Cathy Jones of the FCCVB requested input from the CRB on their website Events Calendar. The
Board agreed to e-mail Cathy their ideas on unique Fort Collins events and venues that may be added
to the calendar.
V. Creation of Tier 4:
The Board provided feedback on the Cultural Entrepreneurial Innovation Super Fund draft that was
provided at the June board meeting. They read and discussed the memo from Ingrid Decker, Assistant
City Attorney regarding non-profit and tax exempt organizations. It was decided that the language for
the eligibility requirements for Tier 4 would remain the same as stated in the Fort Fund application for
Tier 1, 2 and 3. The application deadline was set for the first Tuesday in January (January 2, 2007) at
5:00 p.m. After revisions were made, it was suggested that Ms. Stilwell and a Board member meet
soon with Ms. Weitkunat and present the revised draft for her perusal.
Ms. Beck-Ferkiss moved to pass the draft as amended.
Ms. Hixon accepted the motion and Ms. Wilmsen seconded it.
Passed unanimouslv

VI. Fort Fund:
A rough draft of the application revisions was distributed to the Board and will be reviewed at the next
session. They will also determine at that time if the dates for the funding sessions for 2007 should be
changed. The Board would like to include a "comments" section on the scoring matrix. Ms. Budner
will add this to the current form. Liaisons were assigned to three events. The remainder of the events
will have the liaisons assigned to them at the next session when more members are present.
The Board reviewed the Horsetooth Swim, an event sponsored by Wingshadow and funded in the
January, 2006 session. The organization began experiencing administrative and financial difficulty.
They made the decision, without consulting the Board, to transfer the money ($2300) to Team Fort
Collins who agreed to administrate the event. Because of the legality of the contract stating that the
funds received cannot be reassigned, Ms. Hixon moved to require that the money be refunded.
Mr. Steele seconded the motion.
Passed unanimously.
