DATE:July  17, 2019
 



SUBJECT:REFERRAL TO THE JULY 19, 2019 FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE MEETING TO CONSIDER FUNDING FOR THE FILM, TELEVISION AND PHOTOGRAPHY STRATEGIC PLAN.

ANALYSIS

Please place on the July 17, 2019 City Commission Agenda a referral to the July 19, 2019 Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) meeting to consider funding for the Tourism and Culture Department’s “Film, Television and Photography: Strategic Plan”.

Top level costs for the Plan include:

• Sizzle Reel – Production - $5,000
• Sizzel Reel – Marketing - $5,000
• Marketing Campaign - $3,500 (with some flexibility)
• Industry Event - $7,500
• Resident Town Hall - $0.00
  Total - $21,000.00

 

Currently, the Tourism and Culture Department has $90,000 in Film Incentive Grants for program incentivizing which could potentially be used to allot the $10,000 needed to create the Sizzle Reels component.

 

Attached is LTC 400-2019 with the full Strategic Plan and a unanimously adopted motion by the Production Industry Council fully supporting the provision of the financial resources necessary to realize the plan.

 

For additional questions, please contact my office at extension 26437.
