The allocations were made available based on 2020 hotel occupancy tax collections.Â
An example of lower hotel occupancy in the city in the pandemic year of 2020, the amount awarded to organizations by council members was $144,141 less than the previous year.
City ordinance requires 15% of hotel occupancy tax collections annually allocated to enhance city arts and cultural organizations and programs.
The Arts Commission met on April 6 and the Heritage Commission met on April 8 to review qualified applications and make recommendations to council members on the disbursement of their funding.
The councilâs action authorizes the city manager to execute contracts with the organizations for disbursement and use of funding.
