DONATION - CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
President Domer declared the special meeting convened and explained the
purpose of the special meeting: To discuss donating funds to the 0keechobee
Chamber of Commerce for 1975-76.
Councilman Betts reported that in 1975-76, the City Council didn't budget
any funds to donate to the Chamber of Commerce due to the Attorney General's
opinion that Cities couldn't donate to the Chamber or use any funds for the
purpose of advertising, but since further investigating, has found out that
the Council can donate funds through other sources.
Attorney Conlon stated that if the request from the Chamber specifies
the donation will be used for a community purpose that will be specifically
used to serve the entire community.the City can donate to them.
Mrs. Myrtle Clemens, Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, appeared
requesting a donation of $15OO.00 to be used for Christmas decoration and
for beautifying the park.
Following further discussion, Councilman Betts moved to adopt a Resolution
donating $1,000.00 for park improvement and $500.00 for Christmas decorations
to the 0keechobee Chamber of Commerce with the stipulation that the Chamber
verify how the funds are spend, seconded by Councilman Bass and vote carried.
