Item No. 8.1. <br /> MlNU-NDS VIEW Meeting Date July 14, 2025 <br /> 1L1'� Type of Business: Council Business <br /> Administrator Review: <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Gayle Bauman, Finance Director <br /> Item Title/Subject: Resolution 10112 Accepting the 2025 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 an agreement. Upon <br /> accepting the grant, the City must disperse the funds to community festival(s), and/or event(s)the <br /> City Council wants to support. The amount received in 2024 was$10,620. Approximately$3,700 <br /> (35%) of this was applied toward Community Center marketing with the balance (65%) going <br /> toward the Festival in the Park. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends approving Resolution 10112, accepting the Twin Cities Gateway 2025 Member <br /> City Marketing Grant, and applying the grant funds towards the marketing and promotion of the <br /> 2025 Festival in the Park and the Mounds View Community Center. Council will need to decide <br /> how the funds should be split. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Gayle Bauman <br /> The Mounds View Vision <br /> A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
