SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
EVACUATION ORDER
The California Mid-State Fair, along with all other large venue public gathering places and events around the country have been advised by Federal, State and
Local Authorities that an emergency evacuation of the premises may be ordered by any of these auth orities at any time. This decision would be driven by
information available to those authorities that:
(1) May not be available to the California Mid-State Fair, or may be classified by those authorities, and therefore the California Mid-State Fair would
not be able to share it with our exhibitors, contractors, participants, guests, or renters;
(2) Could arise out of an actual or threatened act of terrorism;
(3) Could arise from any number of natural disasters, or other public safety concerns the authorities have for the safety of the general public at our Fair
or at our facility, property, grounds, or parking areas.
If an evacuation order occurs, you will be asked to leave the premises immediately. The law does not only require your cooperation, but for your own safety and
the safety of others, common sense demands your full cooperation. The Paso Robles Police Department and/or Fair staff/security personnel will direct the
evacuation. We are further advised that any evacuation order given will be for personnel only! No other property, animals, trailers, merchandise, equipment, etc.
will be allowed off the premises. This is to allow the most efficient and speedy evacuation of the public from the threatened area. If an evacuation order is given,
do not attempt to remove anything other than yourselves and, if applicable, your immediate means of transportation.
The evacuation plan calls for designated law enforcement personnel, California Mid-State Fair management, staff, or volunteers to remain on the grounds to
secure the facility and premises.
In the unlikely case an evacuation occurs, the California Mid-State Fair will exercise every reasonable effort to care for property, animals, commercial exhibits,
merchandise, etc. until the authorities remove the evacuation order and the public is allowed back into the facility. No one will be allowed back on the grounds
until the authorities have given the approval to return. The California Mid-State Fair staff/security personnel along with the Paso Robles Police Department will
enforce the order in strict accordance with instructions from the authorities.
The State of California, Sixteenth District Agricultural Association, California Mid-State Fair, its directors, officers, agents, servants, nor employees cannot, and
will not, be held liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Contractor’s, exhibitor’s, or patron’s personal property, equipment, merchandise, animals,
exhibits, etc. during or after any such event.
By entering into this agreement Contractor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless the State of California, Sixteenth District Agricultural
Association, California Mid-State Fair, its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims and losses accruing or resulting to any and all contractors,
subcontractors, suppliers, laborers, participant, exhibitor, and any other person, firm or corporation attending, or participating in, any activity or event covered
under this agreement and from any and all claims and losses accruing or resulting to any person, firm or corporation who may be injured or damaged in the
performance of this Agreement.
RIGHT TO TERMINATE
The State reserves the right to terminate this agreement subject to 30 days’ written notice to the Contractor. Contractor may submit a written request to terminate
this agreement only if the State should substantially fail to perform its responsibilities as provided herein.
However, the agreement can be immediately terminated for cause. The term “for cause” shall mean that the Contractor fails to meet the terms, conditions, and/or
responsibilities of the contract. In this instance, the contract termination shall be effective as of the date indicated on the State’s notification to the Contractor.
This agreement may be suspended or cancelled without notice, at the option of the Contractor, if the Contractor or State’s premises or equipment are destroyed by
fire or other catastrophe, or so substantially damaged that it is impractical to continue service, or in the event the Contractor is unable to render service as a result
of any action by any governmental authority.
FORCE MAJEURE
Neither party shall be liable to the other for any delay in or failure of performance, nor shall any such delay in or failure of performance constitute default, if such
delay or failure is caused by “Force Majeure.” As used in this section, “Force Majeure” is defined as follows: Acts of war and acts of god such as earthquakes,
floods, and other natural disasters such that performance is impossible.

Staff Report
COVID-19 Strategic Plan for Recovery
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the COVID-19 Strategic Plan for Recovery.
DISCUSSION:
On March 19, 2020, the Governor of California announced a statewide shelter in place to
limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The tourism industry has already seen dramatic
impacts and anticipates many more months of concerning numbers because of the
outbreak.
In order to plan for recovery and limit the negative impact made, Visit SLO CAL and Visit
Atascadero staff are working with lodging partners to begin strategically planning for the
recovery from this situation.
Following the guidance of Visit SLO CAL and considering feedback from the survey sent
to the ATBID Board and lodging partners, the staff has provided a COVID-19 Strategic
Plan for Recovery.
FISCAL IMPACT:
TBD.

Staff Report
Event Tiers and Sponsorship Application Revision
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and provide staff direction on the revised event tiers and sponsorship
application.
DISCUSSION:
The Event Sponsorship Tiers were established in 2016 to help guide event sponsorship
support discussions. The ATBID board uses the tiers to evaluate events against current
Visit Atascadero goals and strategies. The Visit Atascadero Event Sponsorship
Program has grown since its inception to support numerous events hosted in
Atascadero. The Event Sponsorship Tiers system has been revised due to the
increased interest in the Event Sponsorship Program to ensure Visit Atascadero
continues to strategically host mutually-beneficial events.
During the March 2, 2020 Special Meeting, the revised Event Sponsorship Tiers and
Application were presented and the Board provided feedback for edits. The attached
revised Event Tiers and Sponsorship Application reflect that feedback.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

The Atascadero Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) was established to promote
Atascadero as an overnight destination. The mission of the Atascadero TBID is to
encourage visitors to discover what makes Atascadero a simply genuine travel destination
resulting in increased revenue for the local community.
We appreciate the efforts of community partners to design events that attract visitors to
Atascadero and would like to offer our support of those events that align themselves with
the Visit Atascadero mission. A portion of the TBID annual budget and regular marketing
efforts are set aside each year to help maximize the effect of these efforts. If you would like
to be considered for support, please complete the following application. The application
must be received at least 6 months in advance of the funding deadline to request
support from the Atascadero TBID. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide assistance
for all events, but please know each request will be considered thoroughly.
Our Mission: Encourage overnight travel to experience Atascadero’s beautiful and
authentic outdoor recreation, culinary adventures, and welcoming hospitality.
In order to qualify for event sponsorship, your organization must meet the following
requirements or provide a three-year plan detailing how you will ultimately meet these
requirements:

2.Attract visitors from outside San Luis Obispo County
3.Encourage overnight stays of one night or more
4.Obtain the necessary ABC permits, law enforcement approval, city permits, safety
guidelines, and any additional documents needed for the event
5.Provide a detailed event budget and marketing plan
6.Provide post-event metrics which show positive effect on Atascadero tourism
In addition to these requirements, ATBID Board will consider the following factors:
1.Does event support Visit Atascadero objectives?
2.Will event be held during off-season (January – March)?
3.Is event new or existing? If existing, how was previously awarded money spent?
4.What is the three-year growth plan for the event?
5.Is there statistical data on the demographic status of your attendees or targeted
attendees?
6.Can the organization prove complete fiduciary responsibility of all event expenses?
7.Do your event organizers and attendees garner influence and have the ability to
promote Atascadero tourism?
Please submit application and all additional documents by email to Hanna Meisinger
at hmeis@bigredmktg.com in PDF format. You will receive a confirmation that we have
received the application. Typically, we ask that event planners attend a Board Meeting to
present their event to the Board which provides an opportunity to ask questions. Atascadero
TBID Board Meetings are regularly scheduled for the third Wednesday of the month at 2:30

Monthly Marketing Statistics Summary
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file Marketing Statistics Report.
DISCUSSION:
Due to the COVID-19 executive order by the State of California and the guidance of our
tourism partners and team, Verdin paused all paid media effective March 13, 2020.
Verdin continued content development and implementation for social media and pivoted
messaging to focus on supporting local businesses.
We did see a decrease in overall traffic due to the pause in paid media and the reduced
budget compared to the last fiscal year. Last month we did not spend any budget on
paid media due to COVID-19. We will continue to monitor this as all marketing is on-
hold until it is safe for visitors to travel once again.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
