  The City of Eagle Pass reviewed their contract with the Eagle Pass Chamber of Commerce for tourism and publicity services at their meeting held on Tuesday, October 10. 

During the course of the meeting, Eagle Pass Mayor Ramsey E. Cantu requested that the item be taken into executive session to discuss since it involved a contract, and is allowed to be discussed behind closed doors. 

Once back in open session Mayor Cantu stated that changes were to be made on the contract.

“Based on our discussions, I believe that we will modify the chamber’s contract as per the discussions and recommendations that were made in executive session and prepare for signature for execution,”said Cantu. 

 He then asked for a motion which was made by Mayor Pro Tem Yolanda Ramon and seconded by by Councilwoman Gloria Hernandez.

The item was then called for a vote and approved unanimously.    

The contract between the City of Eagle Pass and the Chamber of Commerce for tourism and publicity is reviewed and approved on a yearly basis and is approximately $91,200 which are available to the chamber through a reimbursement schedule.

The $91,200 are made available from the Hotel Occupancy Room Tax funds which are allocated to the City’s budget for tourism and publicity of the City of Eagle Pass. 

The Eagle Pass Chamber of Commerce plays an important role and partnership with the City in tourism and publicity services, and has done so for many years while receiving a contribution from the city for such services.   

Recently Eagle Pass City Manager Arturo Rodriguez requested that the City Council allow him to take $30,000 from leftover funds from the Chamber’s yearly contributed funds to be able to use for other advertising opportunities that he would take care of, and disperse possibly through the Business Economic Development Committee or through his office. 

It is unclear if the city council will be granting Rodriguez his wishes to be able to promote the city with the funds he has requested.
