Clearwater Jazz Holiday Funding and Multi-Year Partnership
Summary
The Clearwater Jazz Holiday Foundation requested multi-year funding support totaling $140,000 annually to help offset rising production costs and expanded free public access areas. Board members debated whether committing up to 40% of the board's ad valorem revenue to a single festival is appropriate, ultimately compromising on a two-year agreement for $130,000 and $120,000.
