PROVIDE DIRECTION ON THE RECEIPT OF <br />DONATION(S) FROM ACE SOLID WASTE <br />By: Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />CASE <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Earlier this year, Mr. Denny Fredrickson, General Manager of Ace Solid Waste inquired as to the <br />process and opportunities for providing regular donations to the City. The program, as currently <br />proposed, is as follows: <br /> <br />For every net new customer, Ace will donate a monetary amount towards the parks (net <br />being if ten new customers and five change, then only 5 would be recognized). At a point <br />in time, when the amount has been deemed recognizable, annually, Ace would present a <br />"giant check" to the City, displaying the total amount donated during the year. The check is <br />proposed to be presented at a City function. <br /> <br />Other recognition mechanisms could be through marking or branding park items that are <br />purchased through these donations. <br /> <br />The Park and Recreation Commission supported Ace's offer contingent upon Council approval. <br />Mr. Fredrickson was reminded of this meeting date and time. The following is included for your <br />information.: <br /> <br />April 13, 1995 Park and Recreation Commission case <br />May 1, 1995 letter to Ace Solid Waste Management <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />While the City always welcomes donations from individuals and organizations, the City should <br />also be cognizant of the picture created by actively promoting a program that could be perceived as <br />serving as a marketing mechanism for any business or organization. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Finance Officer <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />FC:06/27/95 <br /> <br />Copies also distributed to: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Park and Recreation Commission <br />Mr. Denny Fredrickson <br /> <br />/ccr <br /> <br /> <br />
