Item No. 5.C. <br />MOUNDS viEw <br />Meeting Date April 8, 2024 <br />Type of Business: Consent Agenda <br />Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Gayle Bauman, Finance Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9897 Accepting the 2024 Twin Cities Gateway Grant <br />Introduction <br />Since 2009, the City of Mounds View has been a member of the Twin Cities Gateway. One of <br />the Twin Cities Gateway's programs is the "Member City Marketing Grant." Beginning in 2011, <br />the program was structured so that each member city receives an annual grant based on the <br />percentage of lodging taxes collected from the prior year. <br />Discussion <br />As part of accepting the grant funds, the City Council is required to enter into the attached <br />agreement. Upon accepting the grant, the City must disperse the funds to community festival(s), <br />and/or event(s) the City Council wants to support. The amount received in 2023 was $10,090. <br />Approximately $3,600 of this was applied toward Community Center marketing with the balance <br />going toward the Festival in the Park. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approving Resolution 9897, accepting the Twin Cities Gateway 2024 Member <br />City Marketing Grant, and applying the grant funds towards the marketing and promotion of the <br />2024 Festival in the Park and the Mounds View Community Center. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Gayle Bauman <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
