<br />Item No: 5D <br />Meeting Date: 06/05/06 <br /> Type of Business: WS <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Rotary Club Membership <br /> <br /> <br />It is requested that consideration be given to sponsoring my membership in the New <br />Brighton/Mounds View Rotary Club. The New Brighton/Mounds View Rotary Club is part <br />of the international organization of community leaders within the Twin Cities area. Rotary <br />Club members lead and participate in strategic humanitarian and community projects; <br />encourage high ethical standards in all vocations; and help build goodwill and peace in <br />the community. <br /> <br />Attached is more information about Rotary and the benefits of club membership. <br />Membership would provide an important connection for the City, including additional <br />access to the business community, volunteers, and other resources. <br /> <br />The cost of membership would be $434 for the balance of 2006. The funds would come <br />from existing allocations within the Administration budget. In the 2007 budget, $868 <br />would be proposed specifically for the Rotary Club membership. <br /> <br />The membership in Rotary will entail a weekly luncheon, and other volunteer time for <br />activities that would be required throughout the year. <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Council support the Rotary Club membership and the <br />reallocation of funding for one membership. <br /> <br />
