See attached spreadsheet from Helms Briscoe (and email below), plus
a spreadsheet on Oklahoma from Robert Kraus.<br>
<br>
In summary:<br>
1. Phoenix convention hotel will be $189 per night for the sleeping
rooms. Free meeting space. $1,000 food and beverage minimum (so
we'll probably do something like pay for your lunch and coffee to
reach that $1,000 minimum).<br>
<br>
2. OKC hotel will be $82 per night for sleeping rooms. Free meeting
space. Free breakfast. No Food and beverage minimum.<br>
<br>
HOWEVER, Robert Kraus noted to me from his vacation today in Miami
that: "Also we do not have to hold the meeting at the Phoenix
locations to see them. We can have the CVB send us a van to take us
to the 2 locations under consideration and stay at the Holiday Inn
& Suites Phoenix Airport North again for about $119-129 a night.

please find the completed Hotel Availability Report showing
those hotels that have the Feb 20-21 Board Meeting dates
available. Of the five properties selected to receive the
RFP, four of them have availability and have offered a
proposal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

attached report has three tabs. Tab 1 is an overview of
each hotel’s offer showing room rates, meeting room rental
and F & B minimum. Tab 2 is an in-depth, detailed
breakdown of each property’s proposal and Tab 3 shows the
lone property that turned down the RFP due to no guestroom
availability. By the way, initially the Hyatt Regency
Bellevue also turned down the RFP but has since come back
with availability due to being able to offer alternate
meeting space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

you’ve had an opportunity to review each property’s
proposal, please contact me with any questions that you may
have. Each of them sharpened their pencil the best that they
could and each of them in anxious to earn your business. I
look forward to your feedback. <o:p>
