“Cheryl Andrews MOVED that the Select Board vote to approve the FY 2019 matching Institutional marketing grant agreements with the following Four (4) Provincetown Institutions: Center for Coastal Studies (CCS), Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM), Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum (PMPM) and Provincetown Theater (PT) for up to $5,000 each as recommended by the Visitor Services Board. Robert Anthony seconded the motion Vice Chair Donegan - my question is all of the rest of the grants that we've looked at with the exception of the two 20 [thousand dollar]s those 34 grants that we've approved have had an inflation factor. How come these didn't have inflation factor? Anthony Fuccillo- This was how it was put into the 5 year plan and no one discussed increasing it. Cheryl Andrews - You're talking about potentially asking your two marketing partners to do applications. Would you also be doing applications for these? For example to give $5000 to an institution that has a huge fundraising arm and I think these all do. The distinction between these 5 that have staff that do fundraising and the PBG and the Chamber which are membership organizations and then comparing them to a lot of small groups that are fighting for every penny to breathe to keep their events going-. Chair Venden -The Center for Coastal Studies and the Provincetown Theater do not have a robust fundraising arm. Whether these five the grants are sufficient. What these organizations represent for pulling in tourism I think should be taken up by the VSB. Rick Murray - What happened when I was on the board the other entities went through the grant process. We put it into a guarantee of 5k. I would be open to changing that guaranteeing 5k every year. Some have paid staff and raise a lot of money and others don't have that capability. That would be a dialogue between you as our appointing authority so you can give us some direction on how you want us to go. Lise King-If we are going to set a precedent that a member org filled with for profit businesses and these are our key nonprofit organizations that are the soul of Provincetown and the diversity of our tourism industry as well. Maybe we should be encouraging them to make an organization like the PBG and the Chamber. Anthony Fuccillo -- Of the 5k some received less. This is first year they all got 5k. Last year they 4k. This year they got 5 as a match. Vice Chair Donegan recused himself at 8:48 pm.” (Motion: Andrews, second: Anthony)
