LETHBRIDGE – The Executive Director and CEO of the Galt Museum and Archives is asking for an additional $74,500 in its 2019-2022 Operating Budget. That’s not including any initiatives the organization hopes to implement.
At Monday’s Finance Committee Meeting Susan Burrows-Johnson and Board of Directors Chair Tracy McNab made the presentation, along with requests for an additional 2.5 personnel.
The base budget increase was requested because of an $82,00 facility rental shortfall, $16,000 for grounds and outdoor maintenance, about $7,000 for computer and software maintenance, another $20,500 for marketing, $19,000 for offsite storage leasing, and nearly $3,000 for wages and benefits.
The organization also hopes to hire one full-time “Experience Development Manager” at a cost of more than $112,000 in the first year, one full-time “Indigenous History Programmer” for about $93,000, and a part-time Museum Technician for nearly $54,000.
