PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
City Council members solicited donations from local businesses to help offset City costs of the 2011 Montana League of Cities and Towns Conference held in Billings in October. As a result of donations, the Council had to pay only $2,432 from the Council Contingency Fund for its share of the event.
Administrative Order #103 requires that donations of more than $500 be accepted by the City Council. The following contributions are recommended for Council acceptance:
Conoco: $1,000
Northwestern Energy: $500
MSU-B: $500
Downtown Billings Partnership: $500
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Accept the contributions;
- Accept only part of the contributions; or
- Accept none of the contributions.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Two contributions already have been accepted. If all the contributions are accepted, the donations will offset $7,000 of the conference costs.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council accept the contributions from Conoco, Northwestern Energy, MSU-B and the Downtown Billings Partnership.
