Fund Disbursements.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On November 30, 1998 revised guidelines for the Cultural Development & Programming and
Tourism accounts(Fort Fund)were adopted and approved through the City Manager's office. These
newly adopted guidelines created a three-tiered funding system for organizations that apply for
grants from Fort Fund. Tier#1 was established as an annual programming fund for organizations
whose primary purpose is to present three or more public events annually. These groups may apply
for funding from Tier#1 each April. Tier#2 allows organizations that are not eligible for Tier#1
support to apply for funding of events that are not fund-raising in nature and do not generate more
than $2,500 in proceeds after expenses. Tier#3 allows organizations that are not eligible for Tier
#1 support to apply for funding of events that generate more than$2,500 in proceeds after expenses
and are fund-raising in nature. Applications for support from Tier#2 and Tier#3 are accepted each
January and June.
The following disbursements from funds in the City's Cultural Development and Programming and
Tourism accounts were recommended by the Cultural Resources Board at their regular meeting of
April 26, 2000 for Tier#1 applicants.
