REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 4. OU[- _.-nitADS STAFF REPORT Report Number: 92-421W5 EN Report Date: 12-3-92 AGENDA SESSION DATE December 7, 1992 DISPOSITION Item Description: Discussion of "Star of the North Games" Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this report - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; The Star of the North Games are being sponsored by the North Suburban Communities during the summer of 1993. The City of Mounds View has been asked to participate in the program. Mary has been attending meetings and is a member of the Steering Committee and has volunteered to help on the Athletic Games committee. The committee has asked for a list of facilities that could be used for the Games. We have submitted the list. It is anticipated that the Steering Committee will choose to facilitate activities at athletic complexes of which we have none. It is most likely that complexes such as Fridley and Blaine will be used for athletic competitions. Therefore, it is anticipated that our volunteer service will be the most probable assistance that the City of Mounds View will have to offer. We can help promote the Games and assist in organizing lodging, etc. The benefit of participating in this endeavor is that the City of Mounds View will be named on all of publicity and announcements. It is a good name recognition benefit and puts the City of Mounds View in the limelight along with the other neighboring cities. It is a good public relations activity. I have attached three information papers about the Summer Games. It is my request that Council will adopt a recommended resolution for our joint sponsorship of the 1993 Star of the North Games. .1.4...&,‘„ <'. �Saarlon, Director Mai" Parks, " ecreation and Forestry RECOMMENDATION:
