MOTION McGehee moved setting aside HRC Budget funds to cover expenses not covered by sponsors, in an amount up to $600. City Manager Malinen noted that the City of Shoreview had 70 in attendance and was optimistic that Roseville could have up to 100 attend; and noted that the United Way received a stipend of $300 from the City of Shoreview for their event, in additional to miscellaneous expenditures as previously referenced and suggested that Commissioners anticipate a cost of approximately $1,500, less $600 in sponsorships. MOTION McGehee amended the original motion to move setting aside HRC Budget funds to cover expenses not covered by sponsors, in an amount not to exceed $1,000. Venters seconded the amended motion.
