Kansas City Art Hannah Lodwick, presented and reviewed the new proposal for
Institute Sponsorship increasing tourism in the area. There were zip codes from Clay and
Funding Request Platte Co and will now include students outside those counties.
This will still be open to local students but they will be paying for the
class.
They will be documenting the classes with photographic media and
the Tourism commission will have access to those photos.
Funding is being requested at $5,220 for 15 students to enroll.
Other locations have been added as well. Those include Renner
Brenner Park, Briarcliff Waterfall, Riverfront Park and Homestead
Park.
Commissioner Rule asked that we look for a way to include the art
institute into the normal schedule of applications for the next funding
year.
It was also asked to see the photos that were submitted last year for
our events. Ms. Lodwick will provide those to Lori Boji.
Commissioner Locke made a motion to approve the funding for the
October class. Commissioner Rule seconded the motion. All
approved. Motion Passed.
2016 Tourism Lori Boji reviewed the Sponsorship Update for the commission. The
Sponsorship Status Special Events policy was reviewed along with the Resolution that
was passed in February allowing city staff to review and make sure all
applications are complete for compliance to the program.
The commission agreed that the two documents need to merge and
work together but some final tweaking may take place along the way.
This will allow our annual events to reserve their dates in a timely
manner.
2017 Sponsorship Mrs. Boji reviewed the 2017 Sponsorship Application Process and
Application Process Timeline for the Commissioners. All dates are set for the application
to be placed online, deadline for applications and both review dates
for the commission to allocate funding.
