Summary
The county's sports tourism task force — which connects Recreation, Parks, MCPS, and Visit Montgomery — needs a permanent home. Members want Visit Montgomery to be the central clearinghouse for sports events and facility leads, but Balcombe warned against keeping task forces alive forever without a fresh mandate.

Impact analysis
A TID would add an assessment on hotel bills — meaning potentially higher costs for overnight guests — though the committee did not adopt one.
Event organizers, youth sports tournaments, and venues like the soccerplex gain a single point of contact instead of fragmented agencies.
Hotel guests and lodging operators would shoulder the added assessment if a TID is eventually adopted.
