Toledo History Center asks council to consider funding; museum reports $6,000/year TRT support
Summary
Brenda Brown reported the Toledo History Center and a railroad museum receive county transient lodging tax (TRT) distributions and requested quarterly funding from the city; she confirmed the museum receives $6,000 per year in biannual TRT payments.
Brenda Brown, speaking for the Toledo History Center and the Aquinnah Pacific Historical Railroad Society, told council the organizations have been added to the county's TRT distribution and are requesting quarterly funding support from the city. During questioning about county TRT disbursements, Brown said, “We do receive some county money, TRT money,” and clarified that the payments amount to $6,000 per year, disbursed biannually.
City staff explained the normal process: the presentation will be placed on the March 4 agenda for a formal appropriation if council reaches consensus. Council indicated preliminary consensus to move the request forward for an action item at the March 4 meeting so staff can prepare the necessary appropriation paperwork and supporting documentation.
