The attached document was provided to the City
Commission during Regular Agenda Item
"601" (Part II) by Mr. Charles Lacey at the
December 15, 2008 City Commission Special
Meeting.
Winter Springs Festival of the Arts Budget
Item 601 - December 15, 2008 Special Commission Meeting
It is agreed by all parties that the Chamber is due a refund of $1,030 for the presenting sponsorship
paid to the City.
What is left to decide is how the $1,014 credit should be applied. The Commission approved "Option
Number 2 ", which stated:
"That the Chamber pay the full amount of the $1,014.00 donations it acquired for
the event to the City to be utilized for a future Town Center event, ..."
The Chamber's position is that this credit was for services to be procured by the Chamber from the
City at a future event, i.e. the Festival of the Arts. Therefore, the bill from the City should be offset
by the $1,014 credit.
To suggest that the credit should be applied to the City's expenses is to say that the credit never
existed — what good is a credit to the Chamber if it does not apply to our expenses with the City?
Paragraph #7 of Item 601 correctly states the Chamber's position: a refund of $2,044 is due the
Chamber and we ask the Commission to approve Paragraph #10, Alternative "2 ".
Thank you!
