Re: Administrator Membership in Scandia-Marine Lions
Agenda Item#: S.g)
Background:
In late September I was invited to attend the Lion's meeting as a guest of Bruce and Janet
Swenson. Janet has offered to sponsor me into the organization.
My employment agreement includes the following regarding Civic Club Memberships:
Civic Club Membership. Employer recognizes the desirability of representation in and before
local civic and other organizations. With Employer's prior consent, Employee will be authorized
to become a member of such clubs or organizations and Employer will pay the reasonable cost
of the dues to belong to such club or organization. Employer will not be responsible for dues or
other costs associated with any organization as to which Employee has not received such prior
consent of Employer.
Issue:
Does the City Council authorize the City Administrator's membership in the Scandia-Marine
Lions and therefore pay the dues for belonging to the organization?
Fiscal Impact:
Semi-annual dues are $75. The one-time national fee is $35. As of the end of September there
was $805 left in the dues and subscriptions account for the Administration Deparhnent.
Options:
1) Authorize City Administrator Handt's membership in the Scandia-Marine Lions and pay
the associated dues.
2) Do not authorize City Administrator Handt's membership in the Scandia-marine Lions.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
