I Y Margaret Driscoll ~:Q hC ~ - f -~i hOLD ~L~ 6'7 From: Bill Malinen Sent: Monday, June 07, 2010 11:01 AM To: Amy Ihlan Cc: *RVCouncil; Carolyn Curti Subject: RE: Questions re Commemorative Days and Months Amy In the past year, to the best of Adm. Dept. recollection, we did not bring forward requests from * Fulan Gong group * Chemical Dependency week (or possibly month) * A business, in the health field that wanted us to declare a day that highlighted their disease/product. They did not have any connection to Roseville that we could determine - no office, no advocate in Roseville asking for this day, and it was purely to promote their commercial business. * We also get calls from individuals asking if we could commemorate a parent or a grandparent's 90th or 100th birthday in some way. We do not proclaim a day, instead, the mayor has sent a letter of congratulations. We currently have a request for a Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Pride Proclamation. -----Original Message----- From: Amy Ihlan [mailto:amyihlan@comcast.net] Sent: Monday, June 07, 2010 6:53 AM To: Bill Malinen Subject: Questions re Commemorative Days and Months Dear Bill, I have a couple of questions about tonight's agenda item re recognition of commemorative days and months.

The staff memo indicates (lines 20-24) that numerous requests are received for commemorative days or months, and that while some requests are granted, "other requests have not been brought forward based on the unwritten policy". Could you please provide the council with a list of requests for commemorative days or months that have been denied (or not brought forward) during your tenure as city manager? What is the 1 /D
