Hi Ariel!

 

Ours is from the City only and we went to City Council and asked for a specific cut of the funds. 

 

Yours,

Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] TLT Funding Question

 

Hello OMS folks,

This question is specifically for programs that receive funding from their city/county TLT. Based on the 2023 Budget Survey that includes Albany, Astoria, Milton-Freewater, Monmouth, North Bend, Port Orford, and Tillamook.

 

Can you help me by answering how you are part of those budgets? Is your TLT ordinance just for the City or County, or both? Are you in a dedicated budget line or do you have to request funds regularly? Was your program written into the local ordinance or is it more of a request/grant program that you are receiving TLT funds? How does it work for y'all?

 

For context, Baker City Downtown is exploring dedicated budget line item funding from various places (City, County, TLT, and EDC), and this question has come up in conversation with TLT leadership. Currently, we have a County TLT ordinance only, and BCD is able to make event marketing grant requests up to $5,000, though they are phasing these out and instead transitioning event organizers to working solely with their contracted Marketing Director for support with marketing alone.

 

Looking forward to hearing from y'all, and if I'm missing any program that received funding please feel free to chime in too!

Thanks for your help,

Ariel
