Bill Summary R: Emerg/Amend/Approve 6-0

 

Committee members posed questions to the administration about why the City is choosing to subsidize One Spark’s operational costs and why the funding was not included in the FY13-14 budget proposal. Michael Munz, a member of the One Spark board of directors, reported that his organization had been meeting with the Mayor’s Office and City Special Events Division last year about funding needs but funds were not included in the Mayor’s budget proposal. Margo Klosterman of the Mayor’s Office reported that the Downtown Investment Authority and Office of Economic Development are contributing $25,000 apiece from their available operating funds to support One Spark activities. There was discussion of why the Main Library was not donating the space to One Spark and discussion of the library’s trust fund for operation of its meeting and special events space.
