The application was scored according to the criteria and funding was denied based on the following: the event was a for profit event, details were not secure, there were no signed contracts from the performers, there were plans for a “pay at gate” performance, and; it would be a first time event with a questionable budget. MOVED BY Councillor Fougere, seconded by Councillor Walker that Halifax Regional Council refer the request to include the Great Atlantic Blues & Beyond Festival, as outlined in Table 1 Commercial Events section of the staff report dated June 9, 2008, and provide $100,000 in funding from the Marketing Levy Special Events Reserve 2008/09 budget year, to the Special Events Advisory Committee to determine if there is sufficient funding available to accommodate the request.
