M E M O R A N D U MM E M O R A N D U MM E M O R A N D U MM E M O R A N D U M <br />TO: PARKS AND RECREATION AND FORESTRY COMMISSIONERS <br />FROM: NICK DEBAR | PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR <br />DATE: JANUARY 27, 2011 <br />RE: DISCUSS/RECOMMEND REQUESTS FOR BBC DONATIONS <br />The Bethlehem Baptist Church (BBC) purchased the building located at 5151 Program Avenue <br />in 2004 and received City zoning approval to renovate the former office / warehouse space for <br />church usage. At the same time, the Church expressed its desire to sponsor and support <br />worthy community endeavors and created the Mounds View Service Project Fund pledging <br />annual donations totaling $25,000, but the actual amount donated typically exceeds this <br />amount. BBC envisioned the fund to be used to help meet certain community needs jointly <br />identified by the city and the Church that would be “in harmony” with their mission and values. <br />BBC has traditionally made donations twice annually. Representatives from the City, YMCA, <br />and Commission will typically meet with BBC staff to discuss potential funding requests for BBC <br />service project donation monies prior to the disbursements. BBC has requested to meet on <br />February 18. 2011 (noon at BBC) to discuss the first half 2011 disbursements. One or two <br />Commissioners are invited to attend. <br /> <br />Attachment: <br />• BBC Contribution Ledger <br />ITEM NO. 9D
