FINANCE COMMITTEE <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br />ANOKA COUNTY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />The Ramsey Finance Committee conducted a regular meeting on Tuesday, June 27, 1995, <br />at the Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Boulevard N.W., Ramsey, Minnesota. <br /> <br />Members Present: <br /> <br />Mayor Glen Hardin <br />Councilmember Carolyn Beahen <br />Councilmember Sheila Beyer <br />Councilmember Kenneth Peterson <br />Couneilmember Gerald Zimmerman <br /> <br />Also Present: <br /> <br />City Administrator Ryan Schroeder <br />Finance Officer Jessie Hart <br />City Engineer Steve Jankowski <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson called the regular meeting of the Finance Committee to order at <br />6:05 p.m. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />APPROVE AGENDA <br /> <br />Consensus was to approve the agenda as presented. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE BUSINESS: <br /> <br />Case #1: Provide Direction on the Receipt of Donation(s) from Ace <br /> Solid Waste <br /> <br />Finance Officer Hart stated that Ace Solid Waste has inquired as to the process and <br />opportunities for providing regular donations to the City. Their proposal is as follows: <br />For every net new customer, Ace will donate a monetary amount toward the park (net being <br />if ten new customers are received but five current customers change haulers, then only five <br />would be recognized). At a point in time, when the amount has been deemed recognizable, <br />annually, Ace would present a "giant check" to the City, displaying the total amount <br />donated during the year. The check is proposed to be presented at a City function. Other <br />recognition mechanisms could be through marking or branding park items that are <br />purchased through these donations. While the City always welcomes donations from <br />individuals and organizations, Ms. Hart cautioned that the City should be cognizant of the <br />picture created by actively promoting a program that could be perceived as serving as a <br />marketing mechanism for any business or organization. She stated that Commercial <br />Asphalt donates $500 a year toward parks/youth in Ramsey and they have not asked for <br />any recognition/advertising, etc. <br /> <br />Finance Committee/June 27, 1995 <br /> Page 1 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
