CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning a Request for Funding for the 2015 BeulahFest - Wilson B. Robertson, County Commissioner, District 1

That the Board consider the request by BeulahFest, for $20,000 from Commissioner Wilson Robertson and $5,000 from Commissioner Steven Barry, to be funded from the 4th Cent Tourist Development Tax, for a music event to be held on March 20th and 21st, 2015, at the Pensacola Interstate Fair Grounds.
BACKGROUND:

In 1986, the Beulah Fire Department held their first Beulah Sausage Festival on property located across the street.  Since that time, this annual event has not only grown in size causing the location to change on two different occassions but also the name, Beulahfest.   However, their mission remains the same:  To raise money for local charities and to provide funds needed for fire fighter training and recruitment.  This year, Beulahfest is requesting funding from the County to assist with the cost associated with hosting the 2015 BeulahFest event on March 20th and 21st, 2015, at the Pensacola Interstate Fairgrounds. 


 

BUDGETARY IMPACT:
The Board placed $250,000 in the 4th Cent Tourist Development Tax reserves.  These funds were to be allocated by the Board for events and other tourist promotion activities.
