Paonia proposes 2013 donations

At the Oct. 23 Paonia budget work session, the council discussed who and how much various organizations should receive in 2013.

The Town of Paonia separates those donations into three categories — human resources/donations, dues and subscriptions and cultural events.

Under cultural events the trustees are looking at giving $1,000 to the Mountain Harvest Festival, which is the same amount they gave last year. Pickin' Productions has not submitted a request for its summer concert series. In 2012 the town donated $600 to Pickin' in the Park.

The town is looking at donating $3,300 to the Paonia Senior Center, $500 to Grad Night, $750 to the Delta County Housing Authority, $400 to North Fork Bull Riding, $2,000 to North Fork Vision 2020, $500 to Slow Food Western Slope, $500 to Hospice, $250 to Medical Systems and $200 to Dolphin House. All of those donations are the same amounts that were approved in 2012.

Other donations being considered are $100 for KVNF and $250 for The Center for Mental Health, which had requested $500.

Dues and subscriptions requested are $250 for Delta County Economic Development, $2,590 for All Points Transit, $1,693 for Region 10, $974 for the Colorado Municipal League, $140 for the Colorado Municipal Clerks Association, $60 for Colorado Tree Coalition, $82.31 for Norton Antivirus, $75 for the Pan American Homeowners Association, $15 for the Arbor Day Foundation, $125 for the International Code Council membership and $100 for FORE Alliance.

If the council approves those amounts in the final 2013 budget, they will total $15,854.31.
