MISCELLANEOUS & HERITAGE 02-11-08
The Board considered the approval of a request from DMI (Destination Management Inc,) and Watkins Museum Board of Directors for $18,000 for support of DMI oversight of the management of Watkins Museum. Judy Billings, President and CEO of DMI, was present for the discussion.
Johnson asked for clarification that the request was a one-time request. They are not asking the Commission to make a commitment to the annual budget. Billings confirmed that statement is correct.
Jones asked if DMI has taken a formal step to request that County tax support for historical societies be funneled through DMI. Billings stated that is the next step. Jones commented he d s not think the money should be issued until a formal funding process has been set up.
Johnson opened the item for public comment.
Jones moved approval to allocate a one-time lump sum in the amount of $18,000 to DMI for oversight of the management of the Watkins Museum with the stipulation that the money not be released until DMI brings to the County Commission some sort of mechanism whereby all of the funding g s through DMI to the Heritage organizations under that umbrella. Motion was seconded by McElhaney and carried unanimously.
