• <br />AGENDA ITEM 2B <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR Al Rolek <br />MEETING DATE August 25, 2008 <br />TOPIC Accepting Donation from Lino Lakes Lions Club to Defray <br />Cost of Annual Safety Camp <br />Simple Majority <br />VOTE REQUIRED <br />BACK( <br />OUND. <br />The Lino Lakes Lions Club has made a contribution to the Centennial Fire District to defray the <br />cost of the annual Safety Camp. The method of funding for this is through charitable gambling <br />proceeds. 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 joint <br />powers agreement. Therefore, it cannot accept the charitable gambling proceeds directly. In the <br />past, the charitable gambling proceeds have been donated to and accepted by the City of Lino <br />Lakes, as a participant in the joint powers agreement, and a check in the same amount was <br />issued to the Centennial Fire District for the purchase. In remaining consistent with past practice, <br />staffs recommendation is to accept the donation of charitable gambling proceeds from the Lino <br />Lakes Lions Club in the amount of $2,000 and authorize the issuance of a check in the amount of <br />$2,000 to the Centennial Fire District to be used for the annual Safety Camp. This transaction will <br />have no net affect on the City's 2008 budget. <br />1. Accept the donation of charitable gambling proceeds from the Lino Lakes Lions Club in <br />the amount of $2,000 and authorize the issuance of a check in the amount of $2,000 to <br />the Centennial Fire District to defray the cost of the annual Safety Camp. <br />2. Refer to Staff for further review. <br />3. Decline the donation of charitable gambling proceeds. <br />Option 1 <br />
