Commissioners debate whether to increase Chamber funding in Coats draft budget
Summary
Commissioner Jerry Beasley suggested equal funding for all nonprofits and opposed increasing the Chamber's allocation; Commissioner Kelvin Gilbert noted a prior consensus favored increasing the Chamber's amount while Commissioner Shirley Allen said Senior Center funding is sufficient.
During the April 28 reconvened budget work session, Commissioner Jerry Beasley suggested giving all nonprofits the same allotment and opposed increasing the Chamber's allocation. Commissioner Shirley Allen said the current funding for the Senior Center was adequate, while Commissioner Kelvin Gilbert reminded colleagues that commissioners at a prior meeting had favored increasing the Chamber's allocation.
Town Manager Barbara Hollerand summarized the prior discussion and indicated the budget could revisit line items as needed. The Board did not adopt final nonprofit allocations at the session; the matter remained under consideration as staff finalizes budget recommendations.
