Title:
Approve Community and Business Event Participation
Background:
Annually, the City Council and key City staff participate in various gala and golf events in support of community and business organizations. The City's Discretionary Expenditures Policy requires that annually, the City Administrator review upcoming events with the Council. Additionally, the policy states that annually the Council will establish a maximum amount for community and business relation expenses.
Events anticipated for 2012 include the following:
Anoka Area Chamber Gala, February
Boy Scout Breakfast, February
Mayors Prayer Breakfast, March
Mercy Unity Foundation Crystal Ball, April
Golf Events (May - September):
Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce
Anoka/Ramsey Rotary
Anoka Technical College
Bridge Link
Mercy & Unity Hospitals
Ramsey Lions
North Metro Mayors Association
Golfing for Groceries - Village Bank
It should be noted that annually, the EDA members budget for and participate in a number of community and business events for business retention and expansion purposes. Additionally, the HRA members and staff participate in events on behalf of The COR. The budget and member participation is approved by each of those boards annually.

Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Council review the list of events provided by staff. If there are some Council feels should be omitted, or any events Council would like to add, this item may be removed from the Consent Agenda and placed on the Regular Agenda for further discussion and direction. The suggested motion has been crafted to include the same events as in past years.
Funding Source:
The amount budgeted for 2012 for participation in community and business events is $3,400. That amount would come out of the miscellaneous operating and supplies (Mayor & Council) budget. If additional funding is required, staff recommends designating funds from the Council Contingency Fund.
Council Action:
Motion to approve participation in the following events for 2012:
Anoka Area Chamber Gala, February
Boy Scout Breakfast, February
