Organizer asks Earlham to increase match for Levitt Amp music series to $10,000
Summary
Connie Terry, representing the Levitt Amp Music Series, asked the council to consider a larger city match—about $10,000 annually—to leverage a $40,000-per-year grant over the next three years and noted potential summer date changes.
Connie Terry presented to the council on Dec. 8 on behalf of the Levitt Amp Music Series, saying the program received $40,000 per year in funding for the next three years and that local partners must match that amount. "Chicks with checks has got the Levitt Amp music series for the next 3 years with the funding of $40,000 a year and then we have to match that," Terry said, and she asked the city to consider increasing its match to about $10,000 (up from roughly $7,500 in prior years).
Terry also noted potential scheduling changes that could affect concerts near July 5 and July 26. Councilmembers acknowledged the request and said they would consider it as part of budgeting; no formal motion or appropriation was made at the meeting.
The request will likely be considered during upcoming budget sessions, when the council sets priorities and allocates local funds.
