From the transcript
We need to also find other opportunities for the city to increase our income through legitimate ways that protect the reasons people come to Ketchikan to get that picture on Creek Street. So if we're going to recognize one 501 that's a business plan that profits by selling tours, we have to balance that with a 501 that will hopefully put to heart protecting the resources that people choose to live here for and choose to come see. This is a Tourism Advisory Board. It's about tourism, and if Creek Street wants to have their own representation, all they got to do is come to the meeting. So we don't need to make them part of ex officiato or on the board.
