impact the overall allocation to Tourism, Housing or Transit, but simply the amounts paid to MLT per their contract.
ANALYSIS:
This discussion on focus items is intended to allow Town Council to discuss general areas they believe need to be addressed through our marketing efforts. It is designed to provide high level areas of focus to be discussed with MLT. MLT will utilize these focus points as a guide in the development of its marketing plan and contract deliverables. While the methods, tactics, and strategies are the expertise of MLT, they should address concerns stated by Town Council during this process.
Town Council met on 1/19 to finalize the list of focus items for discussion with MLT. Staff adjusted the list based on feedback received during that discussion. This includes an overarching theme to direct the efforts of MLT to achieve the long-range goals for the community. The focus points are written at the appropriate level, both in scope and achievability. The points under each section are intended to provide clarity of the intent, not specific work items.
Overarching Goals
1. To achieve a sustainable destination with natural resources to be enjoyed by current and future generations.
2. To achieve sustainable economic growth to support public investments to address defined needs and enhance the community’s quality of life.
Focus Items
1. Education (Visitor and Resident)
a. Mitigate Community and Environmental Impacts from visitation b. Continue to Promote Responsible Travel and Stewardship c. Awareness of Diversity of Experiences, Walk Bike Ride, Host Program
2. Re-energize Destination Visitation
a. Consider our attractions and resources beyond Mammoth Lakes. Regional promotion of attractions to appeal to a broader audience of visitation and lift economic outlook for the region.
3 b. Target shoulder seasons of spring and fall to sustain business and workforce c. Extended Stays – 3+ nights or more, mid-week to enhance carrying capacity, level out peaks and valleys.
d. Maintain appropriate level of brand marketing in Southern California and promotion of Charter Air Service to MMH.
e. Expand marketing outside our region where strong air service connections exist through commercial flights.
3. Local Community Market Focus
a. Reflecting community values in our intended visitor experience. b. Buy local campaigns, including MLT purchases when appropriate, promotion of local businesses for visitor services.
c. Strengthen and promote local business relationships, coordination to enhance visitor experience at the local and regional level. d. Assist to define (where and what) local infrastructure enhancements are needed to have the largest positive impact on visitor experience. e. Engage with peer network (resort communities) to review how similar challenges and community impacts are being addressed by other communities.
f. Promote local events, enhance, and expand events and development of event venue(s).
4. Develop success measurements (alongside of traditional marketing measures) a. Guest Surveys – Visitor satisfaction surveys
b. Business Surveys – Increase in operating revenues
c. Resident Surveys – mitigating visitation impacts, improve quality of life indicators
The list above is not exhaustive of all possibilities of focus. This list does build on the evolution of prior campaigns with an emphasis on improving the visitor and community experience. In some cases, the request may seem to be outside the purview of MLT but bridges a gap that exists between the community and the Town’s marketing arm, MLT.
Funding recommendation
As previously stated, staff is seeking to standardize the Town’s approach to funding our contracts with its NGO’s. This would include recommending a set dollar amount for the focus items listed above in FY22-23. Staff would like to make the financial commitment longer term but the contract with MLT expires on June 30, 2023, making this a one-year plan. This approach would set the stage for the next contract where the funding strategy is not connected to the Town’s budget process but more the expected and contracted effort by MLT.
The last two fiscal years had significant challenges with COVID-19 impacting our visitation. In those years, the existing funding strategy provided MLT with a low of
4 $1,750,000 and a high of $2,335,000 to marketing, based on the calculation against TOT budget. Staff is recommending $2,000,000 be allocated to MLT’s contract for FY 22-23.
This amount is less than the prior year and greater than the initial COVID year, which will require MLT to adjust its approach and fine tune marketing spend to increase efficiency to function within those limits as their plans are developed. Arguments against this approach have been made but in staff opinion, remaining with the status quo of previous funding structure, will fail to meet the expectations of some Council and community members. The proposed shift in funding allocation method is a compromise between competing interests, while serving to define funding limits and expectations, within the funding provided. The Town still expects accountability to achieve goals outlined in the contract which may be changing each year, based on desired Town Council focus, economic indicators, and visitation. All of which will have an impact on the amount of funding the Town is willing to spend on marketing.
The allocation discussed above certainly will not be the only funds available to MLT for marketing purposes. MLT still retains Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) funding (less a 2% collection fee retained by the Town), budgeted at $4.8M for FY21-22.
TBID funds are managed by the MLT Board within the restrictions required by TBID law.
The funds are used to support MLT initiatives as outlined above plus other directed investment to the benefit of businesses that pay TBID assessments.
This adjustment in funding strategy would also have no impact on our TOT allocation to Tourism, Housing and Transit. Those rates will remain at 2.35 points (18.08%), .85 points (6.54%), and .85 points (6.54%) respectfully. All TOT collected, budgeted and excess, would contribute to those reserves at the rates listed above, accumulating for allocation at Town Council direction. In the past Town Council has allocated funds from each of these reserves, most recently, for housing projects. In FY20-21 both MLT and Town council recommended use of the Tourism reserve funds for housing projects, ultimately funding $1.9M from tourism reserves in FY21-22. This process and collaboration have been instrumental in furthering these important projects for our community. These reserve funds would also remain available to MLT for marketing if significant circumstances arose requiring immediate adjustment to the marketing plan or additional marketing efforts. This process would include a presentation to Town Council, defining circumstances requiring this additional marketing effort and cost of the campaign.
CONCLUSION:
The approach of this staff report and agenda item is intended to solve problems that existed in our current meeting schedule that did not allow for adequate input into MLT strategic planning for the coming fiscal year. This discussion is intended to allow Town Council to focus on the objectives it wants to accomplish in FY22-23 from a marketing perspective as well as discuss the critical adjustments to funding strategy.

Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Resolution approving an application for the FY 21 ARPA Travel, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation funding opportunity.
Council Meeting Date: 1/26/2022
Prepared by: Sandra Moberly, Community and Economic Development Director Recommended Motion: Staff recommends that the Town Council adopt a resolution authorizing Town staff to submit an application for the FY 21 ARPA Travel, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation funding opportunity.
Summary: The federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) has established a $240 million competitive grant program to help communities that have been hardest hit by challenges facing the travel, tourism, and outdoor recreation sectors to invest in infrastructure, workforce, or other projects to support the recovery of the industry and economic resilience of the community in the future. The program can fund a variety of projects that support the development of travel, tourism, and outdoor recreation pandemic recovery strategies and the implementation of recovery projects, including in communities adjacent to National Park Service units, State Parks, National Marine Sanctuaries, and other natural destinations. Some examples of eligible projects include visitor serving amenities, outdoor recreation and trail infrastructure, cultural and tourism facilities, and workforce training facilities. The mandatory requirement is that all projects funded through this grant must support the travel, tourism, and outdoor recreation sectors and be consistent with CDC guidelines for safe travel. Another requirement of this funding source is that any projects funded as a part of this program must be part of the region’s current Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) or an equivalent EDA-accepted regional economic development strategy meeting EDA’s CEDS or strategy requirements. The recently updated Destination Resort Community Economic Development Strategy (DRCEDS) meets the EDA requirements and allows the Town to apply for this competitive funding.
Staff has met with EDA staff to review a number of potential projects to determine the projects that would be most competitive for funding and the EDA staff recommended that visitor-serving facilities in the North Village would be most competitive. The EDA funding prioritizes construction projects and staff has reviewed the potential construction projects in the North Village that meet the grant requirements and has determined that a second phase of the municipal parking lot in the North Village would meet the grant requirements and would be competitive due to the fact that well-developed plans exist for the project. Staff recommends that the Town Council direct staff to apply for grant funding for additional parking in the North Village.
The EDA grant requires 20 percent matching funds which would be up to $200,000 for a project which will be $947,040. The draft Town Council resolution includes language that commits the Town to funding the 20 percent match for the project.
If directed by Council staff will submit this grant application by the first rolling deadline of January 31, 2022.

Agenda Action Sheet
1 Title: Discuss a potential joint Project Homekey grant application with Mammoth Lakes Housing, Inc.
Council Meeting Date: 1/26/2022
Prepared by: Nolan Bobroff, Senior Planner / Housing Coordinator Recommended Motion: Discuss the potential grant application and adopt the resolution authorizing the joint application and authorize the Town Manager to sign the Local Match Commitment letter committing up to $1,000,000 in funding towards the project, or in an amount otherwise agreed upon by the Town Council.
Summary: The Homekey Program is a State housing financial assistance program that is intended to rapidly expand the inventory of housing for people who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness and who are, thereby, inherently impacted by or at increased risk for medical diseases or conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic or other communicable diseases. Homekey is an opportunity for state, regional, and local public entities to develop a broad range of housing types, including but not limited to hotels, motels, hostels, single-family homes and multifamily apartments, adult residential facilities, and manufactured housing, and to convert commercial properties and other existing buildings to Permanent or Interim Housing for the Target Population.
The State released the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Homekey Round 2 in September 2021 and will be accepting applications on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted or May 2022, whichever comes first. The priority deadline, to compete in regional set-asides, is January 31, 2022.
The proposed joint application with Mammoth Lakes Housing, Inc. (MLH) is looking to leverage the Homekey funds to purchase and renovate an existing developed property at 913 Forest Trail.
If successful in the grant application, the property would be converted to 15 - 17 studio / 1-bedroom units. The majority of the renovation work will be interior renovations to convert the existing structure to residential apartment units (i.e., kitchens, bathrooms, etc.) and only minor exterior upgrades are being proposed (e.g., convert the spa area to a locker and laundry room). The target population will be one- and two-person households whose income does not exceed 80% of the area median income (AMI) and who are currently experiencing homelessness or are at-risk of homelessness due to the lack of safe, available affordable housing. This group is considered to be the “working homeless population” that does not fit within the traditional HCD definition of homeless, which is generally considered to be households whose income is at or below 30% AMI.
Due to the advocacy efforts of MLH and the Town, the State has indicated that this is an eligible use of the funds and that the 30% AMI threshold is not a strict requirement.
The estimated total project cost for the project is $6.1M which includes acquisition of the property and renovation costs. The following sources of funding have been preliminarily committed to the project:
2 State Funds1
- Project Homekey Base Award: $2,700,000 (State Capital Award per Existing Door of $150,000 x 18 existing doors)
- Project Homekey Bonuses: $280,000 (Bonus for applying prior to 1/31/2022; Bonus for committing to occupancy within 8 months of award)
- State Match of Local Funds: $1,300,000 (1:1 dollar match of local funds, up to $100,000 per proposed door [15 doors])
Local Funds
- Town of Mammoth Lakes Commitment: $750,000 (plus a temporary loan of $325,000 to IMACA)*
- Mono County Commitment: Up to $550,000 (Committed by the Board of Supervisors meeting at the 1/18/2022 meeting)
- IMACA / Continuum of Care (CoC): $325,000 (ESG-CV Grant Funding)* - Mono County Social Services: $200,000
TOTAL PRELIMINARILY COMMITTED: $6.1M
* The Town has been asked to advance IMACA the $325,000 prior to the reimbursement by the State of the ESG-CV grant. The $325,000 combined with the Town’s commitment of $750,000 will come from the $1M that is being committed to the project.
The Town has identified the $1.5M in funding allocated to the Private/Public Partnership housing program as a potential source of funds to draw from for this project.
The anticipated timeline for the project is:
Submit the application by January 31, 2022 (priority application period ends) Awards are expected to be announced in mid-March
Expenditure deadline is 12-months from the execution of the Standard Agreement Construction commences when the agreement is executed Occupancy – Fall 2022
Recommendation: Staff’s recommendation is to authorize moving forward with the joint application and to allocate up to $1M towards the project, subject to MLH and the Town being successful in the Homekey grant application and the review by staff of the Phase 1 environmental report, inspection report, and appraisal report to ensure there are no major issues with the structure and/or site. Should the grant not be awarded or should any of those reports identify any unexpected major issues or problems with the structure and/or site, the Town reserves the right to not allocate the funds towards the project.
ATTACHMENTS
1. Project PowerPoint Slides
2. Resolution
1 The need from the State is $4.2M (not including the bonus amount); however, the State recommends identifying an authorized dollar amount in the Resolution that is at least double the anticipated award to allow for changes to the award amount and to avoid having to execute a new resolution. Therefore, the Resolution authorizing the submittal of the application to the State requests an amount not to exceed $8.4M from the State.
