I thought they actually talked about allowing it to continue if there were contributions to cover the cost. I'll check on that. Obviously any formal effort in this cause would need to be worked closely with the Austin City Council or City Manager at least. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Art Thompson, Jr. Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 4:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Refresh Austin: 5555] Trail of Lights Three quarters of a million dollars is a lot of money to collect in such an ad hoc manner. I think you're probably talking about starting a non-profit with that kind of budget as these are "donations" and there are reams of laws and tax codes governing these. Also, I'm not sure the CoA is looking to crowdsource the funds for Trail of Lights so you would probably need to get their buy-in unless you're aiming to "force" them to reconsider canceling it ala the Cactus Cafe uprising. -- Our Web site: http://www.RefreshAustin.org/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Refresh Austin" group.
