Legislature approves $9,192 tourism administrative amendment to advertising budget
Summary
The legislature's committee approved administrative amendment 25a22, moving $9,192 back into the tourism advertising budget after clarifying the money's permitted use.
Putnam County legislators approved administrative amendment 25a22 to return $9,192 to the county's tourism advertising budget.
Committee discussion focused on the permitted use of the funds and whether money transferred to the state tourism program could be used only for advertising outside the county. One committee member said the county portion of tourism funds "can only be used for advertising outside of the county" if transferred to the state program; another sought to ensure the county's share remain available for county promotion and to address tourism impacts on local communities.
After clarification the committee agreed the funds would be returned to the county advertising budget. The committee chair called for approval and members voted in favor by voice vote.
Ending: The approved administrative amendment will return $9,192 to the county's tourism advertising allocation under the county budget process.
