Venue district presents $4.59M proposed budget; commissioners receive update
Summary
A representative for the Amarillo Potter Events Venue District presented a $4.586 million 2025–26 proposed budget, outlining revenue sources and planned facility improvements; the item was presented and a motion to approve was made during the meeting.
A representative of the Amarillo Potter Events Venue District presented the district's proposed 2025–26 budget and highlighted major revenue and expenditure items. The proposed $4,586,000 revenue line includes $1,277,000 from vehicle rental taxes and $2,742,000 from hotel-occupancy tax; major planned expenditures include debt service and management contracts for the Amarillo National Center and Civic Center.
The representative emphasized that the district's funds are self-generated and that none of the venue-district revenue comes from Potter County's general fund. He summarized planned projects at the Tri-State Fairgrounds area and Civic Center — fencing, grounds, HVAC and IT upgrades — and answered commissioners' questions about the projects. A commissioner moved to approve the venue-district item and a second was recorded in the transcripted segments; the transcript does not include a formal roll-call vote in the supplied excerpt.
The presentation concluded with commissioners noting the item was informational for some bodies and that the district intended to take the budget to the city council for approval as well.
