4. DISCUSSION ON CITY OF MOUND ACTING AS FISCAL AGENT FOR
COUNCILMEMBER MEYER'S FUNDRAISER(S)
Osmek questioned the legality of the city acting as fiscal agent for fundraisers, making
reference to §309. He questioned Meyer as to why the contributions can't go directly to
the school district, as this is a school district program (lifeguard program). Meyer
answered that the City has provided this lifeguard service for the last 52 years and with
budget cuts, etc., it's part of his vision to lead the community toward the City's mission
statement. Hanus also commented on the benefit of cutting out the City as the
middleman in the fundraising for the lifeguard program.
MOTION by Hanus seconded by Osmek that, because there is no benefit to the City,
the City not act as fiscal agent for Councilmember Meyer's fundraisers, and to direct
Staff to provide notice to The Laker to retract that the City is acting is fiscal agent for
Meyer's fundraisers. Meyer asked that this item be tabled. It was noted that there is a
motion and second to be voted upon. The following voted in favor: Brown, Hanus,
Meisel and Osmek. The following voted against: Meyer. Motion carried.
