Commission approves $3,500 for outreach giveaways, authorizes new prize game
Summary
The commission voted to set aside $3,500 from its annual fund for outreach supplies and to replace an oversized prize wheel; the motion passed after a brief discussion about table costs and event attendance.
The Community Multicultural Commission voted to allocate $3,500 from its annual funds for giveaways, supplies and a replacement outreach game. A commissioner moved, “I make a motion that we, set aside $3,500 for the purchase of supplies, for giveaways, including the new wheel or Plinko or whatever,” and a colleague seconded the motion; the chair called the ayes and declared the motion carried.
Members debated how much of the remaining balance should be reserved for immediate events versus the 25th anniversary planning. Commissioners noted past large giveaway orders had been roughly $1,800–$2,200 and that event tables can cost about $600 (ten seats) or $60 per individual ticket, information the commission said it would use to finalize spending priorities. The allocation directs the chair and city secretary to proceed with ordering within that approved limit.
