Strip Cathy Boring Bryan Thurman Mr. Strip called the meeting to order at 7:25 p.m. on Tuesday, June 6. Discussion followed about the rationale for granting money to the Nicklaus Museum, including the many contributions the golf course has made toward the development of Dublin as it is known today. Hotel/Motel Tax Applications 1. I-270/U.S.33/S.R. 161 Interchange Landsc~inq This application submitted by the City was discussed, and Mr. Strip stated that a full Council discussion regarding their philosophy on use of bed tax dollars would be helpful to make a recommendation on this application. Mrs. Boring indicated that she cannot justify this kind of expenditure for one interchange landscaping. She believes that this application should be reviewed in the context of the capital budget discussions. She is strongly opposed to the use of bed tax dollars for this project. Following further discussion, it was determined that a recommendation will be made to Council to deny the request for interchange landscaping funding. 2. Golden Bear International Three Tour Challenae Mr. Strip emphasized that Wendy's, the sponsor of this event is a good corporate neighbor and supporter of Dublin. Mrs. Boring noted that this should be reviewed by the entire Council. She added that this event is a for-profit event and does not think government entities should provide funding. Mr. Strip added that another consideration is the national exposure this event brings to Dublin which is an important part of the economic development program. But since the Committee members are divided on this issue, he will bring this to the entire Council for a philosophical discussion. 3. Dublin Area Art League The Committee will recommend a grant of $750 of their requested $1,250. Finance Committee of Dublin City Council June 6, 1995 Page Two 4.
