Council establishes $25,000 outside funding appropriation for discretionary council allocations
Summary
Council approved creating a $25,000 Outside Funding line after a friendly amendment reduced an initial $50,000 proposal; the $25,000 will be distributed as $5,000 discretionary allocations to each of five council members. The vote was unanimous, 5-0.
Councilman R. McKenrick initially moved to establish a $50,000 Outside Funding appropriation for council discretionary charitable assistance; Councilman D. Brock offered a friendly amendment to reduce the appropriation to $25,000 to provide each council member with a $5,000 discretionary allocation. The amended motion was accepted and passed unanimously, 5-0.
Council discussed separating Hospitality Tax funding from General Fund assistance, eliminating duplicate appropriations, and renaming the funding category to avoid the term 'grant.' The approved $25,000 line will be reflected in the revised budget for final reading.
