MOTION :
Pidcock moved, seconded by Anderson to allocate $1,000 for
the Prairie Fest .
Anderson asked how much the Eden Prairie School District
was contributing . Jullie replied $13, 500 .
Tenpas questioned why the Eden Prairie School District did
not pay for the entire project . Jullie replied that the
program addressed the problems of the youth of the
community and this was also considered a City issue .
Anderson believed that the programs were worthwhile, but
was concerned that the programs were only conducted during
the school year and not carried on into the summer months .
Peterson believed that it was appropriate for the City to
participate in this type of program. He added that the
City also had an interest in the youth of the community.
Peterson believed that this type of program should be
encouraged without reservation . Peterson stated that the
program involved over 140 youths and the program was
targeted at dealing with self-esteem, which was vital for
the young people 's development . Peterson recommended that
the allocated amount be increased to $1, 500 .
Pidcock believed that the $1, 000 amount was adequate
because a specific group, those in public schools, was
being targeted and others were excluded .
Tenpas stated that he was not against the program, but if
this were to be a joint project, the City' s contribution
should be more .
Anderson believed that it was important for the City to be
involved . He was concerned, however, that the dollars
were being well spent and that there was accountability.

Motion carried 3-1 . Peterson voted "NO", because he
