The Arts Council is requesting $6,000, <br />whereas there is only $5,000 in the budget. The rational behind the Arts Council <br />request relates to the community theater no longer being in existence and the city <br />continuing to budget funds for this organization. The attached February 8, 1999, <br />City Council minutes will provide information on where the community theater <br />funds have been spent in 1999. The budgeted amount was $2,000 (not the $1,000 <br />referred to in the Arts Council letter) and I believe it was the intent of the City <br />Council to have these monies contributed to the 2001 Arts Alliance organization for <br />the Elk River Art Soup Festival. <br /> <br />. Typically the city funds are not released until the city receives an Arts Council <br />expenditure statement. We are still waiting to see this documentation. The City <br />Council has asked that the city funds be spent on youth related activities. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Provided that adequate documentation is received, it is recommended that the City <br />Council release $5,000 to the Arts Council in order to support and to help finance <br />1999 local youth related arts programs. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
