PUBLIC COMMENT

Public Comment was made by Megan Miro from the Westin Chicago Lombard hotel regarding

funding for the DCVB Grant Program.

CHAIRWOMAN'S REMARKS - CHAIR GARCIA

No remarks were offered.

PRESENTATIONS

5.A. DCVB Presentation

Beth Marchetti, DuPage Convention & Visitors Bureau Executive Director, provided the

Committee with a brief overview of the DVCB's 2023 financial impact. Hotel occupancy rates

are still down when comparing data from 2019-2024. Hotel focus groups met early this year to

discuss ongoing challenges. The County loses hotel business to Rosemont and Indianapolis due

to the incentive programs offered in those areas. Ms. Marchetti reviewed the process for hotels to

apply for the Tourism Grant Program, and stated this Program is risk-free due to it being

reimbursement only.

5.B. GIS Fee Presentation

Anthony McPhearson, Chief Information Officer, provided the Committee a brief background on

the GIS department, the agencies and departments supported by the department, and the services

offered by the department. Funding for the department is directly provided by the GIS Recording

Fee. The County's current recording fee is $21.00 per transaction. While the State sets the fee, the

County may assess that fee to determine if any modifications are needed. Due to a 59% decrease

in recordings from 2021 to 2024, the GIS department has become significantly under-funded.

Staff's original recommendation was to increase the fee to $28.00 per transaction. Discussion

took place as to whether or not that increase would be enough to have the department's costs

break even. Committee members provided consensus to increase the fee to $30.00 per

transaction. GIS staff will review that suggestion and report their findings back in two weeks.
