cAs , # / <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE TO YOUTH FIRST <br /> By: Thomas G. Gamec, Mayor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Youth First Town meeting was held on Thursday, September 11, 1997. There were 68 <br />people present from Ramsey, which was the largest number in attendance from any of the three <br />cities (Andover, Anoka and Ramsey). The results of the small group discussions from that <br />meeting are included with this case. <br /> <br />Anoka County has been supporting the Youth First organization with secretaries, meeting rooms, <br />publishing of minutes and meeting notices, and other support activities. The County also <br />donated $10,000 for the conference at the Blaine Sports Center and will continue to help out with <br />this event. The cities have not yet contributed funding toward this program. The Youth First <br />organization, however, feels that city support will be necessary to continue their program and a <br />$5,000 contribution from each city would help cover the basic activities of the organization. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />There is no money allocated for this in the 1997 City budget. Staff recommends the amount <br />should be allocated from the Council Contingency Fund. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #97-09-;7Q~r/authorizing a contribution to the Youth First program in <br />the amount of $5,000, to be allocated from the Council Contingency Fund. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Mayor <br />Acting City Administrator <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />CC: 09/14/97 <br /> <br />~l'o/Council/Commissions/City Council/October/l O l 4/ythfrst. doc <br /> <br /> <br />
