<br /> Subdivision 1.Lease to nonprofit.
<br /> Any city operating a program of public recreation and playgrounds pursuant to sections 471.15 to
<br /> 471.19 may acquire or lease, equip, and maintain land, buildings, and other recreational facilities,
<br /> including, but without limitation, outdoor or indoor swimming pools, skating rinks and arenas, athletic
<br /> fields, golf courses, marinas, concert halls, museums, and facilities for other kinds of athletic or cultural
<br /> participation, contests, conventions, conferences, and exhibitions, together with related automobile parking
<br /> facilities as defined in section 459.14, and may expend funds for the operation of such program and borrow
<br /> and expend funds for capital costs thereof pursuant to the provisions of this section. A school district
<br /> operating a program of public recreation and playgrounds has the rights provided in this section. Any
<br /> facilities to be operated by a nonprofit corporation, as contemplated in section 471.16, may be leased to the
<br /> corporation upon such rentals and for such term, not exceeding 30 years, and subject to such other
<br /> provisions as may be agreed; including but not limited to provisions (a) permitting the lessee, subject to
<br /> whatever conditions are stated, to provide for the construction and equipment of the facilities by any means
<br /> available to it and in the manner determined by it, without advertisement for bids as required for other
<br /> municipal facilities, and (b) granting the lessee the option to renew the lease upon such conditions and
<br /> rentals, or to purchase the facilities at such price, as may be agreed; provided that (c) any such lease shall
<br /> require the lessee to pay net rentals sufficient to pay the principal, interest, redemption premiums, and other
<br /> expenses when due with respect to all city bonds issued for the acquisition or betterment of the facilities,
<br /> less such amount of taxes and special assessments, if any, as may become payable in any year of the term
<br /> of the lease, on the land, building, or other facilities leased, and (d) no option shall be granted to purchase
<br /> the facilities at any time at a price less than the amount required to pay all principal and interest to become
<br /> due on such bonds to the earliest date or dates on which they may be paid and redeemed, and all
<br /> redemption premiums and other expenses of such payment and redemption.

<br /> Chris,
<br /> Our Park Commission would like to go to a local 501C3 organizations and ask for donations toward a park project. I
<br /> understand that there is no authority for a city to engage in fundraising. Is asking a local organization for contribution
<br /> toward a project legal? If the answer is no—then we would have another 501C3 organization make the request for the
<br /> Park Commission. (By local organization I am talking about the Lion's Club,Am. Legion, etc.)
