4No OCT • September 28, 1999 INITIATIVE FOUNDATION Stephanie Klinzing, Mayor City of Elk River PO Box 490 Elk River, MN 553300-0490 Dear Ms. Klinzing: We would like to thank the city once again for allowing us to present our update at the City Council meeting last night. In response to a question raised by one of the Council members, we have received contributions from four of the five cities in Sherburne County with the cities of Zimmerman and Becker providing funding at the requested level ($1.50 per capita). To date,we have received donations from 11 of the 17 cities in Wright County with seven cities providing donations at the requested level. The attached summary provides detailed information on the current status of our fundraising efforts in both Sherburne and Wright Counties. As you can see from the attached summary, fiscal year 2000 funding requests were sent to Becker, Big Lake, Clear Lake, Elk River, Buffalo, Clearwater, Dayton, Delano, Hanover, Howard Lake, Monticello, Otsego, Rockford, South Haven and St. Michael requesting the balance of the original $1.50 per capita request. The communities of Cokato and Waverly had completed their current pledges and were asked for continuing support. Communities with outstanding pledges such as Zimmerman,Albertville,Annandale, Maple Lake and 411 Montrose received an annual progress report of activities in their county. We are happy to share that the city of Waverly already approved a second gift to the Capacity Fund Campaign once again using the$1.50 per capita guideline ($957). Cokato shared that they plan to continue supporting our efforts with a FY00 gift, and Rockford notified us that they are also considering an additional gift. If you have any further questions on city contributions, please contact me at 877/632-9255. We hope that the city of Elk River will continue to support our work in the region through a charitable contribution of 514,929 (the balance of the original request,which would represent a total contribution equivalent to$1.50 per capita). Your continued support of the Capacity Fund Campaign will guarantee that more individuals and communities receive economic and community development assistance in the region. Thank you for your interest and support. Sincerely, 7h.lEVC-Ged/04- Connie Marcyes Director of Development CENTRAL MINNESOTA'S INITIATIVE FUND Enclosure 70 SE FIRST AVENUE • LITTLE FALLS.
