Council awards $15,000 in RAP tax funding to Zion Canyon Arts & Humanities Council
Summary
Springdale approved $15,000 in RAP tax funding to Zion Canyon Arts and Humanities Council (ZARTS) for Canyon programming; council asked the Zion Canyon Art Festival applicant to return with a revised application.
The Town Council approved RAP (recreation, arts and parks) tax funding of $15,000 to Zion Canyon Arts and Humanities Council (ZARTS) during its May 13 meeting. Staff outlined policy limits — the Town expects $60,000 in RAP revenue, may allocate up to $30,000 to projects, and caps awards at 25% of anticipated RAP receipts per applicant — and recommended awards consistent with that policy.
Lizette Byers, representing ZARTS, told the Council the organization's film festival attendance increased by 40% over prior years. The Council approved the full $15,000 requested by ZARTS and asked the Zion Canyon Art Festival applicant to return with a revised application due to incomplete materials and technical difficulties during introduction.
