Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: January 13, 2003
From: Jean Lewis, City Clerk
Agenda Item: Appropriating expense money to the
Centennial Account
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The City Council hired Sandra Wassilie, High Tide Writing, on January 14, 2002 as
Centennial Events Coordinator, to coordinate strategic planning, marketing, public
th
relations, and fund raising developments in preparation for the Citys 100 anniversary
’
celebration. Her contract has since been extended for one more year to cover the City
through its Centennial year. The budget for these events and all advertising and other
incidental expenses has been appropriated on a year to year basis. Last year the City
budgeted $50,000 in this account which included Ms. Wassilies salary of $25,000. After
’
expenses and salary were paid from 2002, this account had $6,870 remaining in it at year
end.
On December 9, 2002, Council appropriated $85,000 to this same account. $25,000 was
for Sandra Wassilies contract for an additional year, and $60,000 was for Parks and
’
Recreation projects that expect to reimburse the $60,000 once user fees for these
sponsored events and projects are collected.
Money was also allocated in the 2002 budget, intending to fund a mural the Seward Mural
Society wanted to have done for Centennial. It is not known what stage this mural is in,
other than it has not been started. The cost of this mural is also listed in this request.
