Last year, the council trimmed the 2006-07 big-group grants by 10 percent, reducing the total to $3 million. Funding for small- and midsized-group grants nearly vanished last summer, when county staff reduced the budget to align with proposed property tax cuts.

The County Commission voted to pay for the programs by drawing equally from the bed tax and general revenue. County Administrator Bob Weisman said he hasn't yet formulated his recommendations for next year's arts funding, but "a reduction will be recommended," he said. "I can't say how large a reduction it will be." Earlier this month, a council panel reviewed midsized-group applications for 2008-09 and recommended funding for 15 organizations. Small-group applications will be judged in about a week. Allocations for big groups, which are midway through a two-year grant cycle, will be trimmed this summer, Blades said.

The Palm Beach County Tourist Development Council, which must approve bed-tax funded grants, endorsed the reductions earlier this month. Funding recommendations for all three programs will go to the County Commission for approval later this year. Sue Ellen Beryl, managing director of Palm Beach Dramaworks, views the cuts with resignation. The theater has been recommended for a $22,763 grant $14,672 less than it received last year. "We're grateful for anything we get, but to receive so much less than we had last year is disappointing," she said.

jsjostrompbdailynews.com The change would ease the strain on general revenue, hard-hit by property tax cuts and slumping property values, Blades said. Small-group grants, which are financed by general revenue, can't be paid for by the bed tax because the organizations typically don't serve tourists, she said Bed taxes must be spent to promote tourism. The redistribution may limit the erosion of cultural funding, but it can't elim-inale it.
