M =MORANDUM <br /> <br />Item 5.2. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Pat Klaers, City Ad~rator <br /> <br />February 10, 2003 <br /> <br />Elk River Area Arts Alliance Presentation Regarding 2003 <br />ArtSoup Festival and Budgeted City Contribution <br /> <br />The Elk River Area Arts Alliance is requesting that the City Council release $10,000 that is in <br />the recreation budget for 2003 arts activities and the ArtSoup festival. Attached for your <br />review is the February 5, 2003 letter from the Arts Alliance that requests the release of <br />budgeted funds. Representatives of the Elk River Area Arts Alliance will be at the City <br />Council meeting to discuss the request and ongoing arts related activities. <br /> <br />Also, attached for your information is the July 10, 2002 Arts Alliance letter, which originally <br />requested the city contribution and explained the rationale behind this request. In the efforts <br />to balance the 2003 city budget, this $10,000 contribution was always "on the chopping <br />block" but also always survived. However, the situation is different today with the <br />anticipated cut in state aids being on the horizon. <br /> <br />S~ Council/ Pat/.4rt.4lh)nce / 02100 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
