Specifically, the bill required the State Fire Marshal to coordinate with the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA), the New Mexico Finance Authority (NMFA), the Office of the State Treasurer (STO), the New Mexico Municipal League (NMML), and the New Mexico Association of Counties (NMAC) to: > develop a schedule for making periodic allotments that takes into consideration documented financial hardship of county fire districts and municipalities as a result of transitioning from a one-time distribution to periodic allotments; > ensure that any debt obligations of existing or previously existing fire departments or fire districts are met on a timely basis; > ensure the ongoing operations of fire departments and fire districts by providing technical assistance to counties and municipalities on transitioning to an accrual accounting basis for the fire protection fund; > submit the final determination and certification of needs and schedule for periodic allotments to the legislative finance committee by July 1, 2017; and > by June 30, 2018, ensure that county fire districts and municipalities have fully transitioned to operating on an accrual accounting basis. 18884ASKPRC www.nmprc.state.nm,us Work’far You’!

Will be conducting his own survey (Jennifer is providing him with templates) Committee recommendation: 10,000 (same as last year) Lions Club of Gallup Rodeo Committee wants to see the results of who comes to the events-both spectator and participant Jeremy- wants to know how the other lions clubs in the region are connected. He recommended they do much more with social media. We discussed with them the need for them to focus their efforts entirely on the 70th annual rodeo, instead of a lot of smaller lead up events (avoiding events that are “commercials” in themselves) and that they needed two marketing plans- one for spectators and one for contestants. Committee recommendation: 25,000 (same as last year) Gallup Film Festival Based on 2016 report this event generates the same overall economic impact as the exact same budget of the event, and only generated about $289 in Lodgers Tax Revenues. Estimated GRT from the event was $3888 He chose not to answer which regions he would like to market outside of what was listed in his application. He was asked for that information on July 14, and was asked to provide more and has been asked to provide a more detailed marketing plan based on the size of his ask. Yogash- recommended email of new budget by Friday Committee Abstains from Voting Committee is not clear on whether wrapping the bus and trailer are quabjiable expenses and leaves that decision up to council. TDFL Increase is based on new teams from coming out of town. More trophies and more. 190 invitations went out (that’s in teams at leagues). Significant email based marketing. Committee Recommends: 12500 (increase from last year but down from 3 years ago) Gal IupARTS Second Street Festival: Been seeing small slow growth and thinks they can grow in both vendors and in attendees Very detailed marketing plan and approach for growth targeting both vendors and customers of the Festival Committee Recommends: 9000 (increase from last year 5k) BBBS Bowl for Kids Sake Biggest impact: food/gas Event may grow into a 2 day event Cannot market significantly out of the region because of conflict with other regions.

The Gallup Film Festival is an annual event. The use of the Gallup Lodgers’ Tax Grant money is the only outside source of funding available to the Gallup Film Festival LLC for hosting the event. Other sources of revenue include ticket sales which are priced affordably to increase participation. The other source of revenue is sponsorship advertisement at the three-day event. The Gallup Film Festival LLC is largely dependent upon the Gallup Lodgers’ Tax Grant money to promote, facilitate, and host the three-day event. With the assistance of the tax grant the Gallup Film Festival has grown. In other host cities where film festival are an annual event, the businesses within the city are largely involved in an event that increases revenue sales throughout the event and for the businesses within the city. It is the hope of the Gallup Film Festival the event in each proceeding year will grow with increased participation of the events to come. 7/18/2017 City of (allup Mail received application - ‘\ CITY OF ) GALLU p Jennifer Lazarz <jlazarz@gallupnm.gov> deceived application 1 message Jennifer Lazarz <jlazarz@gallupnm.gov> En, Jul 14, 2017 at 9:16 AM To: Knifewing Segura <zobiureachgmail.com> Bcc: Maryann Ustick <mustickgallupnm.gov>, JM DeYoung <jdeyounggallupnm.gov> Hi Knifewing, As I’m going over your application I just need you to know a few things: You submitted a completely filled out event evaluation.

The Committee is grateful that you supplied a marketing plan. While not directly asked for in the application, they felt that in order for you to have your best chances with City council it was an important asset for your time with the council given the sum of your request. The committee also felt that a marketing plan expands upon your answer page 7 number 2 of the application Describe the specific ways in which you plan to use a lodgers tax grant award to advertise/promote/market your event” in which you answered “The lodger’s tax will be used primarily for press and promotion for media purchases through print, broadcast, and electronic media throught the surrounding region” as well as your answer to number 3 “Describe the regions/cities in which you plan to market your event?” and your answer was ‘Marketing efforts will include Gallup, and the surrounding 150-200 mile radius including the Pueblos of Zuni A coma, Laguna, and the Navajo Nation.” The marketing plan supports your in person comments that you are actually planning on expanding your marketing significantly beyond that region, including other film festivals. Again, the objective of the committee is to help the community and as such help you with the direction of the funding because you have a valuable event to Gallup and they wanted you to be prepared for your time with Council. The committee is submitting that they are abstaining from a vote on your application due to your comments that regardless of their recommendation you are planning on asking for more than they can recommend to council. Your funding amount will be subject to City Council Discussion on August 8, 2017. They will have copies of your application and budget, as well as notes from the lodgers tax meeting regarding suggestions from the committee for you. Thank you for your application, and please plan on attending August 8 at 6pm.
