Council approves $1,250 follow‑up grant for Ridgeline magazine
Summary
The Westfir City Council approved the remaining $1,250 of a previously committed RTMP grant for Ridgeline magazine after a staff review of the publication's distribution and the city's RTMP account balances.
The Westfir City Council voted to release the remaining $1,250 of a previously approved RTMP grant to Ridgeline magazine, completing the applicant's earlier request. The motion to fund the outstanding half of the prior commitment was made during the meeting and carried on a voice vote.
Ridgeline's representative told the council the magazine is gaining wider exposure—``it is now in the Eugene Airport'' and staff reported the title moved 300 copies in two months. Council staff reviewed the RTMP account and said cash on hand totals approximately $18,000, and that the city would stay within available funds while verifying invoices before issuing payment. "We gave him 0.5 of that," staff said, describing the council's intention to provide the remaining half of the original request.
Council members said they appreciated the publicity and noted the applicant offered to provide digital assets and a visual carousel ad opportunity for the city. The council requested an invoice and paperwork before issuing payment and discussed placing final payment on the next regular agenda to confirm the project schedule.
