1~ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Suzanne Kostanshek, Senior Center Coordinator <br />DATE: May 16, 201 I <br />SUBJECT: Activity Center 501 c3 Status Update <br />ITEM 7.2. <br />One of the goals of the Activity and Senior Centers during budget work sessions the past <br />couple years has been to obtain a 501c3 status for grant writing and charitable giving. An <br />additional purpose of obtaining the 501c3 status would be to fundraise fox scholarships for <br />participants of the Activity and Senior Centers. The name of the corporation will be Elk <br />River Activity Center Council, Inc. This council will operate much like the Friends of the <br />Library. <br />Senior Center staff has been working on this project with guidance from Finance Director <br />Tim Simon and Ron Black, a local attorney. <br />The Articles of Incorporation have been written and are now ready to file with the State of <br />MN. <br />The money that is needed for this project will come from donations to the Activity and <br />Senior Centers. There is enough money in this fund to file and to set up a small budget for <br />beginning operation costs. There will be no cost to the city to start this project. <br />N:\Public Bodies\City Council\Council RCA\Agenda Packet\05-16-2011\Acrivity Center Update.docx <br />
