Finance Committee Meeting Postponed

The Common Council Finance Committee meeting, scheduled to take place tonight at 5:30 p.m., has been rescheduled for Thursday, June 27, at 5:30 p.m. The reason being events funding.


It will be recalled that, after considerable debate, the Tourism Board transferred $20,000 of its budget to the Common Council to provide the money for event funding that had been dropped from the 2019 city budget. As in 2018, the Finance Committee was tasked with divvying up the money among community groups seeking financial support from the City for their events. Applications for funding were due last Friday, June 14. The Finance Committee meeting has been postponed to allow committee members to review the applications so that decisions can be made in time to be approved by the full Council in July.
