Arts Alive — Ayleen Burns — They have started a fellowship program for artists in the community and are forming a judging panel. An anonymous donor supplied the funds for the program. XI. Fort Fund Funding Recommendations - Based on the presentations heard on January 22, the Board made funding recommendations for Tier #2 and #3 Fort Fund applicants (see attached funding recommendations) Board members were also assigned to act as liaisons for funded events. The Board discussed Tier 3 events that clearly have the start-up funds yet proceed to raise large sums of money. The Board questioned whether Fort Fund grants serve more as a "donations" in these cases. The Board will discuss this item at a future meeting. The Board also questioned why some organizations (e.g. Disabled Resources Services, Public Radio for the Front Range) did not have other sponsorships for their events. The Board also discussed organizations that have national chapters such as the American Cancer Society. Some of these organizations are required to give a percentage of their event profits to the National Chapter. The Board questioned whether the dollars would benefit local services. The Board will have a more involved discussion about these organizations and whether Fort Fund should support these events if the dollars raised are given to the national programs. Staff will determine which organizations have national umbrellas and if the event profits or merely the grant monies stay in Fort Collins. It was also mentioned that events sponsored by many of these types of organizations bring significant tourism dollars to Fort Collins. This will be important for the Board to consider in future discussions as well as the benefit of these events to the Fort Collins community. Jennifer moves to include the American Cancer Society at the minimum amount until the Board can further discuss these issues. Jon Wilkinson seconded Adopted 5-2 (opposed: Jack Steele, Jon Wilkinson) Jennifer Sterling Beccard moved to accept funding recommendations Marylin Barnes seconded Passed Unanimously The Board suggested that staff update the front page of the application form. Staff will place this item on February's agenda. VIII. Other Business — None XH.

Fischbach, City Manager Y_ RE: City Budget Preparation The City of Fort Collins will soon begin the development of the City's budget. As you are aware, the City adopts a two-year budget. In September 2003, I will be recommending to City Council the biennial budget for fiscal years 2004 and 2005 for their consideration and approval. To formulate my recommendation, I want to provide an opportunity for the various Boards and Commissions to offer suggestions on key budget issues for the years 2004 and 2005. I view the budget not only as a tool to manage and control expenditures and revenues but also as a blueprint for outlining service priorities that reflect our community values. This will be all the more important for the upcoming biennial budget period because of the trying economic conditions we are currently operating in now and, by all current indications, will be operating in the next year or so. If your Board or Commission has any policy or service suggestions, either enhancements or reductions, that you think would be important for Council to consider for 2004 and 2005, I would like to hear from your group by April 28, 2003. Please work with your staff liaison who will forward Your suggestions and comments to the Budget Office Your suggestions are valuable to me and Council as we develop the City's service plan for 2004 and 2005. cc: Board and Commission Liaisons 300 LaPorte Avenue • P.O.
