IV. Liaisons
The Board selected Liaisons for those events funded at the January 2006 Fort Fund session. The
list of liaisons is attached.
V. Fort Fund Discussion
The Board discussed and confirmed their intent to recommend that the lodging tax be split
with 70% going to the Convention and Visitors Bureau and 30% going toward the Fort Fund program.
This recommendation was developed in cooperation with the CVB, who agreed to provide an on-line
cultural calendar, a promotional campaign from Denver to Cheyenne promoting Fort Collins as an
outdoor adventure and cultural destination, and to include culture and arts in the content of other
promotions.
The Board also discussed how the Fort Fund program could be used to help forward their
overarching goal of serving as a catalyst to make Fort Collins a cultural center and destination, and to
help the arts community grow professionally, economically, and maintain accessibility. The Board
will consider creating a fourth tier in the Fort Fund program which would fund projects, programs, or
events that would meet specific criteria developed to meet the goals stated above. The Board directed
staff to prepare the modifications to the Fort Fund guidelines based on the discussion of a Tier Four
and bring to the next regular meeting for discussion.
