Re: Swanson Speaker Donation
Background:
DJ Dan provided karaoke services at Meisters' the evening of Vinterfest (Saturday, February 1St). He has
decided to donate his fee from that night, along with additional funds from Sally, for the purchase of new
speakers at the ice rink/warming house.
We learned just a few days before Vinterfest this year that the existing speakers were no longer
operational. New speakers will help provide better communication of events not only during Vinterfest
next year but also for Taco Daze or other events near the warming house.
As was done with the donation from the Relief Association last month, by donating the funds to the City
expenses are lower because of the sales tax exemption available.
As with other donations, the Council must formally accept the donations via a resolution.
Issue:
Should the City accept the donation for the speaker purchase?
Proposal:
The resolution detailing the donation is included in your packet.
Fiscal Impact:
The donation will cover the cost to purchase two new outdoor speakers.
Options:
1) Approve Resolution 2-18-14-08
2) Amend and then Approve Resolution 2-18-14-08
3) Do not approve Resolution 2-18-14-08
Recommendation:
Option 1.
