Committee Reports
Finance
Mr.
Gering reported that revenue is on track with the norm. He reported that the budgeted $175,000 support from Chapel Hill could increase to $200,000 if the Bureau’s performance reaches
over a million in occupancy revenue. However with the Carolina Inn’s 100 rooms taken off-line for part of the year, that goal may not be reached. Mr. Gering reported that building repair
and advertising are above 80% due to funds encumbered at the beginning of the fiscal year. Mr. Gering reported that occupancy receipts are 1.35% ahead of last year for year to date through
August
Dave Gephart inquired why July’s revenue was down.
