Mayo <br />Johnson, and myself met with representatives of the B & <br />discuss B & G Club activities and city-B & G Club partnc <br />funding for positions and programs. <br /> <br />ldance at this City Council meeting <br />Boys and Girls Club and to <br />: IClmzing, Finance Director Lori <br />G Club on April 27, 2004 to <br />rships, especially as it relates to city <br /> <br />The city and B & G Club have come to a mutual underst:Lndmg that continued funding of <br />the position that is in charge of recycling activities is no lc)nger appropriate based on ~vhat <br />work the position does and based on the state law requircments for use of the landfill <br />abatement funds. ' <br /> <br />The new funding request for positions (described in the attached material from the B & G <br />Club) would have to come out of the city general fund. ~o funds are in the 2004 budget for <br />this expenditure. Funds could be included in the 2005 bu,~get, depends,, g on City Council <br />priorities. The city cannot simply give the B & G Club a contribution and can only <br />provide the B & G Club with funding for positions or prpgrams that are beneficial to the <br />city and related to city issues. By funding these positions or programs through the B & G <br />Club, it eliminates the need for the city to undertake thes -~ positions or programs. An <br />alternative to this request for funding from the B & G Club may be for the city to continue <br />to support the B & G Club environment and recycling p~ oject but to use general fund <br />money and not landfill money for this support. <br /> <br />The City Council needs to discuss whether or not the ci~ should be supporting, by way of a <br />contribution of general fund monies, any positions/prog~ ams that the B & G Club offers. <br /> <br />S: ~CouncilNPatN2004~BoysGirls060704.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
