At the city council's government operations committee meeting on Feb. 6, alderpersons recommended approval of a $50,000 funding request for the St. Charles History Museum, which is what the museum received last year. The funds for the History Museum are derived from the city's hotel-motel tax revenue stream.
The board last year also funded additional hours for the museum's collections manager position, which will help in making sure the museum's artifacts are preserved correctly. "We basically show youngsters the things that prairie pioneers brought with them when they came here in the old Conestoga wagons," Gibson said."We're going to do 1930s plants, which kind of ties into the era of roughly when the museum was created," he said.
Alderpersons also recommended approval of a $698,600 funding request for the St. Charles Business Alliance, which is what the organization received last year. The funds come from two sources -- $265,000 of anticipated proceeds from special service area 1B and $436,600 from the city's general fund.
