The full story

The council considered a request from the Human Rights Commission for up to $250 to support participation in the Water Tower Festival (a booth with informational materials, a pinata and supplies). The city attorney noted that commissions generally are not supposed to solicit donations; council members asked staff to clarify whether a booth fee or other costs would apply and to have the commission chair present an itemized request.
