| 1 | | Agenda Item | The Veteran Affairs Transient Occupancy Tax Committee (VA TOT) will present their recommendations for the TOT Annual Grants. The Veteran Affairs Commission will vote on the TOT Annual Grants for the Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
Commissioner Mullens-Becker referred to the fiscal year 2024/2025 TOT Annual Grants table provided and reported that the TOT Committee was recommending the 2024/2025 VA TOT Annual Grant amounts be similar to the 2023/2024 Annual Grants. Mullens-Becker reported that the Military Family Support Group (MFSG) would be receiving both their 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 Annual Grants at the same time, totaling $16,000 because their TOT contract was not able to be executed in 2023/2024. Next, Mullens-Becker reported that TOT funding would be supporting a .50 FTE Office Assistant for the Veteran Services Office (as approved in the VAC July 11, 2024 VAC meeting). Next, Mullens-Becker reported that $59,803 would be allocated to the El Dorado Community Foundation for future Mini Grants. | | |
