EDC approves multiple promotional grants for Bandera Natural History Museum
Summary
The EDC approved several promotional grants for the Bandera Natural History Museum including $750 for a rotating exhibit ad, $1,000 for quarterly events, and left one $2,000 spring-break request to be returned to a future agenda.
Board members considered four funding requests from the Bandera Natural History Museum and confirmed the EDC's promotional budget of $47,000 to guide distributions. S2 explained one of the four requests ($2,000 for spring-break programming) was not included in the packet and would be returned to a future meeting; S3 emphasized the group should track spending against the $47,000 cap.
The board approved $750 for rotating-exhibit advertising and $1,000 for quarterly events after motions from S1 and S4. S1 moved the rotating-exhibit funding and S4 moved approval of quarterly-events funding; S1 seconded the quarterly-events motion and S3 called the vote. S1 emphasized local economic return from events: "It's still going back into the economy even though it's not a great win," S1 said when discussing reimbursement for past events.
