The contributions materialized out the Council contingency fund. The Council contingency was funded at$100K just few years ago. This fund has been dwindling down for the past 3 years. Last year,the Council contingency account was funded at$60K. During the 2015 Budget markup sessions,the Council appropriated the proposed funding gaps both for the Pueblo Chamber of Commerce and HARP out of the Council contingency proposed budget. Needless to say that the Council contingency now stands at$16,250. With that being said, it is up to the entire Council how you would prefer to contribute/disperse that money. If you would like to sponsor a resolution and support the Boy and Girls Club dinner at $1,000,we can prepare the appropriate document for the Council to vote on. Please let us know. Thanks, Sam From:Dennis Flores Sent: Friday, January 09, 2015 9:26 AM To: Sam Azad 1 Cc: Steve Nawrocki Subject: FW: Boys &Girls Club Sam: Please see attached and provide the information to Council regarding this request. tnx Dennis Sent with Good(www.good.com) Original Message From: Janelle Martinez [janellem@bgcpueblo.org] Sent: Tuesday,January 06, 2015 11:07 AM Mountain Standard Time To: Dennis Flores Subject: Boys&Girls Club Mr. Dennis, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you and Ms. Evelyn enjoyed your Holidays. I can't believe it is already 2015. I wanted to reach out to you regarding the Boys&Girls Club Annual Dinner&Awards Ceremony taking place Thursday, February 5 at PCC. Last year the City of Pueblo generously sponsored our dinner at the Silver Level($1000)and I was hoping this is something you all would consider doing again for us this year. I have attached a sponsorship packet for your review and consideration. I also attached an invitation if you would be available to attend. This really is a great event that highlights all the accomplishments of our Club Kids. I think you would really enjoy it.... ogi Thank you so much for taking the time to look over our sponsorship packet, If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing back from you...
