Finance committee approves $5,000 room-tax sponsorship for Fourth of July fireworks
Summary
The Wausau Finance Committee approved a budget modification to use room tax proceeds to sponsor Fourth of July fireworks, agreeing to cover the $5,000 allocation endorsed earlier by the Room Tax Commission.
The Wausau Finance Committee voted to approve a budget modification to sponsor Fourth of July fireworks, allocating $5,000 from the room tax fund.
The committee's packet notes that the Room Tax Commission considered a $10,000 request from Wausau Area Events last fall and approved $5,000 for marketing while leaving $5,000 open for a fireworks sponsorship. Committee members moved to reprogram the available room-tax funding to cover that fireworks sponsorship.
City staff confirmed the funds will come from the room tax fund. Alder Albert Gisselman moved the motion and Alder Tierney seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote.
The action is a short-term budget amendment using existing room-tax proceeds; no levy increase or borrowing was reported. No further conditions or implementation details were specified in the meeting record.
The committee proceeded to the next agenda item after the vote.
