FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Jill Stilwell
SUBJECT
Resolution 2009-068 Adopting the Recommendations of the Cultural Resources Board Regarding
Fort Fund Disbursements.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Cultural Development and Programming and Tourism Programming accounts (Fort Fund)
provide grants to fund community events. This resolution will adopt the recommendations from the
Cultural Resources Board to disburse these funds.
BACKGROUND
The Cultural Development and Programming and Tourism Programming accounts (Fort Fund),
consist of a four-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 91
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 $5,000 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$5,000 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. Tier#4 was
established to further the goal of making Fort Collins a cultural center and destination. Tier #4
grants address a need in the cultural activity of Fort Collins, perpetuate the Tourism Fund by
generating over night stays in local hotels, and develop new arts, cultural, or heritage tourism
activities that have the potential to impact Fort Collins cultural and economic growth.
For the June 2009 Tier #2 and Tier #3 funding session, 24 applications were received with total
requests equaling $72,149. The Cultural Resources Board, at its regular meeting of June 24, 2009,
recommended disbursement from funds in the City's Cultural Development and Programming and
Tourism accounts totaling $44,830 to 17 applicants.
