Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood explained that the City has an <br />outstanding relationship with the Ramsey Foundation to provide meaningful work and services <br />to the community. He stated that in terms of behind the scenes work, maintenance staff <br />completes preparation of the site in terms of mowing and trash cleanup. He stated that the <br />Ramsey Foundation provides fundraising for the hard program costs. He noted that the music <br />costs are about $20,000 annually and the Ramsey Foundation is able to solicit donations to cover <br />half of that cost. <br />Councilmember Kuzma provided additional information on the duties and tasks managed by the <br />Ramsey Foundation, as he is a member. He stated that in the beginning, the foundation funded <br />the entire cost, but it became too laborious for the volunteers and that is when the contribution <br />from the City was implemented. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that staff will look at a six percent increase based on the <br />discussions tonight, summarized the items that consensus was reached on, and reviewed the <br />different topics that will be discussed at future meetings. <br />3.
