Item/Subject ORDER - Authorizing Sponsorship of the Annual Camp Bangor Camp Fair and T -Shirts
Responsible Department: Qty Manager
Commentary:
The United Way of Eastern Maine has requested that the City of Bangor sponsor the Annual Camp Bangor
Camp Fair ($1,000) and t -shirts (y4,700). The event is deslgmed to offer children in the Bangor School
System who are eligible for the Libra foundation's Summer Camp Program the opportunity to gain
information about eligible amp programs. The t -shirts are a means of publicizing the program among
Bangor children as well as a way to identify individuals from their hometown.
The necessary funding for the requests were built into the H03 budget therefore no transfer or
additional appropriation of funds Is necessary. This year's request Is down from prior years by nearly
$1,000, due to conservative spending by the United Way as well as fees collected from amps
participating in the fair.
This request was reviewed and approved by the Finance Committee under the City's Bass Park fate and
funding of Non -Profit Organizations Policies. The attached order would authorize City sponsorship as
identified above.
Department Head
Recommended for approval by the Finance Committee of January 22, 2003 by a 3-1 voa, Councilor
Nealley in opposition. Councilor Nealley indicated at the meeting that the forthcoming budget situation
will require the City to be much more ngorous in evaluating requests for such contributions and that the
private sector is in a position W sporaorthe cost of the t -shirts. While he recognized that the School
Department would not allow privately sponsored t -shins to be di4nbu[etl 're schools, he intliatetl that
the Department should be asked to review this position.
