Council adopts new municipal contribution application, drops third‑party audit requirement
Summary
Council approved a revised municipal contribution application form intended to standardize city donations to nonprofits, agreeing to remove a costly third‑party audit requirement that could bar small organizations.
Councilmembers reviewed a proposed municipal contribution application intended to create a consistent, auditable process for city contributions to nonprofits and event organizers. Councilman Miller and others said the form adds checks on applicants' finances and proposed removing a third‑party audit requirement after members noted such audits can cost several thousand dollars and burden small organizations.
The council directed staff to strike the third‑party audit language and to use the new master application (with a tourism checkbox where appropriate) in place of the earlier tourism-grant form. The motion to approve the revised application with suggested edits passed on voice vote.
