Tourism Funds
Meredith-
At your request, I have researched the formation of the Riverside Tourism Commission. The authority of various cities in
the State of Missouri to impose a transient guest tax is found in several enabling statutes. The Riverside hotel /motel
transient guest tax was enacted under authority granted by Section 67.1360 RSMo. The composition of the tourism
commission and the use of the proceeds from the tax are governed by Section 67.1364 RSMo. and are reflected in the
City Code Sections 140.200 through 140.335.
It is a requirement of State law that the commission be comprised of one representative of the hotel /motel industry,
two members active in the tourism industry, and two members representing local general business interests. All
members of the commission are required to be residents of the City. There are no standards as to what qualifies a
member to meet any of the foregoing qualifications. A good faith effort should be made to locate individuals to serve
on the commission with a direct relationship in the areas set forth in the statute; however, absent the ability to recruit
residents with a direct relationship, an indirect relationship will suffice as long as the individual understands that he /she
should represent the interests of the classification he /she is appointed to represent. Member terms are three years and
no member may serve more than two consecutive terms. A member may be reappointed to serve in the same capacity
after taking a break or hiatus from service on the commission. Because the membership composition is set forth in State
law, no changes may be made to the City Code to alter the qualifications of the members.
Finally, the funds collected under the transient guest tax are required to be utilized "solely to promote tourism ".
Whether or not an expenditure meets the statutory requirements for promotion of tourism is a legislative determination
of the Board of Aldermen which will be upheld as long as the funds are expended within the broad parameters of
tourism promotion (which gives relatively broad discretion). Examples of the general types /categories of expenditures
which fits within the broad parameters of tourism promotion are:
Advertising to promote community assets (parks, recreation, shopping, dining, lodging, etc.);
Advertising to promote specific community activities;
General marketing of the City;
Promotion of special events, festivals & arts designed to draw people from outside the city limits (it's not
tourism if it only attracts people from within the community);
Contracting with any person, firm or agency to advise and assist in travel & tourism promotion;
Financial support of activities designed to draw people to the community;
Publication and distribution of tourist promotional material such as brochures and booklets;
Cooperation with civic groups in developing programs which encourage educational tourism;
Articles and advertisements in magazines, newspapers, radio, television and travel publications; and
Establishment of promotional exhibitions.
In general, capital projects will not qualify for tourism promotion. However, a well articulated plan to draw tourists
through construction of a unique attraction within the City could qualify. An example would be the commissioning of an
artist to construct a major piece of sculpture to install on public property that is intended to be marketed outside the
community to attract visitors (provided that there are legislative findings from the governing body which support the
fact the sculpture is installed to promote tourism in the community). Similarly, construction of ball fields in which to
hold tournament events bringing in visitors from outside the community may be found by the Board of Aldermen to
promote tourism.
Let me know if you have additional questions or need anything further.

Riverside BLAST 2010 Feedback and Future Event Options
General Feedback
- Easy for Public Safety and Public Works to coordinate efforts.
- No issues with alcohol in the area
- Number of positive comments on not having a designated beer garden
- Number of positive comments from attendees on fireworks show — BOA has expressed interest in having the event
in a location where fireworks can be larger in the future
- Needed more speakers for the band
- Event too spread out — will squash components closer to stage next year
- Heat impacted attendance early — picked up once the sun went down
- Add hay bales in roadway
- Get permission to better utilize parking lot next to Corner Cafe
- Food vendors reported favorable sales. Cupcakes sold out.
- QuikTrip manager reported 3,300 transactions between 9 and 10 p.m.
- Chamber of Commerce beer sales impacted by allowing outside food and beverages into event
- Fireworks vendors not able to volunteer at Fireworks Safety Workshop due to date
- Consider another date — either the Saturday before fireworks season starts or not during fireworks season at all
- Detours and parking at event site impacted nearby fireworks vendors — designate more parking for Honest John's
and better mark detour to allow traffic up to Woodland.
Event Location Options
Option A: Intersection of Gateway and Vivion
Concept: Keep the event in the same location but move everything forward so all activities happen on the north side of
the bridge. Utilize the front half of the lot between the Corner Cafe and Swope for the event (food vendors and beer
tent) and keep the backside for fireworks tent parking. Add additional speakers to the soundstage.
Pros:
- Draws people to the heart of Riverside
- Easy for Public Works and Public Safety to coordinate efforts
- Presents a different event concept than other City events
- Ample parking
Cons:
Fireworks are far away (no option to shoot closer — must be shot at EH Young Park)
Traffic disruption
Difficult and costly to establish event boundaries which impacts staff's ability to keep people from bringing in
outside food and beverage
Option B: Gateway Bridge
Concept: Block off Gateway from south of the second QuikTrip driveway to Woodland.
Pros:
- Draws people to the heart of Riverside
- Easy for Public Works and Public Safety to coordinate efforts
- Presents a different event concept than other City events
- Ample parking
- Doesn't significantly impact traffic flow at Gateway and Vivion Intersection and allows regular access to all
parking lots in the area. Detour route would still be utilized.
- Less costly and easier to establish event boundaries
Cons:
Doesn't utilize the Welcome Plaza
Traffic disruption
Fireworks are far away
Option C: Vivion Road
Concept: Block off Vivion between High Drive and Cliffview. Utilize Renner Brenner Park and road for event space.
Pros:
- Doesn't impact traffic flow at Gateway and Vivion Intersection and allows regular access to all parking lots in the
area. Vivion traffic would be routed through City Hall parking lot.
- Still close to downtown Riverside
- Presents a different event concept than other City events
- Ample parking
Cons:
- Area not as large and centralized (two lane road vs. four lane road)
- Smith residence is in close proximity
- Difficult to establish event boundaries
- Fireworks are far away. Would need to confirm visibility due to line of sight change.
Option D: EH Young Park
Concept: Return event to EH Young Park with set up similar to 2009 BBQ Blast Off Event.
Pros:
- Easy to establish event boundaries
- Fireworks can be shot from the river
- Event planning at the park is a known quantity to City staff
- Doesn't impact traffic flow in town
- Reduces cost of entertainment — don't have to build stage
Cons:
- Doesn't draw people into the City
- Similar concept as all other summer festivals in Riverside
- Risk of flooding (2010 event would have been cancelled due to high water)
- Difficult to park cars at EH Young Park in June due to typically wet ground
Event Date Options
Option A: Saturday before Fireworks Season Starts
- Same weekend as Parkville s Jazz Festival — makes it difficult to get vendors
- Had it this weekend in 2009
- Fireworks vendors able to help with Fireworks Safety Workshop — some year's a week before the tents open
though
- Father's Day weekend
Option 6: First Saturday during Fireworks Season
Fireworks sales typically do not pick up until 4 -5 days before the 4 of July — far enough away from peak time to
prevent major disruption
Gives people the option to buy while they are in town
Option C: Another date during the summer
Could reframe event to not be focused on fireworks — limited participation from vendors both years and could
eliminate issue with visibility of large fireworks show
Selling Starts

City of Riverside Tourism Enhancement Grant Application for the
Kansas City Scottish Highland Games and Celtic Festival - 2011
. Project
The Kansas City Scottish Highland Ganes & Celtic festival is a not for profit
organization entirely run and managed by volunteers. We host our annual event each
year on the second weekend in June, presently located at EH Young Park in Riverside
since 2006. We have just completed our 33 year. Competitors and guests travel from
over 25 different states and Scotland to attend our Scottish heritage event discovering
their roots in genealogy, history, clans, dance, pipes and drums, athletics and children's
events. They can also enjoy authentic Scottish and favorite local foods, Celtic
merchandise vendors and our colorful Scottish livestock displa sheepdogs in action,
giant Clydesdale horses and picturesque Hielan' Coos (Highland cattle). We have two
stages of live Irish and Scottish Music continuing throughout the weekend, featuring
favorite regional entertainers as well as nationally known headliners.
Our Festival is an inclusive, family and cultural event held where people can cone and
learn about their Scottish heritage. We strive to reach families of all ages interested in
learning about another culture. Our motto has always beer, "Come be a Scot, even if
you're not '. Each year we work to increase our activities to give the audience something
new to do or watch and insure they will want to return the next year. Our success each
year is solely dependent upon attendance and sponsorship. Adverse weather conditions
affect the gate which then can also affect future sponsorships.
Our fiscal year ends Aug 3 l of each year. Sponsors, members, and donors all have to be
confirmed for the next year. Contact has to be made to all returning competitors,
vendors, exhibitors, entertainers and contracts Witten. Prices have to be adjusted to
account for the economy at present time and to offer optimal value.
For 201 o we adjusted our prices to give an option for those wanting to cone in for
evenings only as well as value packages for families and those wanting a full weekend
pass. We also decreased our gate price on Friday night in high hopes of attracting more
to cone and listen to Enter the Haggis from Canada.
We expanded our audience participation events with the Scottish Wrestling, Archery,
additional Kid's events, Pipes and Drums competition audience judging and sheep clog
demonstrations. Our Entertainment bands also invited wide audience participation. We
feel that the more events we have that stimulate the audience the more they feel welcome
and involved. Ultimately this would lead to their return in the future. For 2011, we will
be looking to further this direction while still beeping to our Celtic heritage and roots.
In 2011. Clan Davidson plans to host their international gathering at our Games. Plans
are underway as they have booked the Argosy and are working with our group presently.
We will soon be partnering with the St. Louis Tartan Day event that boasts 60,000 in
attendance each April. We will form a coalition, along with two other smaller Highland
Ganes in Missiouri, to improve growth and attendance at each event.
Pr9ject Evaluation
Plans were In place for the biggest turnout since the Braveheart movie fad of the 's.
We had a record number of Athletes competing both Saturday and Sunday, our Pub-
nights had been well attended, the Midwest Irish Focus had Witten 3 stories about us;
including the announcement of our top band, Enter the Haggis on Friday night. We had
nearly 2,000 `friends' on Face Book and 50 kegs of beer had been ordered. But, our
hopes and expectations of having a large crowd fell away as fast as the 2" of recorded
rainfall carne down by mid- afternoon on Saturday. with both Friday night and Sunday
morning starting out very cloudy and rain again on Sunday mor ing, we experienced
what we call a complete rainot. Fortunately, we did pay for Rain Insurance this year
and have kept ourselves from going out of business. This is one of the draw back of
having our Festival outside as well as in the Midwest where the weather is always
unpredictable!
We can not say thank you enough to Mike a Shelton of the City of Riverside, and the
Command Center in beeping our group in the loop on Saturday r oming during the
torrential downpour, 'without his insight and up to date computer monitoring system we
would not have been able to keep all the competitors, clans and vendors in place to wait
out the ram. Our hats off to Mile and his crew!
Despite the bad weather, we were able for the T year In a row, to participate in an
extensive counting procedure using zip codes for a very successful and accurate
accounting of all people attending; including spectators, competitors, vendors, volunteers
and entertainers. we are still seeing an influx of people from the Lawrence and Topeka
communities, as well as outstate Missouri and also Iowa, Illinois, Oklahoma and Texas.
We saw a jump in actual Northland residents and also attendees from several surrounding
towns such as Liberty, Independence, Blue Springs, Lees Summit, Grandview and others.
Please see attached sheet listing both the 2009 and 2010 attendance data.
We continue to have success In keeping our many sponsors, vendors, competitors and
volunteers as well as their willingness to stay involved for the future. we feel very
fortunate that although the American economy is still suffering in 2010, we saw no losses
of Sponsors this season. In fact, we picked up an Entertainment sponsor this year as well
as expanded to a Missouri Winery for not only a financial sponsorship but also added on
to our beverage menu. we continue to receive compliments from all involved that the
quality of our Games that we present are on par with, or exceed, those of other Highland
Games around the country. The Athletic venue saw 93 on the Meld; 18 more then last
year. The Scottish Dancers increased their participants by 10 girls this year. The Pipes
and Drums hosted a mini band competition; the first time since 2005. We increased our
Entertainment hands to 15; 5 were from out of state and Canada. Our volunteer base
continues to grow as does our involvement with companies such as walgreens that
furnish volunteers for the front gate. we continue to enjoy a long standing relationship
with Riverside Sponsors, many since 2006. In uncertain economic times, it is imperative
to be creative in ways that can lend each other to prosperity down the road. Please see
attached list of active Sponsors for 2010 and what they contribute,
Our web site at www, k ps q ott i s lig
qnies,om continues to remain No. #1 for Google search
and for the 2010 season we experienced 153,000 hits; over 6,000 during Game's week.

1. Pr ie t Narrative
"Increased awareness and appreciation of cultural and ethnic diversity in our
community." continues to be the mission of The Northland Ethnic Festival.
Northland Ethnic Festival was the first and continues to be the major ethnic event in the
Northland. The 2010 Festival move to Park Hill South, rather than Park Hill, proved to
be a great venue for the visitors and the many out of town and state presenters and
vendors. The setting, view, accessible kitchen, easy to find location, and built in stage
improved the event considerably.
The Tourism Commission Goal of increasing the number of first time and return visitors
to Riverside will be net easily with vendors, performers, and presenters alone; then
there are the many from other counties that will attend, based on the easy to find
location (one of our marketing points. The presenters are primarily from the Ethnic
E nrichment Commission of Kansas City, and live in Jackson County Missouri and
Johnson County Kansas.
The festival enhances community life in the Northland by allowing residents to
participate in an event held in AIWA accessible, temperature controlled site. The no cost
festival reaffirms riverside's and the Northland's hland's continuing commitment ent to diversity.
Our taLg et number to reach with this April 16, 2011 event is 2,000, an increase of 500
from last Y ear. We think this is doable as this will be our 2nd year at the same site and
because the Ethnic Enrichment Commission and the local presenters /vendors will
promote this event, due to the location. (Based on comments made in 20 1 0)
Target or special promotion efforts will be ,made via several family, home school, and
c ommunity e- newsletters, residents of group hones and shelters, international adoptive
parents, regional -H and scout groups, Northland libraries, senior citizen groups,
school language and social study classes, as well as language clubs and groups in the
Platte, Clay, & Buchanan County schools , Regional Chamber of Commerce and EDC
agencies, as of course Park University, Missouri Western State University, Metropolitan
Community College /Maple Woods, UMKC Northland, Park Hill, Platte County R 3, Park
Hill and north Kansas City school districts.
Participants will be able to learn about 20 =25 cultures and countries in one day, with
stage presentations changing each 20 ,minutes, and authentic attire, crafts, art, and
literature from the booths. There is not an entry fee, but people can purchase food and
crafts, or just come to enjoy the stave shows and displays, or lean about basics of
family genealogy. Children's activities will include international art, passport, and
games.
Presenters include those with ethnic music and dance, crafts, activities, and food.
