Case #2: Consider Re-designating 2009 Matching Loan to the Ramsey Foundation for COR Performances Parks Supervisor Riverblood reviewed the staff report. Councilmember Wise did not believe this was intended to be a loan. Chairperson Look stated he was not opposed to the refunding concept. He believed this project was done in an effort to bring the community together and he believed performances such as this would also bring the community together. He stated he was not sure if the City should be financing the Ramsey Foundation on an annual basis though. Councilmember Elvig noted the lawful gambling dollars were there to create community and he believed this fit the purpose of the COR, but it bothered him that the money was changing from one hand to another. Chairperson Look stated if the City did provide financial support for this, he wanted to make sure the City was participating in the financing on this and it did not become a political event. Councilmember Look expressed concern about having family performances only. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Wise, to recommend that the City Council approve up to $5,000 with dollar for dollar match in Lawful Gambling Funds for COR related performances, and authorize staff to work with the Foundation in the manner described by this case. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Look, Councilmembers Elvig and Wise. Voting No: None. STAFF & COMMITTEE INPUT None.
