Summary

The board approved the 2026–27 match calendar, added an October 1 publicity start date and agreed to make limited schedule exceptions for established events; the motion passed unanimously.

The board voted unanimously to approve the proposed match calendar for the upcoming grant cycle, with a requested edit to add an October 1 start date for publicity and communications. A motion was made and seconded; the chair called for the vote and members voted "Aye" with no opposition.

Members discussed timing for tax revenue totals and scheduling follow-up meetings in February once revenue and match numbers are available. The board also agreed to allow exceptions for established events (Carnival, Manny awards) that need scheduling flexibility and to send the final calendar in the packet and to tier-1 contacts in time to allow them to prepare presentations or internal board approvals. The board asked staff to circulate the materials the Friday before meetings to allow sufficient review time.

Why it matters: Finalizing the calendar sets application windows, presentation times and publicity scheduling for the 2026–27 grant cycle, and will be shared with applicants and the city for posting on public calendars.
