Approve Chamber of Commerce Budget - YES

Every year, the Town Council is responsible for reviewing and approving the budget of Corte Madera's Chamber of Commerce, because the Chamber is funded in part with Corte Madera tax dollars. While there were no significant changes from last year's budget, it is worth noting that in a challenging year (the hotel tax revenue that funds the Chamber still hasn't recovered from the pandemic), the Chamber was able to realize $15,000 in savings by finding creative ways to keep their expenses down. I’m a proud supporter of our Chamber of Commerce and the vital role it plays in promoting both community and economic development!
