Summary

Council voted to defer a $30,000 funding request for the Sally R. Brasley Foundation (Novafest/NOFA‑related), asking the applicant to submit documentation from prior funding before the item returns to the agenda.

Council considered a $30,000 funding request from the Sally R. Brasley Foundation for a Novafest/NOFA‑related project but chose to defer action until the foundation provides additional documentation about prior allocations.

Councilmembers said they had been told a letter addressing missing documentation would be provided and that prudence suggested deferral rather than approving without the records. The motion to defer was approved by roll call; council instructed staff to place the item on the next agenda once the documentation is received.

What happens next: the foundation is expected to provide a letter/documentation before the next council meeting; council will reconsider the request when those materials are on file.
