BILL
SUMMARY R: Amend/Approve
1-6 F: Amend/Approve AMEND/APPROVE
3-3 (FAILED) (BOYER, GULLIFORD, SCHELLENBERG) Two amendments were added to the Finance Committee
amendment: (1) providing that any residual funds would revert back to this
account; (2) provides that the private funds would have to be exhausted
before the expenditure of public funds. Mr. Gary Thomas of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Foundation
gave the Committee
an overview of the parade budget that he had furnished the
Members. Council Member Boyer was concerned that language in bill
indicated that the funds appropriated were for support of the parade; the
budget that Mr. Thomas provided referenced funding for Metro Park activities. Janice Billy noted that the Finance Committee amendment to
the bill provided that the funds would be used for the parade and related MLK
day expenses. Council Member Brown indicated that private-public
partnership funding for the parade was being sought In questioning Mr. Thomas, Council Member Schellenberg
indicated that he was disappointed that more information on the parade and
funding had not been provided sooner.
He asked Mr. Thomas to provide more information on the actual number
of attendees at past parades (preferably JSO estimates), the specific school
bands that would be participating and members of the MLK board. Sarah Ausherman of Special Events provided the Committee
with additional background on the City’s involvement with the parade. Council Members Brown, Carter and Lumb voted in the
affirmative on passage of the bill, as amended; Council Members Boyer,
Gulliford and Schellenberg voted to oppose. |
