Committee accepts voluntary $1,000 reduction from local guitar program to limit impact on arts awards
Summary
The committee acknowledged a voluntary $1,000 cut offered by a grantee (Nick Hurt, guitar program) and factored that reduction into the package of cuts approved to close a $26,500 funding gap.
During the worksheet review, the Chair reported she had spoken with Nick Hurt, who had obtained additional sponsorship and "says that if we take 1,000 of his promotion, the arts money out, he can carry on his program as planned." Committee members counted that voluntary deduction among three voluntary reductions the panel accepted.
Members noted voluntary deductions reduced the amount they needed to take from other awards and helped keep program impacts lighter. The committee included the voluntary cuts in the motion it passed by voice vote; the motion text recorded acceptance of three voluntary deductions and an across-the-board advertising/sporting cut.
