Member Motion - Acting Mayor DiPaola - Fundraising and Sponsorship for Council Community Events
A 2018 Compliance Audit was completed by Brook Laker and Associates and it was recommended that a policy for Council Members’ events be developed for the beginning of the 2018-2022 term of Council, to be consistent with the Members of Council Expense Policy and include direction on eligible expenditures, appropriate signing and approval authorities, and regular on-line reporting on the City’s website
Council considered a report from staff on December 11, 2018 which provided a proposed Member of Council Community Event Policy to address this direction but Council only received report meaning that the policy was not enacted
If approved this motion will place a moratorium on all Council fundraising and sponsorship for Council Community Events and freeze current funds held by the City for this purpose and staff will be directed to report back in the fall of 2021 with a policy that addresses fundraising and sponsorship by Council members for Council events and the use of these funds for Council’s consideration.
