On May 13 the Electric City Council approved a lodging-tax distribution totaling $60,000 to five nonprofit tourism organizations serving the Grand Coulee Dam area. The minutes record: 'A motion was made and seconded to disburse $60,000 of lodging tax money to five non-profit tourism organizations in the Grand Coulee Dam Area. M/S (Boyce/Redfield) Councilmember Buche recused himself Motion carried.'
Council also resolved two administrative items related to Coulee Area Parks and Recreation (CAPRD): the council moved to re-issue a 2024 lodging-tax reimbursement check that CAPRD did not cash (M/S Buche/Martin) and then declined a request to extend CAPRD's 2025 filing deadline for lodging-tax applications (M/S Buche/Martin) so CAPRD could not apply for 2025 funds. The minutes do not list the five recipient organizations by name or provide further breakdown of the $60,000 allocation.
