To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7146 21 <br />Accepting Donation from Bethlehem Baptist Church. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Council Member Stigney pointed out that Bethlehem Baptist Church is contributing this money 24 <br />in lieu of taxes, so he thinks that the City should look at contributing to something that 25 <br />contributes more to the overall benefit of the community. Council Member Stigney said that he 26 <br />is not against these programs, but pointed out that general taxes would not be used for this type 27 <br />of use. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Council Member Mueller said that she would like to accept the donation and allow them to 30 <br />specify how it is used. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that this is not a donation out of the goodness of their heart, 33 <br />but a requirement of the business agreement reached with the City when they came into the City. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Council discussed the history of the agreement reached with the Church. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Council Member Flaherty indicated he would like a representative of STAND and SALE to come 38 <br />before the Council and provide information on what they do for the school. 39 <br /> 40 <br />Council Member Stigney emphasized that this is a limited program for certain kids, and he would 41 <br />rather have this general tax money go toward something like Festival in the Park. He then said 42 <br />that he is a little concerned about allocating the funds this way, because it could become 43 <br />precedent. 44 <br /> 45
