Mounds View City Council April 25, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 7 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. F. Resolution 8554, Acceptance of the Twin Cities Gateway Member City Grant Agreement. Assistant City Administrator Crane requested the Council accept the Twin Cities Gateway member city grant agreement. She explained Mounds View has been a member of Twin Cities Gateway since 2009. She indicated the City would be receiving $8,672 in funds for 2016. Staff recommended $1,500 of the funds be allocated to the Mounds View Community Center to allow for the revamping of their website and the remainder of the funds, $7,172, be allocated to the Mounds View Festival in the Park Committee. Mayor Flaherty asked if $1,500 would be enough to revamp the website at the Community Center. He questioned if funds could be shifted from one entity to the other to cover any overages. City Administrator Ericson reported the City could shift funds. Further discussion ensued regarding how to properly allocate the dollars between the Community Center and Festival in the Park. Staff recommended an allocation be made to Festival in the Park after the City receives an invoice from the Community Center for their website work. Council Member Gunn suggested the dollar amounts be removed from the Resolution and the donation be accepted as a lump sum. The funds could then be allocated at a future date. City Administrator Ericson reported the Resolution could be amended and the Council could proceed in this manner. Council Member Mueller recommended the Council describe how the fund will be used within the Resolution for auditing purposes. Finance Director Beer anticipated that staff would have information on the website expenses in the near future, which would assist with the proper allocation of the grant funds.
