Money that Defiance City Council has earmarked to pay for a marketing director this year may instead be spent to help achieve the goal for which it was initially budgeted.
The $50,000 had been set aside in the 2013 budget to hire a city marketing director by the Defiance County Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) to recruit business and industry.
On Tuesday, a proposal surfaced that included taking the $50,000 line item and giving it to the CIC for the purpose of marketing Defiance only.
The $50,000 line item for the marketing director appears in the general fund under “development department”.
