The Visitors Bureau requests a $20,754 appropriation from its available fund balance for <br />media placement advertising in magazines. During departmental budget cuts in March <br />and April, all remaining magazine ads were halted, but the department has since <br />learned that the magazines were going to pro-rate at rates that were almost as much as <br />placing the ads. This appropriation will fulfill the media placements in order to keep the <br />discounted rates. With this appropriation, $211,608 remains in the- Visitors Bureau <br />Fund's unappropriated fund balance. This budget amendment provides for the fund <br />balance appropriation of $20,754 from the Visitors Bureau Fund for the above stated <br />purpose. (See Attachment 7, column 1) <br />Housing and Community Development <br />2.

(XDS). This program income was <br />derived from repayments for second mortgages provided in the Magnolia Place <br />
