A professional services agreement between the city and the local chamber of commerce was approved in a 6-0-1 vote June 6 by the Apache Junction City Council.

The agreement with the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce, 567 W. Apache Trail, is for the operation of a local visitor information center for a term of three years in the total amount of $124,234. It will be broken up as $41,000 for fiscal year 2017-18 with 1 percent annual increases, including $41,410 for fiscal year 2018-19 and $41,824.00 for fiscal year 2019-20, according to a staff report available with the agenda at https://apachejunction.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx.

“As we have for many years, the city is looking for a consultant to provide a service to current and prospective residents and visitors whereby folks looking for information about Apache Junction could have a facility to go to and get some free information at that center,” Janine Solley, economic development director for the city of Apache Junction, told the council.
