MAYOR <br />Michael I.

Hanson <br />Email: cityhall @ci.little- canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel R. Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: October 6, 2000 <br />RE 10% Fund Budget <br />Attached is the projected revenue portion of the 10% Fund. You will note that revenues <br />for budget year 2000 are below estimate. It is my opinion this was caused by the break -in <br />at Little Canada Bingo Hall and the decline in patronage at the Hoggsbreath this past <br />spring. This has reduced the dollars projected for the McNamara park play equipment. <br />With 50% of these funds being used to reimburse parks and recreation overhead, we only <br />have about $20,000 available for 2001. Given the number of park development needs <br />that exist and the pending improvement of the McNamara property, I am recommending <br />we forego the ranking process this year and allocate the funds to the park development <br />area. I would also suggest we evaluate the elimination of the City's $4,000 contribution <br />to Canadian Days for fireworks. (Canadian Days shows a net profit of over $19,000 from <br />their gambling operation through the end of August, 2000.) <br />Should the Council disagree with this recommendation, we will then proceed with the <br />normal ranking process as outlined in our 10% Committee policy (copy attached). <br />cc: Sue Nelson, Canadian Days <br />Dick Boss, Fire Chief <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />Jean Donovan, Historical Society <br />Page 26 <br />
