Committee discusses donation request for Better Fishing Association; no final vote due to quorum
Summary
The finance committee debated a monetary donation to the Better Fishing Association but did not take final action because of quorum limitations; members expressed support for either $250 (last year) or $500.
Members of the LaSalle City Council Finance Committee discussed a request for a monetary donation to the Better Fishing Association but did not take a final vote because of a lack of quorum for that specific item.
Committee members said the city gave $250 by check last year and noted that historically the council sometimes provided $500. One member said, "I think it's absolutely wonderful what they do, and I think $500 is a good amount," while others suggested repeating the prior year’s amount. Because the finance committee lacked the required quorum to finalize the donation at that meeting, members agreed the item could be taken up at the full City Council meeting for a binding vote.
The committee did not adopt a formal motion that would bind city funds at the meeting; the discussion produced no binding appropriation. The item will be agendized for the full Council so that a formal vote can be recorded.
