Agenda Date: 3/13/2023 Consent Agenda - Roll Call Vote KBIC Funding for the U.P. Children's Museum

BACKGROUND:

Recently the U.P. Children's Museum asked the City to serve as the fiscal pass-through agent for funding from the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community. They plan to ask the Tribe for $10,000 for Museum programs. In consideration of the City agreeing to act as a pass-through, the Museum agrees to dedicate any funds from the KBIC to the purposes set forth in the attached agreement prepared by the City Attorney.

Proceeds from the Tribe's 2% gaming revenue would be used to fund the request; gaming regulations require that a local municipality serve as the fiscal agent for such awards. This payment is not allocated to the City of Marquette government, but is a contribution to the U.P. Children's Museum.

FISCAL EFFECT:

No direct cost to the City.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the request to act as the fiscal intermediary for KBIC funding of $10,000 for U.P. Children's Museum programs, and authorize the City Manager to sign the attached Agreement.

ALTERNATIVES:

As determined by the Commission.
