Summary

Parks and recreation director Andrew Winquist presented four donation requests that staff proposes to place on the consent agenda: a $2,500 tournament fee for the 2 Bills golf tournament, a Child of Joy Festival donation (packet shows '53.22'), Kiwanis auction items (packet shows '21.20'), and senior banners for North Iowa High School (value $1,690). Winquist said staff tightened standards to limit operational burden.

Andrew Winquist, director of parks and recreation, walked the committee through four routine donation and in-kind requests and said they are planned for consent unless the committee objects. "All 4 of these have been relatively routine over the past several years," he said, noting the department charges a tournament fee and breaks out donated in-kind labor and facility use in the packet.

Winquist listed the items: Tallahas City Recreation Association's 2 Bills golf tournament (tournament fee $2,500); Child of Joy Festival (packet shows the total listed as '53.22' and identifies the Tahoe Truckee School of Music as the primary beneficiary); Kiwanis annual community benefit auction (packet value shown as '21.20'); and North Iowa High School PTO senior banners downtown (value $1,690). He told the committee he has tightened approvals in recent years to avoid excessive staff burden. The items were presented to be approved on consent.
