Proposal for allocation of Room Tax Funds <br /> Manager noted proposal for percentage distribution of Room Tax Funds received I-A-2 <br /> from Council subcommittee Keller, Haws, and Murray: 10% to Auditorium Fund; <br /> 25% to Chamber of Commerce Tourist Information Service; 10% to Historic <br /> Preservation; 10% to Parks Acquisition and Improvement Fund; 10% to Symphony <br /> Programs; and 35% to other tourist related, recreational, and cultural programs. <br /> Councilwoman Beal returned to the meeting. <br /> Councilman Keller explained that the purpose at this time was to gather informa- <br /> tion and get a reaction to the proposal, not to take final action. Councilman <br /> Murray agreed with that course, saying it was important to have reaction on the <br /> proposal for discussion with the Room Tax Committee prior to any action. <br /> Public hearing was opened. <br /> Jon Silvermoon, 47~ West 25th Avenue, felt some of the people actually delivering <br /> cultural activities - performers, artists, etc. - should be represented on the <br /> Room Tax Allocation Committee. Also, that some of the funds should be used to <br /> purchase works of art, thereby subsidizing local talent and supporting a good <br /> artistic 'communi ty in the city. <br /> Don McNeil, speaking for the Chamber of Commerce convention bureau, was in favor <br /> of the proposed approach for equitable distribution of room tax funds. Even <br /> though it would mean "pinching" the Chamber's budget, he said, ~hey would find a e <br /> way to make their dollars go further. He commented on the new convention business <br /> brought in since formation of the Convention Bureau along with the help of other <br /> funding sources. Mr. McNeil asked, however, if it would be appropriate for the <br /> Chamber to apply for room tax funds in excess of the percentage proposed should <br /> unexpected special events require funding not anticipated. <br /> 10/25/76 - 2 501, <br />
