Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Since we are not sure how much the Legislature is going to appropriate to establish the Creative Communities Development Fund , it is difficult to estimate how much of these funds would have to be set aside for staff salaries and Board Member travel and per diem. The above estimate is based on the need to hire two additional staff to administer this program. Funds are also included in this estimate to cover the per diem and travel expenses of the three public Board Members to attend the bimonthly meetings required by this legislation.
Memorandum
In our experience, it would be difficult for very many communities in the State to come up with the required dollar for dollar local match to obtain one of these grants.
