CITY OF LITTLE CANADA <br />GDIDELINES FOR 10$ GAMBLING EXPENDITIIRES <br />Funding Decision Parameters: <br />* Items to be purchased should meet a definite need of <br />the City and not be frivolous in nature. <br />* Purchases should not be of a recurring nature. <br />Recurring expenditures would create the potential for <br />dependency on the 10$ funds and should be provided for <br />irrespective of gambling funds. <br />* Proceeds from the 10$ gambling fund should not be used <br />to pay far items that would normally be funded through <br />any operating budget of the City. <br />* Purchases should be for items the City would not <br />normally levy for yet would be of benefit to residents <br />by enhancing services and/or facilities. (This <br />guideline would be based on a determination that <br />funding would not occur in a "tight" budget year.) <br />Composition of 10$ Committee: <br />2 City Council Members City Administrator <br />1 Planning Commissioner Public Works Director <br />1 Parks & Rec. Commissioner Parks & Rec. Director <br />1 Community Pride Member Fire Chief <br />3 Citizens-At-Large <br />Appointments are to be made by the Mayor and ratified by the <br />City Council. <br />Ranking of Expenditure Reovests: <br />Solicitations for items to be included on the 10% fund list <br />shall be made once per calendar year. At a minimum, <br />solicitation notices will be sent to: Parks & Recreation <br />Commission, Canadian Days Committee,~Little Canada <br />Recreation Association, Little Canada Historical Society, <br />55+ Club, Little Canada Fire Department, Ramsey County <br />Sheriff's Department, and City department heads.' <br />The 10% Prioritization Committee will then rank the requests <br />by weighted voting in formulating their funding <br />recommendation for the City Council. (An example of <br />weighted voting would be five items to be considered. Top <br />priority gets 5 points, 2nd gets 4, 3rd gets 3, 4th gets 2 <br />and 5th gets 1. Most total points will be ranked first <br />(1st) and so on until all items are ranked. Items may be <br />grouped to facilitate the ranking process.) <br />Final Decision: <br />The City Council is the final authority in making funding <br />decisions. They may revise, alter, or ignore the <br />recommendation of the Committee as deemed in the best <br />interests of the City. <br />
