Council schedules finance committee review of video-gaming donation applications
Summary
Council members reported on the video-gaming donations program: applications closed in September, the program caps donations at $10,000 per applicant with a $100,000 program cap, and the finance committee will meet Oct. 28 to review applications and make recommendations to the council.
Council members reported updates on the city's video-gaming donations program and scheduled a finance committee meeting to review applications.
A council member said the program allows a maximum donation of $10,000 per applicant with a total program cap of $100,000 and that the application deadline was in September. The council scheduled a finance committee meeting for Oct. 28 at 5:45 p.m. to review applications and make recommendations to the full council.
One council member asked whether the committee recommendation would be “all or nothing” or whether the council would consider individual awards. Alderman Cook said the finance committee will make a recommendation to the council; the council may discuss distribution and choose to approve individual awards or adopt the committee's recommendation. No final awards were approved at the meeting.
Council members indicated that the finance committee's recommendation will be discussed at a future council meeting and that they expected the committee to screen applications and forward its recommendations for council action.
