SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

Senate Bill 1001 appropriates $25,000 from the general fund to the Cultural Affairs Department

(DCA) in FY06 to contract for a flamenco dance performance for the tricentennial celebration of

the City of Albuquerque.

Significant Issues

The City of Albuquerque was founded on April 23, 1706. The City is currently planning a

Tricentennial Celebration that will be a thirteen-month gala event starting in early April 2005

ending in April 2006. The Albuquerque Tricentennial Committee is planning a diverse calendar

of events over this time, including parades, festivals, concerts, re-enactments, lecture series, art

exhibits, educational activities, sporting events and more. The Tricentennial Committee will be

highlighting the rich cultural diversity. The City of Albuquerque hopes to instill a renewed cul-

ture in the State's multicultural society and inspire an appreciation of New Mexico's history. The

funding in this bill will help highlight one aspect of the many cultures that comprise the city of

Albuquerque.

The event will appeal to visitors from other states and from abroad, with positive impacts on the

state’s tourism industry.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

The appropriation of $25,000 contained in this bill is a non-recurring expense to the general

fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY06 would revert to

the general fund.

CONFLICT, DUPLICATION, COMPANIONSHIP, RELATIONSHIP

SB1001 relates to HB895 which would appropriate $1.5 million to DCA for education about and

promotion and operation of Albuquerque’s Tricentennial celebration.

TECHNICAL ISSUES

If multiple legislators wish to appropriate funds for the Tricentennial, it might be useful to ap-

propriate the funds to one agency. SB1001 would appropriate to the Cultural Affairs Department

for this purpose; HB895 would appropriate to DFA.
