city of <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item #4.9. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br />Pat Klaers, City/~mi istrator <br />August 3, 1998~? <br /> <br />Historical Society Contribution Request <br /> <br />Attached for your information is the material the Mayor received regarding a <br />contribution to the Sherburne County Historical Society. This contribution is <br />for the planned new Heritage Center building in Becket. As the Council may <br />recall, last year the Historical Society requested a $36,000 pledge over a <br />three to five year period from the City of Elk River. This current $3,000 <br />request is much more reasonable and is supported by staff with funds to <br />come out of the council contingency fund. It should be noted that we may see <br />additional requests in the future for this same project and these requests will <br />have to be evaluated on a case to case basis depending upon available funds <br />at the city level and how the Historical Society is doing in its efforts to raise <br />money for the project. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends the City Council approve a $3,000 contribution to the <br />Historical Society for the Heritage Building project in the city of Becket with <br />funding to come from the council contingency fund. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
