Mayor Ramsey stated that Youth First was attempting to obtain a grant for $40,000 and he did <br />not feel that the City should fund that program for $33,000 in addition to that grant. He <br />questioned if any items could be moved from the general fund to the charitable gambling fund. <br />The Council further discussed the programs that could or should be cut. It was determined that <br />the Anoka Aquatic Center would not be funded for the 2010 year. <br />Finance Officer Lund confirmed that only 35 percent of the charitable gambling fund could be <br />used for these programs. <br />Councilmember Dehen questioned if further information could be provided in regard to the <br />Night to Unite. <br />Councilmember Look questioned if funding for the Lower Rum River WMO could be dropped <br />from $12,200 to $8,000. It was determined that option could be reviewed. <br />Financial Officer Lund reviewed the projects that would be funded through the charitable <br />gambling fund and partially through the general fund. <br />Mayor Ramsey stated that he would prefer to fund the North Metro Chamber as the cost was <br />only $250. <br />Councilmember Jeffrey agreed with Mayor Ramsey and requested additional information <br />regarding the North Metro Mayors Association. <br />It was confirmed that the Council would like an analysis in regard to the costs for Night to Unite, <br />Safety Camp, and Happy Days. <br />MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF INPUT <br />None <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The Work Session of the City Council was adjourned at 6:55 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Kurtis G.
