Summary
Staff reported current spending of $4,455 against a $5,000 limit and discussed an American '250' grant opportunity for 2026 with a July 9 application deadline; face-painting costs and postcard mailing were noted as pending expenses.
Staff presented the festival budget status and said the committee had spent $4,455 to date against a $5,000 limit, leaving roughly $500 in contingency. "I'll put that in the packet I did. $4,455 is where we're at," the Staff member reported, and members discussed that face painting and postcard mailings could affect the remaining contingency.
Separately, staff noted a grant opportunity mentioned in the transcript as the "America $2.50 grant" for 2026 with a July 9 deadline; Melanie was looking into the grant and committee agreed to forward relevant information to the fireworks committee and explore sponsorships rather than cash solicitation, per municipal rules about donations and sponsorships.
