MOTION TO DISCUSS potential changes to the Cultural Division’s Arts & Cultural Festival and Special Event Sponsorship program (Program) guidelines to obtain Board direction as to its interest in permitting County Commissioners and their offices to apply for funding of events through the Program.

Broward County is considering potential changes to the guidelines for its Arts & Cultural Festival and Special Event Sponsorship program. The County Commission will discuss if Commissioners and their offices should be allowed to apply for event funding through this program. This item is currently pending discussion and is early in the public process. If approved, this could lead to new events being planned and potentially require services for event planning, promotion, and execution. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields such as event management, marketing, and potentially construction or venue services could find opportunities. Reaching out to county staff or the Cultural Division now, before any final decisions are made on the program guidelines, could provide an advantage in understanding future needs.
