Item No.5 <br />Meeting Date: September 4, 2001 <br />Type of Business: WK <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Givonna Reed, Assistant to the City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: City Contribution to Festival in the Park <br />Date of Report: August 30, 2001 <br /> <br />At the August 27, 2001 Council meeting after some discussion this item was tabled until the <br />September work session. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The Council will recall that representatives of Festival in the Park have expressed some concern <br />about the fees charged to the City’s $4000 contribution to Festival in the Park. Specifically, <br />concerns were raised regarding the attorney’s fees and fees for use of golf course staff. As I <br />reported at the August 27, 2001 Council Meeting, the Clubhouse Manager has indicated that he <br />believes it would be appropriate to “refund” monies originally deducted for the use of golf course <br />staff. <br /> <br />Fire Services <br /> <br />At the August 27, 2001 Council Meeting it was noted that the Fire Department chose not to <br />request reimbursement for costs associated with Festival in the Park (use of the fire truck and the <br />volunteers). I explained that when I spoke with the Fire Chief he did not indicate that any charges <br />would be billed back to the City. In a brief discussion with the Fire Chief earlier this week he <br />indicated that at least partial costs associated with the use of the fire truck and volunteers will be <br />billed to the City through the City’s fire budget. <br /> <br />Legal Fees <br /> <br />The total cost of legal fees incurred for the creation of the agreement between the City of Mounds <br />View and Festival in the Park is $1592.50. (An additional $60 has been billed to this account <br />since the last Council meeting.) <br /> <br />Staff is looking for direction on the following issues: <br />• To which account should the legal fees be billed? <br />• To which account should the fees for golf course personnel be billed? <br />• To which account should the costs associated with use of the fire truck and volunteers be <br />billed? <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Givonna Reed <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
