LTAC Membership Process

When there is an open position on the LTAC, the Tourism Program Administrator requests application(s) for LTAC membership. The Mayor interviews a selected candidate and makes a recommendation on the candidate's membership to the City Council. The City Council interviews the candidate prior to a regular Council meeting, and votes on the candidate's membership at a subsequent Council meeting. If approved, the candidate becomes an LTAC member.
