CONSIDER INTRODUCTION OF ITEMS ON FIRST READING: 'll A. A Proposal to Authorize Up to $300,000 of Sales Tax Revenue to Widen Allen Heights, Including Landscaping and Bike Lanes.

A Proposal to Authorize Up to $150,000 of Sales Tax Revenue to Fund Allen Arts Alliance Projects. Evelyn Dodson of the Arts Alliance made a presentation requesting funding for the proposed projects.

Ms. Dodson advised that about $6,000 of the budget last year was from another source, but most of that was used for operating expenses. The Alliance lost its chairman last year and has just elected new officers and they plan to begin by organizing projects, volunteers, and begin to work on expanding their program. They also plan to get educated on how to seek out grants and other funding sources.
