AGENDA ITEM 1D <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR Al Rolek <br />• MEETING DATE May 12, 2008 <br />TOPIC Consideration of Resolution 08 -51 Approving Allowable <br />Expenditures for Blue Heron Days and Authorizing Agents for <br />Such Expenditures <br />VOTE REQUIRED <br />Simple Majority <br />In September of last year the City Council approved Resolution 07 -146 designating a portion of <br />the returned Memorial Hospital District funds for Blue Heron Days. At the time it was anticipated <br />that these funds would be used for parade float maintenance, parade entry fees, ambassador <br />program registration fees, ambassador attire (crown, sash, gown), etc. While some of these <br />expenditures have established organizations responsible for the activities (such as the Winter <br />Carnival parade and the Aquatennial event), the Blue Heron Days and, in particular, the <br />ambassador program have no established entity which is responsible for the activities associated <br />with this function. Lynn Bergman has been acting in the capacity of Lino Lakes Ambassador <br />Program Director. At the May 5 work session the City Council requested that a "budget" be <br />established for such funds and that an agent be identified as a designee for the expenditure of <br />such funds. <br />Resolution No. 08 -51 approves a list of allowable expenditures for funds designated for Blue <br />Heron Days and authorizes Lynn Bergmann as the agent through which the funds will be <br />expended. Staff recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 08 -51. <br />1. Adopt Resolution No- 08 -51. <br />2. Return to Staff for further review. <br />Option 1 <br />Page 29A — 29B <br />
