From the minutes, not yet reviewedCouncil budgets $45,000 for the City's yearly contribution to the Sports Commission.
The money comes from the City Manager's contingency fund in the General Fund. A state law bars Council members, with some exceptions, from helping award money to a nonprofit they are tied to. So the budget held this money in contingency for a separate vote. Councilwoman Turner was recused from this vote under that law.
