Commission has $5,000 earmarked from crab feed fund for community events
Summary
Commissioners noted the city approved moving $5,000 from a crab feed fund into the parks/community-events budget; that money could subsidize programs such as the proposed yoga pilot, though formal allocation requires action when a quorum is present.
Commission members reported that the city previously approved transferring $5,000 from the crab feed fund into a community-events or parks budget that could be used to underwrite programs. One commissioner summarized the prior council action and urged the commission to plan how much of that existing balance it may want to allocate to events in the coming budget year.
Speakers emphasized that while funds are available, the commission cannot make a binding appropriation today because it lacks a quorum. Staff encouraged commissioners to prepare requests and budget line items to present when the commission meets with a full membership. "We were approved for to take $5,000 from our... crab feed fund or budget and move that into funds that we could use for this and for other things," a commissioner said. The commission discussed using the existing funds for a pilot program and how much to request in the next budget cycle.
