Council revisits previously budgeted donation to YCC after staff says recipient may not know
Summary
Staff said a donation to YCC was included in last year’s budget but may not have been communicated; councilors debated whether the city previously promised the payment and whether to include it as a one-time payment in the current budget.
Peter, a city staff member, told the council that a donation to YCC was approved in last year’s budget but staff are not sure the recipient was notified or paid. He asked whether the council wanted to include the donation as a one-time payment in the current draft budget since the city missed the prior communication window: "We actually approved in our budget last year a donation for YCC and the more I researched it, I'm not positive that the YCC knew that this was in our budget for them and that's probably why I didn't come ask for the donation."
Councilors disagreed over whether a formal commitment had been made during the earlier presentation. One councilor said staff minutes showed an instruction to include the donation; others said they did not recall a commitment. Staff noted line-items that would be included if the council approves: allocations for Bonneville Music Care, the high school, and the YCC. The council asked staff to confirm the prior minutes and, if appropriate, to authorize the payment or bring a motion tying the donation to budget adoption.
