Home My WebLink AboutVIII-14 Community Investment Fund - The Quarry TaphouseCity Council Memorandum To:Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers From:City Administrator Dan Wietecha Date:April 7, 2025 Item:Community Investment Fund Council Action Requested: Approve funding for one CIF project as outlined in this memo. Background Information: The City established the Community Investment Fund (CIF) four years ago to encourage community-driven project, foster collaboration with community organizations, and leverage financial support for projects. This year, three applications were received by the initial review deadline. The Finance Committee reviewed them March 10 and recommended funding two projects. City Council approved the funding for the Dakota County Historic Society on March 17. Finance Committee recommended $30,000 to the Quarry Taphouse for a mural on a prominent wall entering the downtown. The Quarry would provide $20,000. Owners of The Quarry were unable to attend the City Council meeting on March 17 and requested having this project on Council’s April 7 meeting, so they could attend and answer questions. The Quarry was previously awarded $3,000 for pre-planning and design of the mural in late 2024.They’ve used about $500 of those funds and have requested applying the balance toward the upfront design of the mural project itself. I support and recommend this. Two additional CIF applications were received after the March 10 deadline. These (as well as any other subsequent submittals) will be reviewed by the Finance Committee at its next meeting May 12.Approximately $57,000 would be available for these or other projects. VIII-14 Financial Impact: Allocation of $2,500 is within the 2024 Budget and $30,000 is within the 2025 Budget. Applicant would match this allocation with approximately $20,000 to complete this project.
