County approves $5,000 sponsorship for Community Foundation 5K
Summary
Commissioners approved a $5,000 sponsorship from hotel-motel (tourism) funds for the Community Foundation's Connected Communities 5K, to be an annual event on the square starting this year.
The board approved a request to sponsor the Community Foundation’s Connected Communities 5K with $5,000 paid from restricted hotel/motel tax (tourism) funds. The presiding officer said the event will be an annual run on the square and that the funding fits the community and tourism restrictions on the hotel/motel tax.
The motion was made and seconded; the board voted in favor by voice vote. The presiding officer noted the city of Shelby was also considering sponsorship and said staff would use restricted tourism funds to support the initiative.
"They're asking us to consider a sponsorship of $5,000 to go toward theirs," the presiding officer said during the presentation. "It would be paid for with hotel motel tax, which is your restricted funds."
