Council approves $3,000 RTMP grant for "Concerts in the Park"
Summary
After a presentation by Kevin Goldblum, the City Council approved a $3,000 RTMP grant to Concerts in the Park (a nonprofit festival operator) to support a single-day concert series; councilors discussed prior awards and the RTMP account balance before voting.
Kevin Goldblum, president and treasurer for Concerts in the Park and an officer of the Community Festival Association, described plans for a single-day concert beginning at 2 p.m. with three 90-minute sets and local vendors. He said the nonprofit re-invests event receipts into the community and asked Westfir to contribute up to $3,000 in RTMP funding to help cover production costs.
Council members discussed RTMP account availability (clerks reported approximately $5,400 remaining of an $18,100 appropriation) and past awards (the city gave $2,500 in 2024). After a short discussion the mayor moved and council approved a $3,000 grant. The clerk asked the group to provide an invoice to complete processing. "Thank you very much," Goldblum said after the motion carried.
