Council creates revenue fund to accept Creating Spaces mural grant match
Summary
Council approved creation of a dedicated revenue and appropriation fund to manage a Creating Spaces mural grant and matching funds; motion carried unanimously.
The Mulberry Town Council approved creating a dedicated revenue fund and appropriation to receive and manage a Creating Spaces grant and local match for a proposed mural project.
A council member explained that Bridget helped with grant preparation and that the Creating Spaces program would match funds if the town raises a $20,000 local match; the plan would fund one large mural and three smaller murals if the match and state match are secured. The council voted to set up a separate revenue and appropriation fund to keep grant and matching money distinct from other town finances.
Why it matters: Establishing a separate fund will simplify accounting and ensure grant dollars and local match are tracked separately, which is typical for state-matching cultural grants.
Next steps: Staff will create the revenue and appropriation fund and the council will track fundraising and grant confirmation; members recorded the motion as carried 5–0.
