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 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 $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. The following disbursements from funds in the City's Cultural Development and Programming and Tourism Programming accounts were recommended by the Cultural Resources Board at its regular meeting of January 24, 2002 for Tier#2 and Tier#3 applicants.
