ITEM: 12.7 ADMINISTRATION- Clark Arneson, City Manager
Title
AUTHORIZING PAYMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $16,521.00 TO THE I-35W CORRIDOR COALITION FOR 2014 ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DUES
Background
The North Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition was established in 1996 in order to provide member cities and counties a venue for collaboration on transportation and economic development issues. Membership dues are an annual expense, and the amount charged is consistent with 2013 budget appropriations. It should be noted that this is a reduction from the 2013 annual dues ($25,207.00).
The requested action is pursuant to the Blaine City Charter section 6.05, which requires City Council approval of all purchases or contracts in excess of $10,000.
Recommendation
By motion, authorize payment in the amount of $16,521.00 to the I-35W Corridor Coalition for annual membership dues.
