Case #2: Funding for Not-for-Profit Organizations Police Chief Way reviewed that at the November 7, 2005 Work Session, staff discussed contributions or contracted services with not-for-profit organizations that provide social services to the Ramsey community. The City Council may consider, on an annual basis, contributions to or contracts for services with not-for-profit organizations that provide social services to the Ramsey community. Five criteria for determining whether funding shall be allocated to an organization are listed in the Council packet. The criteria will not be limited to what has been listed. Chief Way indicated the City Council will review funding requests during the annual budget process. Staff will prepare documentation with regard to the criteria and provide recommendations to Council for consideration. Councilmember Strommen expressed her agreement with the criteria as drafted. She clarified this is not a solicitation for non-profits; it allows the City to have some criteria for organizations that approach the City with a cost effective partnership that supports the City's functions as a govemment body.
