City Attorney Knutson indicates that in order for her to accept the <br />tickets and parking pass, she must obtain permission from the City Council, according to State <br />statute and recent legal interpretations of the gift ban. She said that if any elected official is <br />invited to an event and asked to give a speech, legally the official can accept a ticket to the event. <br />The State Fair has not asked her to give a speech, but they have asked her to give them <br />something to read. The resolution being proposed must be approved by a 2/3 vote. <br />Council member Lamb said the resolution isn't asking the City to pay for anything. It authorizes <br />the Mayor to accept tickets and a parking pass from the State Fair. <br />• <br />`1 <br />
