Item No. 9E <br />Type of Business: CB <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Charles Hansen, Finance Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 6021 Approving a Policy for the Support of <br />Artistic Organizations <br />Meeting Date: May 27, 2003 <br /> <br />Attached is a draft policy for the support of artistic organizations and a resolution for its <br />approval. This topic came up in the reports section of the April 28, 2003 meeting in a <br />request by the Mounds View Community Theater to be allowed to use the City’s copier. <br /> <br />Both the City Attorney and Staff felt it would be a good idea to have a policy in place to <br />regulate the City’s support of non-profit groups. The City Attorney pointed out that there <br />is a section of the State Statutes, 471.941, that specifically allows and governs support <br />provided by local governments to theater groups. <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City of Mounds View closely follow Statute 471.491. This <br />both insures that our actions are within the law and it doesn’t open the door for every <br />non-profit organization in the area to request support. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Charles Hansen <br />
