• <br />• <br />• <br />AGENDA ITEM 2A <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR Al Rolek <br />MEETING DATE August 13, 2007 <br />TOPIC Accepting Donation from Centennial Firefighters Relief <br />Assn. to Defray Cost of Annual Safety Camp <br />VOTE REQUIRED <br />Simple Majority <br />As has been done in past years, the Centennial Fire Relief Association has made a contribution to <br />the Centennial Fire District to defray the cost of the annual Safety Camp. The method of funding <br />for this is through charitable gambling proceeds. Because the Centennial Fire District is a joint <br />powers entity, it has no statutory authority to fix its own budget. This function is performed by <br />each entity participating in the joint powers agreement. Therefore, it cannot accept the charitable <br />gambling proceeds directly. In the past, the charitable gambling proceeds have been donated to <br />and accepted by the City of Lino Lakes, as a participant in the joint powers agreement, and a <br />check in the same amount was issued to the Centennial Fire District for the purchase. In <br />remaining consistent with past practice, staffs recommendation is to accept the donation of <br />charitable gambling proceeds from the Centennial Firefighters Relief Association in the amount of <br />$1,500 and authorize the issuance of a check in the amount of $1,500 to the Centennial Fire <br />District to be used for the annual Safety Camp. This transaction will have no net affect on the <br />City's 2007 budget. <br />1. Accept the donation of charitable gambling proceeds from the Centennial Firefighters <br />Relief Association in the amount of $1,500 and authorize the issuance of a check in the <br />amount of $1,500 to the Centennial Fire District to defray the cost of the annual Safety <br />Camp. <br />2. Refer to Staff for further review. <br />3. Decline the donation of charitable gambling proceeds. <br />Option 1 <br />
