Staff Report
California Welcome Center ATBID-City
Shared Sponsorship Opportunity
RECOMMENDATION:
ATBID Advisory Board review and provide staff direction on the 2024 California Welcome Center
shared sponsorship opportunity with the City.
DISCUSSION:
The California Welcome Center will be transitioning to the South County Chambers of
Commerce beginning July 1, 2024.
Visit SLO CAL will not be renewing the sponsorship of In-Market Tourism Marketing at the
California Welcome Center’s Pismo Beach location after June 30, 2024. Under Visit SLO CAL,
Atascadero was part of that sponsorship to promote ATBID lodging properties.
The City of Atascadero does have an opportunity to continue participating in the program. The
South County Chambers of Commerce is offering the opportunity to maintain in-market
exposure at the California Welcome Center – Pismo Beach.
There are 7 TV panel walls available for sponsorship at a rate of $600 per month. Visit SLO CAL
and the California Welcome Center is offering a discounted rate of $5,000 for a 12-month
commitment. This 12-month sponsorship includes quarterly statistical impression reporting,
distribution tracking for up to 2 rack cards, sharing of guestbook registration information, and
an opportunity to sell tourism merchandise.
Last year, the California Welcome Center – Pismo Beach made over 250,000 impressions,
averaging more than 700 per day. The Center is open daily, Sunday-Thursday from 10 AM to 7
PM, and Friday-Saturday from 10 AM to 8 PM. It offers free tourism information, vending, and
restrooms for travelers. To add a personal touch, the Welcome Center provides Guest
Concierge Services from 11 AM to 4 PM Sunday-Thursday, and 11 AM to 5 PM Friday-Saturday,
to offer recommendations and referrals to businesses and destinations countywide.
Atascadero would have control over the content for the video loop. The video loop can be
updated quarterly to ensure the message remains relevant and timely.

ATBID | 6/19/24 | Item B2 | Staff Report
Additionally, there is one Feature Wall available for sponsorship at $6,000 for 6 months or
$10,000 for 12 months. This prime standalone location is next to the entrance and can be
customized to meet branding needs. There is a selfie wall sponsorship, which includes an iPad
to direct visitors to the VisitAtascadero.com webpage.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Up to $10,000.

Staff Report
Budget Ad Hoc Committee Nominations for 2024-2025 Fiscal Year
RECOMMENDATION:
ATBID Advisory Board:
1. Nominate two Board Members to review the budget details for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
2. Provide staff direction on spending limits that does not require ATBID approval and set those
limits at $500, $1,000, or $2,000.
DISCUSSION:
In March 2023, the ATBID Advisory Board assigned a Budget Ad Hoc Committee that met with
City staff to review the detailed 2023-2025 budget worksheets for the two-year City budget cycle.
During this timeframe, the Advisory Board, along with public engagement, prepared a two-year
budget for the Atascadero Tourism Business Improvement District. As the City’s elected
governing board, the City Council makes the final decisions on adoption of the two-year budget.
The Advisory Board is now in year two of the two-year budget and aiming to form a Budget Ad
Hoc Committee again to review the first year in detail and look to the second year to take a
deeper review into what is happening with the budget and get a sense of how things are tracking
into year two.
The Budget Ad Hoc Committee will look to see where things can improve and look at spending
limits on items that do not need Advisory Board approval, like the ordering of marketing swag
items and smaller purchases that staff can proceed with ordering without formal Advisory Board
approval. The Budget Ad Hoc Committee will also look at the “Opportunities Fund” along with
how to invest the fund balance and what flexibility there is going forward should more budget
dollars be needed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
