Resolution 5784 - Authorize Return of Band Shell Donor FundsRESOLUTION NO.5784
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE RETURN OF FUNDS TO DONORS OF THE
"BRICKS FOR THE BANDSHELL" FUNDRAISER INSTITUTED THROUGH THE
KALISPELL CITY PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT IN 2006.
WHEREAS, In 2006 the Kalispell Parks & Recreation instituted a fundraising campaign for a new
band shell project at Depot Park that included "Bricks for the Band Shell", a
fundraiser that enabled supporters the ability to purchase a sponsorship brick in their
name; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined over the years that the level of public interest and contribution
to the project is inadequate to sustain it as the minimum order of 100 bricks required
by the supplier was not met, nor could the original price quoted by the manufacturer
for the bricks be guaranteed; and
WHEREAS, the City currently holds the sum of $1,700 from donors who gifted toward the Bricks
for the Band Shell campaign; and
WHEREAS, the Kalispell Parks and Recreation Department is now proposing to abandon the band
shell project and pursue a revamped project to make improvements to the existing
gazebo venue used for our concert series and other performances; and
WHEREAS, the Kalispell Parks and Recreation Department proposes to contact each of the donors
who gifted toward the Bricks for the Band Shell campaign and offer to return their
donations as it is not now feasible to provide a brick commemorating their gift as
they had intended.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KALISPELL AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Kalispell City Council hereby finds that it is in the best interest of the
City and its constituents to offer each of the donors who gifted toward the
Bricks for the Band Shell campaign a return of their donation for the reason
that it is not now feasible to provide a brick commemorating their gift as they
had intended.
PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND SIGNED BY THE MAYOR OF THE
CITY OF KALISPELL, THIS 17TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 2016.
