FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL DATE: May 15, 2001FROM
Dave Siever
SUBJECT:
Resolution 2001-70 Adopting the Recommendation 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 and Programming and
Tourism accounts (Fort Fund) were adopted and approved through the City Manager's office.
The revised 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 its regular
meeting of April 25, 2001 for Tier#1 applicants.
