AGENDA ITEM 2: DISCUSS AND RECUMMEND FUNDING FOR PRQGRAM
�•� �� c���l�x�
Mayor Brock began the meeting by correcting informatian printed in the Denton Record
Chronicle. The HOT budgets published were from previous meetings and did not include
the applicant's donation to the etectronic marquee, which will not be funded in program
year 2403. In addition, with Chuck Carpenter's (President of the Denton Chamber of
Commerce) permission, the Mayor passed out copies of an email she received from
Christine Gossett, Vice President of the Convention and Visitor Bureau. Discussion
ensued in regazd ta the Convention and Visitor Bureau's services that will be cut due to
the lack of revenue and the lack of allocatian with Plan B.
Ms. DuBose reviewed the correctian found in regard to the plans in consideration. One
applicant, Cinco de Mayo Committee, would receive more than their application request
for 2003. Therefore, the budget was changed to reflect their actual request. Tlus action
released an additional $5,305. in Plan A and $ 45b7. in Plan B to be allocated. It was the
committee's decision to realfocate $5,000. ta the Denton County Museums due to their
budget being reduced last meeting to assist in funding the Downtowner Association's
convention.
The split recommendation conrinues with Mayor Brock and Council Member
Montgomery supparting plan A and Council Member Phillips and Redmon supporting
Plan B. These plans will be presented to the Council during August 8, 2002's budget
workshop.
Meeting adjourned at 9:48 a.m.
