Council adopts policy 88 on volunteering; ratifies four golf-course volunteers
Summary
The council adopted Policy 88 establishing formal rules for volunteering and donations (with amended wording allowing staff initial approval) and ratified four volunteer applications for gardening at the Little Falls Municipal Golf Course.
The Little Falls City Council adopted Policy 88 on volunteering and donations on June 2, with an amendment to clarify that staff may grant initial approval for volunteer activities before the council ratifies them on the consent agenda.
Alex explained the policy would formally allow staff to grant permissions for volunteers with council ratification to follow. Council members debated specific language in sections 1.4 and 1.5 about when volunteers may begin activities and whether staff or the council grants final approval. A motion was offered to amend the language to permit staff to approve volunteers initially and bring finalized approvals to the council consent agenda; the amended motion passed.
Following adoption, the council ratified four volunteer applications for the Little Falls Municipal Golf Course to assist primarily with gardening. Staff confirmed the applicants had completed required application forms and waivers before being brought to the council. The council approved the volunteer appointments.
