TRAVEL AND TRADE SHOW 1999 ATTENDANCE
WHEREAS, the Planning, Development and Tourism Department will be transporting promotional materials (i.e. large display booths, fish mounts, video equipment, boxes of county maps, fishing brochures, sample tour packages and visitor's guides) to various outdoor/travel trade shows throughout the eastern United States, and
WHEREAS, the county has already made booth space reservations for many of these shows, and

RESOLVED, that members of the Planning, Development & Tourism staff be, and hereby are, authorized to attend the attached outdoor/travel trade shows, together with such additional outdoor/travel trade shows as may be approved by the Commerce, Tourism & Agriculture and Finance Committees, and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Planning, Development and Tourism staff be allowed to exceed the county expense limit of $750 per trip as long as they stay within the 1999 budget figures for promotional travel and marketing for the attached shows and additional shows.
