HOTEL INFORMATION:
All attendees should make their own room reservations at Cavallo Point Lodge (888/651-2003). The special ECOS group rate is $205 (plus a 3% facility fee) for single/double accommodations. This rate applies March 22, 23, and 24, and will be extended three nights pre- and post-meeting, based on availability. It is guaranteed only until sold out or February 22, 2010, whichever is sooner.
Cavallo Point Lodge falls under the federal per diem rate of $166 for San Francisco rather than the Marin County rate of $120 due to a footnote in federal guidelines covering entities (in this case the Golden Gate National Recreation Area) in more than one county. Contact Lia Parisien at lparisie@sso.org for additional details.
***One attendee from each state environmental agency that has paid its 2010 ECOS dues will be eligible for reimbursement of $39 per night for up to three nights. This is to cover the difference between the $205 room rate and the federal per diem rate of $166. A travel reimbursement form and instructions will be posted after the meeting at www.ecos.org.
Please note that although hotel policy is that guests may cancel or change room reservations at any time without penalty, ECOS is financially responsible for filling all rooms at the hotel. Accordingly, ECOS would ask that guests please make any cancellations at least a week prior to the meeting (earlier if possible) to avoid a situation in which the association has to foot the bill for empty rooms.
