Council approves $750 hotel-occupancy tax grant for Gem & Mineral show
Summary
Council approved a $750 hotel-occupancy tax grant to the High Plains Gem and Mineral Society to cover Civic Center rental costs after its recently held 62nd Rock and Gem Show, which staff estimated drew about 700 guests.
Communications Manager Christine Lockridge told the council two organizations had applied for HOT-fund grants and recommended approval in the absence of a meeting by the Main Street Board. For the High Plains Gem and Mineral Society, staff said the society expected about 700 guests and asked for $750 to go toward the Civic Center rental; staff recommended approval and the council approved the grant unanimously.
Mayor Pro Tem Weiss moved to approve the grant and Councilmember Rascon seconded. The council accepted the staff recommendation, noting the society had a successful 62nd Rock and Gem Show with a new vendor and community interest.
