The La Conner Town Council approved a revised hotel‑motel funding distribution on Jan. 23, adding equipment and increasing a few community-program allocations.

Finance staff told the council the fund had an estimated balance and that council direction permitted some increases. Council restored a $12,000 line for main-hall tables and chairs (the item had been cut earlier in the draft) and agreed to increase the bicycle repair-station allocation from $7,500 to the original $10,000 request so the project could be fully funded.

Council members also discussed small increases for event support and lighting and confirmed a motion to approve the revised allocation list with the changes discussed in the meeting. The motion to approve the hotel‑motel budget with the amendments was made and seconded; council approved the motion by voice vote.

Staff will finalize the allocations and update the fund balance reports. The money is expected to be distributed to cultural organizations, festival organizers and public-amenity projects under the town’s tourism fund rules.
