body

BRIEF OVERVIEW

The Board of County Commissioners has directed the Tourism Department to provide $50,000 in sponsorship support for Hernando County’s portion of the America 250 Celebration.  The County Attorney’s Office has determined that such sponsorship is an allowable use of Tourist Development Tax funds pursuant (see attached).

 

Because the current sponsorship budget has been fully expended, a budget amendment is necessary to move $50,000 from reserve.
