Commissioner Eggert thought that it would be very difficult <br />for those two groups to raise the funds to cover this maintenance. <br />She felt that this item should be covered with tourist tax funds. <br />Since the City will cover the maintenance through the end of the <br />fiscal year, we need a short-term solution until the request can be <br />submitted to the Tourist Development Council next year. <br />Commissioner Macht suggested an adjustment of the parks and <br />recreation budget to cover this expense for one partial year. <br />Chairman Bird noted that the City is taking it out of their <br />recreation budget because taxes are not paid by Riverside Theater <br />and the Center for the Arts. <br />Mayor Smith explained that at their last budget session they <br />had to cut staff which included a 4 -man crew which does this work. <br />County Attorney Vitunac advised that the Tourist Development <br />Council could declare this a one-time emergency which could not <br />have been presented earlier. <br />Chairman Bird stated that they should first approach the <br />Tourist Development Council, and if they are denied, they can then <br />approach the Board. If all that fails, we still have time to <br />consider it. <br />There being no further business, on Motion duly made, seconded <br />and carried, the Board adjourned at 4:50 P. M. <br />ATTEST: <br />J. rton, Clerk <br />13 <br />Richard N. Bird, Chairman <br />BOOK 89 FAG- 6® <br />
