• <br />9 <br />• <br />AGENDA ITEM`qA <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR Jerry Streich, Fire Chief <br />MEETING DATE August 09, 2010 <br />TOPIC Accepting Donation from Lexington Firemans Relief Assn. to <br />Defray Cost of Annual Safety Camp <br />VOTE REQUIRED <br />Simple Majority <br />As has been done in past years, the Lexington Firemans Relief Association has made a <br />contribution to the Centennial Fire District to defray the cost of the annual Kids Safety <br />Camp. Because the Centennial Fire District is a joint powers entity, it has no statutory <br />authority to fix its own budget. This function is performed by each entity participating in the <br />joint powers agreement. Therefore, it cannot accept the charitable gambling proceeds <br />directly. In the past, the charitable gambling proceeds have been donated to and accepted <br />by the City of Lino Lakes, as a participant in the joint powers agreement, and a check in the <br />same amount was issued to the Centennial Fire District for the purchase. In remaining <br />consistent with past practice, staffs recommendation is to accept the donation of charitable <br />gambling proceeds from the Lexington Firemans Relief Association in the amount of <br />$3,500 and authorize the issuance of a check in the amount of $3,500 to the Centennial <br />Fire District to be used for the annual Safety Camp. This transaction will have no net affect <br />on the City's 2010 budget. <br />TI <br />1 Accept the donation of charitable gambling proceeds from the Lexington Firemans <br />Relief Association in the amount of $3,500 and authorize the issuance of a check in <br />the amount of $3,500 to the Centennial Fire District to defray the cost of the annual <br />Safety Camp. <br />2. Refer to Staff for further review. <br />3. Decline the donation of charitable gambling proceeds. <br />R'ECOOilY i1 ! "� C ► ; <br />Option 1 <br />
