Our island also is blessed with many beautiful and scenic sites that have been set aside as parks for the enjoyment of residents and visitors alike. I Liheslaturan Guåhan finds, however, that many of these culturally significant sites and public parks are in various states of disrepair, and are in need of upgrading and development. Based on
statistical information gathered by the Guam Visitors Bureau (>GVB=) in various exit surveys, visiting historic sites, learning about our culture,
and visiting beautiful parks and scenic sites are among the activities tourists enjoy.
It is therefore the intent of I Liheslaturan Guåhan to create the Inetnon Minauleg Guam (>IMG=), to be comprised of the Guam Beautification Task Force, the Dipattamenton I Kaohao Guinahan
Chamorro or Department of Chamorro Affairs, the Department of Parks and Recreation (>DPR=), GVB, and the Department of Public Works (>DPW=). The Mayors of the villages in which sites enumerated in this Act are located shall also be members of the IMG. I Liheslaturan Guåhan intents that the IMG develop a prioritized schedule for the
renovation, beautification, and upgrading of each site, taking into account the historical and cultural importance of each site, the feasibility of each project, and the availability of supplementary funding from
sources other than the Tourist Attraction Fund (>TAF=). The IMG shall add appropriate sites to the list as it deems necessary. Their findings shall
be reported to I Maga’lahen Guåhan, the Speaker of I Liheslaturan Guqhan, and the Chairpersons of I Liheslaturan Guåhan=s Committees with oversight responsibilities for DPR and the TAF.
