City manager recommends raising Boys & Girls Club donation to $50,000; commission to decide
Summary
Staff recommended increasing the city's typical donation to the Boys & Girls Club from $18,000 to $50,000, suggesting opioid‑program funds could partially support the increase; the commission will consider the recommendation at a future budget meeting.
The city manager told commissioners he had shared an email proposing options for the Boys & Girls Club request. The club asked for $100,000; staff proposed increasing the usual $18,000 contribution to $50,000 and suggested using some opioid‑program funds for related opioid programming the club runs. The manager said the recommendation will be presented as options at the next budget meeting and requires a commission decision.
The mayor asked that staff print and distribute the options; no formal commitment or vote was recorded in the workshop. The manager said he would place the recommendation in the commission packet for the next budget meeting.
