MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JANUARY 10, 1996 <br />Pedersen pointed out the amount of contributions <br />targeted directly to Little Canada would be less from <br />NSYA than they would be from LCCP. <br />Matson reviewed in detail NSYA~s contributions list for <br />1995. Matson pointed out that NSYA has been providing <br />services to Little Canada since 1987. Any organization <br />or person dealing with youth can apply to our <br />organization for funds. NSYA takes grant applications. <br />If people or organizations within Little Canada do not <br />apply, NSYA does not sit around and say let's give <br />money to Little Canada. NSYA accepts and reviews <br />applications. If good is being done for youth, the <br />application is generally approved. Matson pointed out <br />that $14,334 was donated to the City's 10% fund. <br />Matson went on to highlight numerous other donations <br />which have been made over the past year. <br />Scalze pointed out that the information contained in <br />the Council's agenda shows that $92,000 was donated <br />during 1996. Matson's listing submitted this evening <br />shows $141,644 of donations. <br />Matson explained that the listing the Council has was <br />only through the month of November. Additional <br />donations were made in December, and some donations <br />have been approved, but not yet paid out. <br />Scalze agreed that Matson has done a good job for his <br />organization. However, the Council must do what is <br />best for Little Canada's citizens. Scalze pointed out <br />that the one organization which has done the most for <br />Little Canada is Little Canada Charity Plus. Scalze <br />stated that the Council has had this discussion for a <br />long time, and it comes down to what is best for Little <br />Canada. <br />Matson asked why his organization was beinq singled <br />out. <br />LaValle replied that N5YA was not being singled out. <br />It just happens that their premise permit is up for <br />renewal. <br />Matson pointed out that Lake owasso's premise permit <br />was renewed just last summer and the City did not <br />penalize them. Matson felt NSYA was being penalized <br />for no real reason. <br />LaValle pointed out that the City had a grant <br />application denied by NSYA because it included T-shirts <br />for 6 to 12 adults. Reapplication was required without <br />8 <br />
