Background:
On May 1st 2014, a fund raiser was held at Turtles Bar and Grill to raise funds for the project
through a silent auction and donations. The event raised $10,668 for the project. This is slightly
higher than the initial amount routed to Council earlier in May, as additional donations were
received after the fund raiser.

downtown flower baskets in the amount of$4,055.91. Authorization to pay that is requested. No
other bills are expected to be received.
The balance of the proceeds--$6612.09--is being requested by the Fund-raising Committee to be
made as a donation to the Main Street Shakopee Program. Authorization to make that donation is
requested.
Action Required:
Council should approve Resolution No. 7456, A Resolution of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota,
accepting the cash donations for the 2014 Downtown Flower Basket Project, and to authorize a
payment of$4055.91 to Earl Holasek Greenhouses, and make a donation of$6612.09 to the Main
Street Shakopee program.
