Representatives of the CCAC, returning for the fourth consecutive year in hopes of receiving any type of financial support, proposed a one-time gift of $75,000. In past years, similar pitches had struck out, but two commissioners voted into office over the past two years made the difference this time. Commissioner Brad Jackson, vowing to stand by an earlier campaign pledge, proposed a one-time gift of $50,000.Avis Gunter supported the measure.
