Comment:
Introduction:
The Council has asked to adopt a resolution accepting a donation of $5000 from the
Shakopee Rotary Club. The donation is to be used for the Huber Park playground.
Background:
Some time ago, Shakopee Rotary committed to donating $50,000 towards the Huber Park
project; that money has been put towards the Huber Park playground. For that reason, the
playground is named in recognition of the Shakopee Rotary Club.
By State Law, any donations in excess of $1 000 must be accepted by the City by means
of a resolution. This $5000 will be retained by the City, and will be used to reimburse the
City or Huber Park Playground Committee for future maintenance and expansion
activities.
Relationship to Visioning:
This supports Goal C "Great place for kids to grow up".
Recommendation:
I recommend that the resolution be adopted.
Action Required:
If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, adopt the following resolution:
