SUBJECT :
Resolution 2003-066 Adopting the Recommendations of the Cultural Resources Board
Regarding Fort Fund Disbursements.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On November 30, 1998, revised guidelines for the Cultural Development & Programming and
Tourism Programming accounts (Fort Fund) were adopted and approved through the City
Manager's office. These 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 $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.
Disbursements from funds in the City's Cultural Development and Programming and Tourism
Programming accounts as shown on Exhibit "A" to the Resolution, were recommended by the
Cultural Resources Board at its regular meeting of April 23, 2003 for Tier#1 applicants.
