CC Regular Session 5. 5. <br />Meeting Date: 05/31/2011 <br />By: Patrick Brama, Administrative Services <br />Title: <br />Community of Promise Donation Request <br />Background: <br />Youth First Community of Promise is requesting $5,000 in program support for their after school and summer <br />programs located in the Ramsey Neighborhood Center. <br />Youth First operates under a joint powers agreement with the Cities of Ramsey, Andover and Anoka along with <br />Anoka County and the Anoka -Hennepin School District. This program offers after school and summer programs to <br />youth and families. Youth First focuses on five promises: caring adults, safe places, effective education, a healthy <br />start and opportunities to serve. <br />In 2010, Youth First served 73 Ramsey residents and 5.5% of the youth served were homeless. <br />For more information on the request letter and the Youth First program please reference the attached document <br />labeled "Community of Promise Donation Request." <br />Funding Source: <br />Funding for Community of Promise is proposed to be re -allocated from the Ramsey Police Department Safety <br />Camp program. <br />The City of Ramsey contributes $5,000 to the Ramsey Police Department (PD) Safety Camp Program annually. <br />Said funding originates from the city's Charitable Gambling Fund. In 2010, the PD Safety Camp Program will not <br />need the annual $5,000 gambling fund contribution due to the current fund balance of the Safety Camp account and <br />private contributions sufficient to fund the event. As a result, the $5,000 allocation for the PD Safety Camp will be <br />available for re -allocation to the Youth First Community of Promise program. <br />Council Action: <br />Approve donation in amount of $5,000 for the Youth First Community of Promise program from the City's <br />Charitable Gambling Fund. <br />Community of Promise Donation Request <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Heidi Nelson Heidi Nelson 05/26/2011 11:29 AM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 05/26/2011 01:58 PM <br />Form Started By: Patrick Brama Started On: 05/09/2011 11:27 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 05/26/2011 <br />
