Commission approves $5,000 aid allocation to Dunedin Middle School band boosters for kilts
Summary
The Dunedin City Commission voted Oct. 23 to allocate a remaining $5,000 in the aid‑organization budget to the Dunedin Middle School band booster organization to assist with band attire (kilts) as part of fiscal year 2026 aid awards. The allocation was approved by voice vote and staff confirmed the funds were available.
The Dunedin City Commission on Oct. 23 approved using a remaining $5,000 balance in the city’s aid‑organization budget to assist the Dunedin Middle School band booster organization with purchase of band attire (kilts).
Vice Mayor Jeff Gall and other commissioners discussed the request and staff confirmed an available remaining balance of $5,000 in the aid‑organization allocation for fiscal year 2026. Commissioners noted the booster club intends to phase purchases over time and that the city has previously used aid‑organization funding for similar cultural or civic support requests (for example, past purchases for the pipe band drum covers).
A motion to allocate the $5,000 was made and carried by voice vote; commissioners present voted Aye and the motion passed. Staff said the aid‑organization budget can be used for such requests and will continue to be available for future competitive requests in subsequent budget cycles.
Commissioners emphasized that future requests will compete against other needs and that recurring assistance is not guaranteed; staff confirmed the $5,000 is currently available in FY26.
