Port Orchard
City of Port Orchard FY2025 LTAC Answers —Visit Kitsap Peninsula
a) Marketing Plan
i. Explain your Marketing Plan to promote tourism in Port Orchard. Specify your
audience.
Our marketing plan aims to enhance Port Orchard's visibility as a prime destination for regional
travelers by capturing professional photos of marquee events. The images will be used across
multiple platforms, including our website, itineraries, social media, email marketing, press
requests, and shared with tourism partners to amplify reach. The target audience includes
leisure travelers, event enthusiasts, and families from 50+ miles away, with an emphasis on
attracting overnight guests interested in exploring local culture, scenic beauty, and unique
events.
ii. Discuss how your marketing plan generates "heads in beds" (overnight stays) in Port
Orchard and/or draws visitors from 50+ miles away.
By showcasing Port Orchard's marquee events and scenic attractions through compelling
visuals, we aim to drive event -based tourism and encourage overnight stays. Marketing efforts
will be focused on promoting events like the Fathoms O' Fun Festival and Mosquito Fleet
Festival, Port Orchard Farmers Market, etc. which have a track record of attracting visitors from
Seattle -Tacoma, Portland, and beyond. This approach will highlight lodging options, encourage
multi -day itineraries, and leverage partnerships with local hotels to offer event packages, thus
increasing the likelihood of overnight stays.
iii. What percent of your budget is marketing? What percentage of your request is
marketing? Provide a summary of the types of marketing and include the total amount
spent for each type that your organization uses.
• Approximately 50.33% of our total budget ask (County + Cities) is allocated to marketing
initiatives.
• 100% of the $5,000 request will go directly towards capturing event photography
for marketing use for the City of Port Orchard.
• Summary of Marketing Types:
o Creative + Photography/Videography: $20,000 (County + Cities)
o Advertising (Social Media, Google Ads): $239,000 (County + Cities)
o Website Updates & Maintenance: $40,000 (County)
o Press Outreach: $45,000 (County)

City of Port Orchard FY2025 LTAC Answers —Visit Kitsap Peninsula
b) Financial Status
i. Has your organization applied for funding through other sources? Will your
organization be pursuing other funding in the future? If no, why?
Yes, we have applied for funding from the Kitsap County Lodging Tax Advisory Committee and
plan to match any awarded funds to extend our marketing efforts for Port Orchard. Additionally,
we continue to pursue grants from State of Washington Tourism and Port of Seattle to support
regional tourism campaigns. We have also applied for the same amount of funding from the City
of Bainbridge Island LTAC for marquee event photos. Additional funding requests have been
made to the City of Bremerton to help promote group sales and leisure tourism and City of
Poulsbo to help promote leisure tourism with 2 campaigns and event photography and
videography.
ii. If your organization collaborates with other organizations on tourism, how is this
accomplished? What do you collaborate about? And is this done without duplicating
another organization's efforts?
We are currently collaborating with the Greater Kitsap Chamber on a project to promote leisure
tourism to the City of Bremerton through a Port of Seattle grant, using matching funds from our
City of Bremerton LTAC award for 2024. This project includes the production of a commercial,
new photography, a dedicated landing page, and an advertising campaign targeting travelers
from Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, and Las Vegas. Additionally, we host quarterly hospitality
hours, inviting local chambers and hotels to connect, share insights, and discuss tourism
strategies.
We are also partnering with the City of Poulsbo to educate local event organizers on leveraging
Google Analytics for measuring the success of their events. Last year, we collaborated with the
Kitsap Economic Development Alliance to highlight historically under -represented businesses
during the holiday season. Our efforts focus on aligning with community partners to maximize
the impact of our tourism promotion without duplicating existing efforts.
iii. If your organization does sole marketing, are you currently considering opportunities
for collaboration?
Yes, we actively seek collaboration opportunities, especially with local businesses and event
organizers, to extend the reach of our campaigns and pool resources for more impactful
marketing.
iv. What is your organization doing to become financially sustainable?
VKP is focused on diversifying revenue through partnerships, leveraging grant opportunities,
UAr
Port Orchard
City of Port Orchard FY2025 LTAC Answers —Visit Kitsap Peninsula
and developing co-op marketing programs that allow tourism partners to buy into larger
campaigns, thus sharing the cost burden.
v. If you received part of your requested funding, would your program or event be
possible?
Yes, receiving partial funding would still allow us to capture some event photography, though the
scope might be limited. Matching funds from the county will help ensure comprehensive
coverage.
c) Reporting Requirements (Estimates for 2025)
i. How many visitors will your program or event bring to Port Orchard?
Estimated 5,500 visitors, factoring in increased interest due to over 3,000 visits to the Port
Orchard landing page on visitkitsap.com. This indicates strong interest in the city's events and
attractions.
ii. How many visitors will travel to Port Orchard and stay overnight?
Approximately 450 overnight visitors are expected, based on historical lodging data and the
conversion of landing page interest into actual overnight stays.
iii. How many visitors will travel 50 miles+ for the day or stay overnight? If from outside
WA, indicate how many and from what states and/or countries when possible.
Estimated 1,500 visitors will travel from over 50 miles away, with around 150 of these from out
of state. The primary out-of-state markets will likely be Oregon, California, and British Columbia,
influenced by the geographic distribution of website traffic and targeted marketing efforts.
iv. What revenue is expected to be generated by your program or event?
Projected revenue is approximately $90,000, based on an average spend of $165 per visitor.
This takes into account the impact of heightened interest driven by the website traffic, including
spending on accommodations, dining, and local activities.
v. Please explain your methodology for collecting and/or estimating tourist data.
Estimates are based on past occupancy rates, average daily rates, visitor origin data, and
spending patterns provided in recent STR reports. Additionally, we factor in survey responses
from local lodging establishments, website traffic analysis, and social media engagement
metrics during event periods.

2023 TAX RETURN ENGAGEMENT LETTER
Dear Client ("Client", "you"),
Thank you for selecting Parker Mooers & Cena, LLC ("Firm", "we", "us" or "our") to assist you
with preparation of your tax returns. This letter, together with the Terms and Conditions of
Engagement (this "Engagement Letter") confirms the objectives of our engagement and the terms
and conditions on which we will provide services.
Your returns will be prepared from information you provide. We may ask for explanation or
clarification of some items, but we will not audit or otherwise verify your data. You are
responsible for the completeness and accuracy of information used to prepare the returns. Our
responsibility is to prepare the returns in accordance with applicable tax laws. By executing this
engagement letter, you hereby consent to the transfer from any prior firm to us of all your client
files, work papers, and work product.
Our fees for preparing your returns will be based on the time required at our standard rates for
such services. Payments for any fee shall be made within twenty (20) days of the invoice date.
Any administrative expenses such as postage or purchases of software for client use will be billed
separately with 15% administration fee added. All expenses shall be pre -approved by Client in
advance of Firm undertaking such expense. If the Client believes that there is a discrepancy with
any invoice, the Client will have twenty (20) days from the date of the invoice to raise the
objection to us in writing, and the parties agree to work in good faith to resolve such discrepancy.
If the Client does not notify the Firm in writing within this twenty (20) day period, the invoice
will be considered accurate and accepted by the Client, and the Client waives any right to dispute
the invoice at a later date. Any payments beyond the 20 day window will be subject to a 5% per
annum, until paid in full.
We shall not be responsible for any late filings, penalties, interest, missed elections or other
consequences which may result from such a delay due to non-payment of invoices by Client. For
all tax compliance engagements, we reserve the right to place your return(s) on extension and you
hereby authorize us to do so.
Your return may be selected for examination by state or federal tax agencies. In that event, we
will be available to assist you in defending and explaining the return. This service is not part of
our engagement to prepare your returns, and would be the subject of a separate agreement for
such services.
We appreciate the opportunity to serve you in this important work. If you have questions about
the contents of this Engagement Letter, please contact our office.
I. Client Responsibilities and Representations
It is the responsibility of you or your representatives to provide all the information required for
the preparation of complete and accurate tax returns, including information about your foreign
assets and digital assets. Your returns will be prepared from the information submitted by your
representatives. We will not audit or otherwise verify the information submitted to us. However,
we may ask for additional documentation and clarification of some of the information. We
anticipate that you or your representatives will furnish all of the requested information in a timely
and organized manner. During the term of our engagement, we may advise you to make certain
online tax elections, online registrations or online payments. We are not responsible for making
these online tax elections, online registrations or online payments. It is the responsibility of you
or your representative to ensure these online actions are completed.
It is your responsibility to make all federal, state and local tax deposits. It is also your
responsibility to determine employee versus independent contractor status. If you have any
questions regarding the classification of employees versus independent contractors, we strongly
encourage you to consult with legal counsel experienced in employment practice matters. We will
not reconcile the payroll tax returns with the withholding records. By your signature below, you
acknowledge that it is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of the compensation and
withholding records being provided to us.
The Internal Revenue Service and various other federal and state authorities require the reporting
of information concerning activities and holdings outside the United States. Examples include
having foreign bank and other financial accounts, ownership interests in certain entities outside of
the United States, as well as other "reportable" and "listed" transactions. It is your responsibility
to make us aware of all such transactions and information.
Our engagement cannot be relied on to uncover errors, fraud, or other irregularities in the
underlying information submitted to us and 'incorporated in your tax returns, should any exist.
However, we will inform you of any such matters that come to our attention.
Because you have ultimate responsibility for the tax returns, a responsible representative should
review the returns prior to signing and filing them (or authorizing us to file the tax returns on
behalf of you). Your representative shall be authorized to make decisions regarding tax positions
reflected on your tax returns or which we have brought to the attention of your representative.
You agree and acknowledge that, by signing and filing (or authorizing the filing) of the tax
returns, you represent that it provided to us all information required for the preparation of
complete and accurate tax returns.
All tax returns and other tax filings are subject to examination by the taxing authorities. In the
event of an examination, you or your representatives may be requested to produce documents,
records, or other evidence to substantiate the items of income and deduction shown on the
returns. In preparing the returns, we will rely upon your representations that its representatives
understand, and have complied with, applicable documentation requirements.
II. Our Responsibility and Limitations
The nature of our engagement requires us to exercise our professional judgment with respect to
various tax, accounting and related issues and to comply with professional standards. We will
adopt in the tax returns whatever position you request, so long as it is consistent with our
professional standards, ethics and the laws of the applicable taxing jurisdictions. If we do not
have a reasonable belief that a position on your tax return has "substantial authority" to be
sustained on its merits (or "more likely than not" in the case of a "tax shelter" or a "reportable
transaction"), we will not be able to complete the preparation of your returns unless your
representatives agree to adequately disclose the position on the return and there is a reasonable
basis for the position. You acknowledge and agree that, in the event you (i) ask us to take an
unsupported tax position or (ii) take a tax position and refuses to make any required disclosures,
we may withdraw from the engagement without completing or delivering the tax returns.
III. Termination of Engagement
The term of this engagement shall commence on the date set forth above and end upon the earlier
of (i) twelve (12) months from the date of this Engagement Letter, (ii) where applicable, filing the
final work product for which we have been engaged, or (ii) termination by either party of this
contract upon thirty (30) days prior written notice (email, mail, or overnight courier) to the other
party, subject in either case to Client's payment for all charges incurred by Firm through the
termination date.
IV. Standard Terms & Conditions of Engagement
The Terms and Conditions affixed to this Engagement Letter set forth the additional terms and
conditions to which this engagement is subject in all respects.
Please indicate acceptance of the Engagement Letter (including the Terms and Conditions of
Engagement) by signing and returning this letter to us. When you submit your tax information to
us, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions for our services outlined in
this Engagement Letter even without a signature to this Engagement Letter.
This Engagement Letter may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of
an executed counterpart's signature page of this Engagement Letter by facsimile, email in portable
document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means (including DocuSign) has the same
effect as delivery of an executed original of this engagement letter.

summarizing and standardizing the aggregated data for benchmarking (the

authorized to access Client information transmitted through our client portal.
£ Client is solely responsible for maintaining their books and records and should
not rely on us as their record -keeper or repository for any final work product for
which we have been engaged. We shall have no responsibility for maintaining
Client's records, including any work product we provide to you and records that we
return to you, for future use, including potential examination by any government or
regulatory agency. Client agrees to retrieve final work product from the portal within
a reasonable period of time after the conclusion of the engagement.

affiliated entities located outside the United States to this engagement, and (b) transmitting

for Client and to perform operational services. If applicable, Client agrees to timely complete
and return to us an executed consent complying with IRS Code Section 7216.

express written consent.
Out -of -Scope Services: Any services outside the services set forth in this Engagement
Letter will be a separate, new engagement. The terms and conditions of that new engagement
will be governed by a new, specific engagement letter for that service. In the event an
engagement letter for the out -of -scope services is not issued, each such out -of -scope service

I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions of Engagement. i u
Federal law requires this consent form be provided to you. Unless authorized by law, we cannot
disclose, without your consent, your tax return information to third parties for purposes other than
the preparation and filing of your tax return and, in certain limited circumstances, for purposes
involving tax return preparation. If you consent to the disclosure of your tax return information,
Federal law may not protect your tax return information from further use or distribution.
You are not required to complete this form to engage our tax return preparation services. Because
our ability to disclose your tax return information to another tax return preparer affects the service
that we provide to you and its cost, we may decline to provide you with service or change the
terms of service that we provide to you if you do not sign this form. If you agree to the disclosure
of your tax return information, your consent will remain in effect during the time in which you
engage us to provide services unless you notify us in writing that you no longer wish to disclose
your tax return information.
This consent to disclose may result in your tax return information being disclosed to a tax return
preparer located outside the United States, including your personally identifiable information
such as your Social Security Number ("SSN"). Both the tax return preparer in the U.S. that will
disclose your SSN and the tax return preparer located outside the U.S. which will receive your
SSN maintain an adequate data protection safeguard (as required by the regulations under 26
U.S.C. §7216) to protect privacy and prevent unauthorized access of tax return information. If
you consent to the disclosure of your tax return information, Federal agencies may not be able to
enforce U.S. laws that protect the privacy of your tax return information against a tax return
preparer located outside of the U.S. to which the information is disclosed.
If you agree to allow the firm to disclose your tax return information, as set forth below, please
sign and date this consent to the disclosure of your tax return information.
I, authorize firm to disclose Taxpayer's tax return information
(including the entire return(s) and Taxpayer's SSN(s)) to firm outside the United States for the
purpose of assisting in the preparation of Taxpayer's tax return(s).
