Port Richey advisory committee approves $200 increase for fishing‑tournament snack budget
Summary
Committee voted to raise the Centennial events snack budget for fishing‑tournament giveaway bags by $200, bringing the line item to $600 to cover snacks and related supplies.
The Port Richey Citizens Advisory Committee voted to increase the snack budget for the fishing tournament’s giveaway bags by $200, raising the allocation from $400 to $600.
A committee member moved to increase the snack allocation and a second was recorded; the chair called for the vote and members signaled assent. Chairman John Eric Hoover announced, “Motion carries,” after committee members voiced “aye.”
Why it matters: The snack funding supports giveaway bags being prepared for tournament participants (organizers estimated making about 40–50 bags initially, with materials bought in bulk). Committee members discussed procurement options — using city purchasing (credit card or invoice), having staff pick up items, or letting volunteers purchase and submit receipts — and recommended coordinating purchases through staff to simplify accounting.
Committee discussion also covered related event purchases: measuring sticks for fish measurement have been ordered, sponsors contributed water and other items, and staff and volunteers will finalize how bags are assembled and distributed at the tournament. The committee directed staff to coordinate payment and to provide invoices or receipts to reconcile the expense line.
