City Council Meeting Minutes June 27, 2019 • Recommend holding operating expenses flat with the exception of personnel and contractual obligations Council had concerns regarding the Tanger Marketing Program and the lack of logo usage and promotional advertisement for the City, including our downtown, as per the agreement. Council consensus is to change the funding from $150,000 per year to $50,000 to the Tanger Marketing Program. Allow staff to recommend where to place the remaining $100,000 to ensure it aligns with our strategic initiatives. This recommendation will be provided at the August 1 Budget workshop. Arts Commission requested a total increase of $54,550 • $12,500 increase for Art Projects • $12,500 increase for Permanent Art • $39,550 increase to move Art Coordinator to full time from part time However, funding capacity is not available to approve this request at this time. On August 1, 2019 Council will bring back a recommendation to discuss this request and possibly use the money that remains from the Tanger Marketing Program as outlined above.
