TITLE
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF $ 5000.00 FROM THE
CONTINGENCIES ACCOUNT IN THE 2008 GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO THE OUT
OF CYCLE REQUESTS TO FUND THE INDEPENDENCE FILM FEST OF
COLORADO'S 2008 INDEPENDENCE FILM FEST
ISSUE
The Independence Film Fest of Colorado has requested financial assistance from the
City for their 2008 Independence Film Fest, which was held in Pueblo September 26 -28,
2008. The festival celebrates films as they were made in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s and
shows film location scouts around the communities that participate in the festival the
tremendous locations and resources of that particular community. Filmmaker Lawrence
Foldes, who runs the Fest, believes the Pueblo Union Depot, HARP, and Robert Hoag
Rawlings Public Library offer great venues for both movie making and movie reviewing.
This would give the community of Pueblo the opportunity to show off its amenities and
cultural highlights for potential movie industry projects. Furthermore, due to scheduling
conflicts with the Arts Center, the 2008 Independence Film Festival utilized Memorial
Hall for this event. On July 14, 2008, the City Council passed a resolution stipulating
the Independence Film Festival would receive an amount no less than $5,000 and up to
no more than $10,000 for this event. This Resolution will designate the amount upon
Council's approval.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $ 5000.00 will be transferred from the Contingencies Account in
the 2008 General Fund Budget (see attached spreadsheet for the balance in the
contingencies account).
