Authorizing a tourism development sponsorship agreement with Ragtag Film Society for the 2026 True/False Film Festival.

This resolution authorizes the City Manager to sign a tourism development sponsorship agreement with the Ragtag Film Society for $20,000 to support the 2026 True/False Film Fest. The festival, scheduled for March 6-9, 2026, is expected to draw over 10,000 attendees and host more than 150 filmmakers, artists, and musicians. The funds will be used for travel expenses of filmmakers, advertising and promotions, printed materials, and support for art installations and interactive exhibits that enhance the visitor experience. This marks a continuation of a long-standing sponsorship, with similar agreements authorized in previous years.
