Grassie City Manager oATE July 31, 1979 , ':11r;Jcrt Expenditure of Funds to defray a portion of travel costs for the Miami Banditos Softball Club riEFERCNCES:National Tournament play in St. Louis CLOGUntS: On or about July 30, 1979, representatives and sponsors of the Miami Banditos Softball Team, a team of boys which plays in our City -sponsored league, inquired of city officials whether or not the City would be willing to contribute the necessary funds needed to pay for the team's trip to St. LOOS to play in the national tournament. The team had already raised $ 3,200 on its own, and needed a minimum of $ 1,200 to pay for expenses which would be incurred in St. Louis. ' • ' • •' • - , Last year the City contributed 4,000 to this team's appearance in the national tournament. This Year, a request was made in June to the Department of Leisure Services to fund them again. Due to the City's budget constraints, the request was denied. However, since the team has made a strong effort to raise the needed funds on its own, I have recommended that a check for $ 1,200 be issued for their support -- subject to the ratification, confirmation and approval of the Commi ss i on . My staff has informed me that Mr. Plummer's assistant has called members of the City Commission to informally poll them concerning their feelings on this matter and that a positive response was received from a majority of the Commission. This having been estab- lished, I have proceeded to order a check issued, charged to the remaining small balance in the Quality of Life Program, and have directed the recipients of the check to document and submit all ex- penses to me upon the team's return. , • On September 13, 1979, at the City Commission's first regular meeting ter the August break, a resolution confirming my. action ,will be, after for your approval . . , 9-577
