Historically the Chamber has received their LOT funds earlier in the year as they were higher on the priority list. By receiving their funds later in the year has created a cash flow issue for the Chamber. Currently they are scheduled as number 9 of 22 projects and are requesting that they move up to the number 6 position. To date five projects have been funded at $184,150 and at the current trend of funds received, the Chamber would receive this funding in late August or early September. If they were to be moved up to the number 6 position they could receive their funding by late June or early July. The three projects scheduled ahead of the ITC Grant Match are The Golf Course Fairway mower ($38,000), the Library Intern ($1,500), and TVT grant match for bus routes ($50,000). Considering the current trend for the Tourism LOT receipt it is expected that sufficient funding will be available for all FY17 Priority projects and contingency projects. Attached is the FY17 LOT Funding Summary.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Chamber’s request to be funded next on the FY17 LOT funding priority list and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
