Agenda Date: 9/9/2024 Consent Agenda KBIC Funding for the YMCA

BACKGROUND:

Staff from the David and Thu Brule' YMCA of Marquette County (YMCA) recently asked the City to serve as the fiscal pass-through agent for funding from the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC). They plan to ask the Tribe for $6,000 to assist the YMCA's youth programs for low-to-moderate income families. In consideration of the City agreeing to act as a pass-through, the YMCA agrees to dedicate any funds received from the KBIC Tribe 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, but is a contribution to the YMCA.

FISCAL EFFECT:

No direct cost to the City.

RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City to act as the fiscal intermediary for KBIC funding of $6,000 to assist the YMCA's youth programs for low-to-moderate income families, and authorize the City Manager to sign the attached agreement.

ALTERNATIVES:

As determined by the Commission.
