Commissioners provisionally back Special Olympics funding and approve letter of support for community theatre grants
Summary
The board discussed funding a Special Olympics request and approved a letter of support for a community theater grant application; commissioners agreed to fund $10,000 toward Special Olympics events.
Commissioners discussed two community support items: funding for Special Olympics events and a letter of support for a community theatre’s grant application.
A commissioner recalled a previous conversation with a Special Olympics representative (Miss Hyatt) and said the organization's total budget was between $10,000 and $12,000 for the two-year effort. A motion was made to fund $10,000; the transcript shows a motion and a second and indicates the board expected to provide support. Separately, commissioners reviewed a draft letter of support for a community theatre’s grant application and moved to sign and provide the letter; board members characterized the action as non-monetary support to help the theatre seek external grant funds.
The meeting packet contained the letter being considered; commissioners said the item does not commit county funds and would only provide the requested letter of support. The transcript records motions and seconds for both items and approval of the letter of support; the Special Olympics funding motion was discussed and a dollar figure of $10,000 was placed on the floor.
