Body
SUMMARY:
At the August 2, 2023, Downtown Development Board (DDB) meeting, Florida Best Promotions, Inc. requested a special event grant. Staff recommended providing funding in an amount not to exceed $15,000 ($10,000 for Marketing and $5,000 to cover any additional city fees that were not sponsored by Parks and Recreation.)
At this meeting the board approved allocating an additional $5,000 toward marketing costs which would make the total approved funding $20,000 ($5,000 for city fees not covered by sponsorship by Parks and Recreation and $15,000 for marketing costs). The motion did reflect only the additional $5,000for marketing to provide a total marketing budget of $15,000 but did not include the $5,000 for city fees.
