Editor's note: This article has been revised to reflect a correction, which will appear in Sunday's print edition.

An article on page 10A Wednesday incorrectly stated that the commissioners approved the budget, but the CVB's board approves its own spending plan. The commissioners simply received a copy of the budget.
