This was outlined in the Bureau's proposal to the City Ms Miller expressed the Bureau's appreciation for the $3,000 allocated by the City, but respectfully declined this funding because of the contingency placed on it. When the Bureau signed contracts with Kennewick and Richland it was agreed that the Bureau would not ask for additional funding over the 50%. This makes it impossible for the Bureau to approach these cities and ask them to match the $3,000 Mayor Jackson asked Ms Miller if the condition was not placed on the $3,000 what difference, if any, would that make in the Bureau's programs? Ms Miller explained that this money would enable the Bureau to join the National Tour Association and also allow some funding to be used to put together marketing plans.
