O'Fallon Convention & Visitors Bureau 09-23-26 | O'Fallon, Missouri

The O’Fallon Convention & Visitors Bureau meeting on September 23, 2026, proceeded with discussion only because there was no quorum; no votes were taken. The main procurement-related update was a planned marketing consultant RFP, expanded to include collection and analysis of mobile or geolocation data. Staff expected to issue it the following week, seek submissions by October 23, and potentially have a consultant under contract by year-end. The anticipated 90–120-day engagement would likely run from January through April, after the consultant can evaluate the Celebration of Lights event. No award or approval of the RFP was made at this meeting.

Staff also reported that Parks and Recreation was working to advance batting cages at Ozzie Smith Sports Complex, following funding support approved at the prior meeting; the project may require City Council action through a resolution or budget amendment. Other updates covered the National Wiffle League Association tournament, historic-preservation materials, and upcoming tourism and arts events. The tournament generated more than 32 hotel room nights and used four local Airbnbs; staff also reported that 18,000 historic-preservation brochures are being printed. No other procurement awards or spending motions were identified.
