The newest museum - LA Sports Hall of Fame Museum in Northwest LA opened without the state providing any funds to operate it out of the general fund. We had to shift funds from our tourism budget to our operating budget to fund the museum or the doors would have shut. The same thing happened with Office of Culture Development with the Arts grants. We have made a policy decision to fund these programs out of the Tourism Budget also. We have no new pass throughts added to this year’s budget that funding was not provided for. NOLA Motorsports Park for Indy Car was reflected as a pass through, however it is funded by Economic Development for 4M. Even though it is reflected as a pass through it is replaced with money from the marketing fund and st …

LOUISIANA TOURISM PROMOTION DISTRICT October 8, 2012 MINUTES Members Present: Harrison Smith, Chairman Elizabeth McDougall Toni Rice Bruce Attinger Chairman Harrison Smith with the LTPD called the meeting to order at 11:40 AM. After roll call, a motion was made by Bruce Attinger and seconded by Elizabeth McDougall to approve the minutes from the last meeting of June 29, 2012. Remarks from Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne: The Lt. Governor discussed the legal opinion received from Breazeale, Sachse & Wilson, L.L.P. regarding the authority of the commission over the state tourism budget dollars. It was of the opinion of Breazeale, Sachse & Wilson, L.L.P. that although this statutory language appears to be clear and unambiguous protection of the tourism tax for tourism promotion only, because it is not written in the Louisiana Constitution of 1974, it can be easily repealed by the legislature. The Lt. Governor strongly suggested that the commission and other industry partners try to meet with legislators and the governor to stress the need and importance to secure the tourism budget and not fund any pass throughs through the tourism budget. The Lt. Governor and key personnel will be going to France for two weeks to meet with key tourism leaders to help promote the state of Louisiana.
