Action was taken on this bill first on agenda.

 

Council President reported that One Spark contacted administration in May requesting funding of $50,000 and to date no response.  He suggested One Spark be a part of the budget process to alleviate the Library being sole funding source, emergency cycle, and withdrawal from Council Contingency Fund. CP Gulliford commented that One Spark’s request from the City of $50,000 was outside of funds from other sources.  He shared that OED was contributing $25,000 to One Spark.

 

CM Boyer reported that DIA had committed to providing $25,000 to One Spark. She suggested that council members on Finance Committee next year should make sure that events such as One Spark that target downtown be included in the special events budget.
