COLLINS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE June 30, 1964 Mr. Robert Boos City Manager City of Fort Collina Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Bob: The Tourist and Convention Committee and the Retail Councilof Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce have both discussed and looked favorably upon a project which we would like to call to your attention. The project concerns giving of the courtesy tickets to visitors, cars when they are overparked on a street meter. This idea is not unique. It is used by many cities and never fails to create a fine im- pression of those people to whom the service is rendered. It is our feeling that this type of treatment will nay dividends fort he City of Fort Collins in the goodwill that it will create. We know that the very best advertising we can receive comes by word of mouth. It: takes little more than courteous gesture to create this favorable work which people will be pleased to repeat_ across the United States. Although we have not done a survey, it is felt that the loss in revenue to the City will be a very small amount from this type of meter user. Chief Teegarden at CSU Security has verified to me that all student automobiles bear an identification sticker, and there would be no problem in confusing these automobiles with visitors' automobiles. We certainly hope that you will be willing to accept this program. You may count on every cooperation from the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce to make it a reality. Sincerely yours, Paul A. Phibbs General Manager cc: Mr. Arthur Grovert Mr. Jack Goodrich Mr. Frank "Johnson After discussion, motion was made by Councilman McMillan, seconded by Council- woman Quinn, that the request of the Chamber of Commerce for courtesy tickets, be adopted for a 90 day period.
