Council approves $2,500 from Community Support Fund for Dixon Community Theater children’s show
Summary
The council approved a $2,500 donation from the Community Support Fund toward the Dixon Community Theater’s children’s Christmas production, matching the committee’s recommendation of half the requested $5,000 maximum per organization.
The Dixon Theatrical Organization requested $5,000 from the Community Support Fund to support children’s holiday programming. City staff told the council the committee recommended funding half the request ($2,500) and explained the fund’s $5,000 per-organization annual maximum; staff said the committee’s recommendation was based on current fund balances and projected expenses.
Council members discussed prior theater activity, collaboration with the Dixon Historical Society, and possible additional fundraising by the organization. One councilmember moved to approve $2,500; the council approved the motion in a roll-call vote (5–0). Staff noted the Community Support Fund receives revenues from electric sign revenues and the current balance cited in the packet was "about 12,000."
