Summary

The council approved funding $13,894.48 from lodging-tax funds to support the Cheney Depot grand opening; one line item for an interpretive sign remains under legal review.

Council Member Abelman (speaker 12) described a lodging-tax committee recommendation to fund the Cheney Depot's grand opening and supporting items. He told council that the depot's grand opening was scheduled for April 25 and recommended allocating $13,894.48 in lodging-tax funds to support the event, with one interpretive-sign line item held pending additional legal review.

"They submitted an application, and I am recommending that we fund the 13,894.48," Council Member Abelman said. The lodging-tax committee and a seconding council member supported the recommendation and the council passed Resolution F486. Staff asked that the depot submit receipts for the signpost line item while legal review continues.

Council members framed the award as support for a community heritage project and encouraged residents to attend the grand opening.
