Gentlemen:
The Otsego City Council at their July 1U, 1995 City Council meeting discussed your letter
of May 18, 1995 regarding the Secondary DARE Program. Although we are certainly
sensitive to the Program funding needs and fully support the Secondary DARE Program
concept, we are also feeling the impact of community growth and needs with shrinking
revenue sources.
As representatives of the community of Otsego, we strongly support the search of civic
organizations for sponsors of the Secondary DARE Program. It has been my experience
that civic organizations are very interested in the funding of programs such as DARE. As
a member of the Albertville Lions, I will inform them of the funding needs of the
Secondary DARE Program in ISD #728.. In addition, I will also inform the Otsego Lions
of the needs of the program. The City Council also indicated that your request can again
be considered during the 1996 budgeting process for the City.
Again, we fully support the Program and wish you continued success in the
implementation of the Secondary DARE Program.
Sincerely yours,
~~~
Norman F. Freske, Mayor
