Council approves accommodation‑tax funding shift to support Drifter Convention after Passion Project cancellation
Summary
The council approved an accommodation‑tax funding request to support the Drifter Convention after the Passion Project event was canceled; a presenter described the convention as a women‑based group that engages in public service.
The council approved a request to allocate accommodation‑tax funding for 2024 from the Passion Project Initiative to the Drifter Convention after the Passion Project was canceled.
A speaker identified in the meeting as Mr. Frank described the Drifter Convention as a woman‑based group (not a sorority) that conducts public‑service activities; Mr. Frank said the funds were being transferred because the earlier funded event did not occur. Council members asked Mr. Frank for additional context about the convention; he said the group performs public service and represents primarily women members.
The motion to reallocate the accommodation‑tax funds was moved, seconded and carried on a voice vote. The record does not show the specific dollar amount approved for this transfer in the transcript.
