Date: June 16,2016 <br />To: Kittitas County Lodging Tax Committee <br />This 2016 Lodging Tax application by the City of Roslyn for Tourism-Related, Small- <br />Scale Municipality-Owned Capital Projects is consistent and compatible with the goals <br />and objectives of the Citizens Advisory Committee for the Roslyn Urban Forest and <br />supports the trail system adopted by the Roslyn City Council. <br />We understand that the Capital Project category is for applications from cities like Roslyn <br />who need funds to support tourism-related facilities owned or operated by the <br />municipality. The Roslyn Urban Forest is comprised of over 300 acres. It is heavily used <br />by tourists as evidenced by spring and summer mountain bike events which may draw <br />upward of 200 out-of-town mountain bike riders and their families and supporters. <br />We have some funding for directional trail signage, and more is needed due to the regular <br />use of the Roslyn Urban Forest by hikers, birders, skiers, mountain bikers and, to a lesser <br />extent, horseback riders. Our funding is not sufficient to continue the implementation of <br />our plan. Please fund this grant so that we might continue to more fully address the needs <br />of seasonal use on the trails and further develop this valuable resource in support of our <br />regional tourist industry. <br />Respectfully, <br />e 1:,1. Cnrur <br />Citizens Advisory Committee for the Roslyn Urban Forest
