<br /> <br />Item # 3.4. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Stephen Rohlf, Building and Environmental Administrator <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />December 13, 2004 <br /> <br />51!.. <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Resolution Supporting the Kelley Farm <br /> <br />The Kelley farm is a historic, educational and economic resource for our community. As <br />you probably are aware, the Kelley Farm has been earmarked for closure due to state budget <br />cuts. For the past nearly two years, I have been involved with the Friends of the Kelley <br />Farm and their efforts to keep this important site open to the public. <br /> <br />The Friends have raised the $138,000 for the last two years that was needed to keep the site <br />from closing. However, we anticipate problems matching this effort in 2005. Maximum <br />effort will be put forth with the legislature to restore funding for the Kelley Farm in the next <br />state budget biennium. <br /> <br />Tbe City Council can aid the Friends of the Kelley Farm with their efforts at the legislature <br />by passing the attached resolution in support of the Kelley Farm. The Council passed a <br />similar resolution in 2003. <br />
