*Promotional Reserve funds are budgeted for promotional opportunities that may arise which were unknown when
developing the SMP. To the greatest extent possible, such opportunities will be presented to the TDC for recommendation
to the BCC for approval in advance. However, these funds may be appropriated in accordance with County approval
authority and with concurrence of the TDC Chairman if an opportunity would be lost due to the timing of regular TDC and
BCC meetings. In such case, the TDC and BCC will be apprised of the use of these dollars at their next regularly scheduled
meetings.
