The City of Blaine established the Blaine Tourism Advisory Committee to more effectively develop its tourism and recreation economy. BTAC is a seven member committee (5 voting and 2 non-voting members) which serves as an advisory committee to the Blaine City Council and has the following duties:
- To recommend to the City Council programs and projects that will further the development of the City’s tourism and recreation economy;
- To interface with the public and the business community in seeking input on matters relevant to tourism development;
- To evaluate funding requests for an annual Grant Program (BTAC Grant Application) derived from the hotel/motel fund, and to make recommendations to City Council for the funding of programs and events that are consistent with the requirements of RWC 67.28 as well as supporting the goals of the Blaine Tourism Marketing and Development Plan.
- Annually during development of the City Budget, BTAC will submit to the City Manager recommendations for the hotel/motel fund to be considered by the City Council.
BTAC generally meets once a month at 7:30 am in the Blaine City Hall Council Chambers. Please check the city's online event schedule or home page for the next meeting date. The public is welcome to attend the meetings. All meetings are held in compliance with the Open Public Meeting Law.
