| | Roddey seeks $375,000 in RAD funds for First Night, regatta, marathon, film office |
 | | For 2001, Roddey wants to substitute $375,000 in county sales-tax revenue, which is controlled by the RAD board, for hotel/motel tax funds that the four civic events have received in the past. |
 | | Roddey asked RAD to provide $200,000 for the film office next year, plus $100,000 for the regatta, $50,000 for the First Night event and $25,000 for the marathon. |
 | | Voros said RAD has never, in its six-year history, funded events that last just one day or a few days, which is the case with the marathon, First Night and the regatta. |
