He confirmed that Potter-Tioya only runs on the 5% hotel occupancy tax. 4% going tu the county treasurer and the remainder is invested in advertising to bring more tourists. Since COVID they have had pcople coming from other states and even countries to visit due to advertising beyond the local C punties. The goal is to encourage a longer stay with the tourists. Payc 1 of3 BOROUGH OF MANSFIELD April 9, 2025 Recognition ofvisitors (continued): Terri Patterson gave insight to where the money is coming and going for the Visit Potter-Tioga program. Income is non-taxpayer money; it is from the hotel occupancy tax received when tourists visit. Fighty-five percent of the hotel tax received yearly is used lor adv ertising and ten percent goes towards funding for grants for local events. The remaining percentage is invested to be used where needed. There has been conflict that the board meetings are closed to the public. but it is strictly for grant discussions like an executive session. They try to diversify the board members by bringing in various business owners/ndustries. A major concern they have is equal representation for both counties. currently roughly two-thirds Tioga to one-third Potter. They offer 1-year frce membership to ncw business owners to experience what Visit Potter-Tioga can offer. Brad Confer shared his experience as the owner of the Ole Cove ered Wagon tours with Visit Potter- Tioga. Charlie Earle wanted to commend the council for their outstanding work with the community. He appreciates the engagement and involvement with all memers and the borough. He has been visiting other boroughs to get an idea of what the meetings are about and local concerns.

South Main St. line relocation discussion: Krista lhomas joined through teams representing Drewberry to discuss the three main utility conflicis that may cause a need for line relocation. -The first conflict involves three water valve adjustors that need to be looked at to determine their elevation. Two oft them by the real estate oflice may he avoided due to the driveway tie-in. The third by the sewer station would need an elevation change. -The second conflict involves >600 fcet on the right side of the road, where the water line would be close to the new drainage pipes that need to be installed. They can make the contractor aware of the water line to avoid it, but part of the line would be under the drainage pipe causing future maintenance to be an issuc. Jimmie Joe suggested instead of relocation would they consider installing catch basins to send water to the other side of the road. Krista said she will look into that option. -The third conflict is before KFC at the culvert. it nceds L be extended to accommodate the widening of the road. The water line there is a main line and PennDot will need to be contacted to do a test hoic to determine the elevation.
