The Lions Club of Sebastian has again requested assistance <br />in funding their celebration this year. For many years, the County has contributed $2,500 each to <br />Sebastian and the City of Vero Beach. <br />Alternatives <br />At this time, we are requesting direction from the Board of Commissioners on providing funding for the <br />Fourth of July fireworks displays in Vero Beach and Sebastian. <br />Alternative No. 1: <br />Decline funding the fireworks displays for the Cities of Sebastian and Vero Beach in <br />light of current economic and taxing environments. <br />Alternative No. 2: <br />Approve funding the fireworks displays for the Cities of Sebastian and Vero Beach in <br />the amount of $2,500 each. Staff recommends that any contribution serve as a match <br />for the amount funded by the respective city up to $2,500. <br />Additionally, approve the attached Budget Amendment 010 and Resolution amending <br />the fiscal year 2010/2011 budget. M.S.T.U. Fund contingencies will provide funding of <br />$5,000. <br />14 <br />
