This summary is based on reports for lobbying disbursements made from June, 2004, through May, 2005. Lobbyists filed a total of 3,324 periodic reports for the twelve-month period. Disbursement reports were submitted on behalf of: • 1,227 lobbyists; • representing 1,242 associations and individuals; and • reporting a total of $14,728,737 spent on lobbying activities. Lobbyists reported that 876 (70%) of the 1,242 associations and individuals represented made disbursements for lobbying purposes. The reports disclosed that of the total disbursements 91% were for legislative lobbying, 5% were for administrative lobbying, and 4% were to influence the official action of a metropolitan governmental unit. See page 5 for a comparison of total lobbying disbursements by type of lobbying reported in the last three reporting years and total lobbying expenditures reported by lobbyist principals for the last three calendar years. Lobbyists must disclose honorariums, gifts, loans, items or benefits equal in value to $5 or more given or paid to a public or local official from the lobbyist, the lobbyist’s employer, or an employee of the lobbyist. Thirty-one associations and one lobbyist reported giving items or benefits totaling $19,742 to 206 legislators, two constitutional officers, 59 local and public officials, three constitutional office employees, and 165 legislative employees. See page 17 for definitions. Lobbyists are not required to disclose their salaries or their political contributions. Lobbyists for the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities reported the largest total disbursements during the period and the largest total disbursements for legislative action lobbying. Lobbyists for CenterPoint Energy Resources Corporation reported the largest disbursements for administrative action lobbying and lobbyists for American Cancer Society Minnesota Division reported the largest disbursements in attempts to influence metropolitan governmental units. Complete lists of the 50 entities which reported making the largest amount of disbursements and the largest amount of disbursements by type of lobbying begins on page 33. Lobbyist principals reported making expenditures of approximately $50,237,111 during 2004 for lobbying purposes. This amount Includes lobbyist salaries, advertising and public relations campaigns, and all other lobbying disbursements made by the principal or lobbyist. The Board summary also includes a list of: • individuals or associations that contributed over $500 to associations to be used for lobbying purposes (see page 7); and • associations and the lobbyists that represented each association during the reporting periods covered, and the total amount of disbursements made (see page 39). Information in this summary is based on reports filed by lobbyists registered with the Board and the 2004 Annual Report of Lobbyist Principal report. The information has not been verified or audited. Lobbyist reports are available for public inspection at the Board office. Information compiled as of July 26, 2005. 1 2 LOBBYING OVERVIEW What is lobbying Lobbying is attempting to influence legislative or administrative action, or the action of a metropolitan governmental unit by communicating with or urging others to communicate with public or local officials in metropolitan governmental units. Any activity that directly supports this communication is considered a part of lobbying. Who is a lobbyist For the purpose of this summary, “lobbyist” means: 1) An individual who is engaged for pay or other consideration of more than $3,000 from all sources in a year for the purpose of attempting to influence legislative or administrative action or the official action of a metropolitan governmental unit by communicating with or urging others to communicate with public or local officials. 2) An individual who is not compensated for more than $3,000 but spends more than $250 in any year (not including travel expenses and membership dues) for the purpose of attempting to influence legislative or administrative action or the official action of a metropolitan governmental unit by communicating with or urging others to communicate with public or local officials. 3) A nonelected local official or an employee of a political subdivision who spends more than 50 hours in any month attempting to influence legislative or administrative action or the official action of a metropolitan governmental unit, other than the political subdivision employing the official or employee, by communicating with or urging others to communicate with public or local officials, including time spent monitoring any of the forenamed actions and related research, analysis, and compilation and dissemination of information relating to legislative, administrative, or metropolitan governmental unit policies in Minnesota. An individual who merely communicates with a public official to obtain information or request an interpretation of a law, rule or agency action is not a "lobbyist". An individual who volunteers personal time to work without pay on a lobbying campaign and does not spend more than $250 on lobbying

    Accessible Arts Calendar Summary 2019 Current Venues and Shows Updated 9-4-19 – The VSA Minnesota Accessible Arts Calendar lists arts events that proactively offer accessibility accommodations such as: ASL (American Sign Language Interpreting), AD (Audio Description), CC (Closed Captioning), OC (Open or Scripted Captioning), DIS (performers with disabilities), or SENS (Sensory-friendly accommodations) which are inclusive for children on the autism spectrum. The main Accessible Arts Calendar listings (emailed monthly through August 2019 and online at http://vsamn.org/community/calendar) offer descriptions of shows, authors, directors, describer & interpreter names, ticket prices, discounts, dates for Pay What You Can (PWYC), and more. This Current Venues and Shows list supplements the Accessible Arts Calendar. On our website as a Resource under Community (http://vsamn.org/community/resources-community/), it summarizes shows at arts venues across Minnesota: plays, concerts, exhibits, films, storytelling, etc. It’s limited to what we learn about and have time to include. The venues are organized alphabetically by Twin Cities venues and then by Greater Minnesota venues. They may offer accessible performances proactively or upon request. Words in GREEN identify some accessibility accommodations. We assume all auditoriums and bathrooms are wheelchair-accessible and theatres with fixed seating have assistive listening devices, unless noted otherwise. Both calendars will be discontinued after September 2019 when VSA Minnesota ceases operation.

  • Without a Concerted Effort, Our State's Historic and Cultural Treasures Are in Danger of Being Lost to Time. the Minnesota
    Without a concerted effort, our state’s historic and cultural treasures are in danger of being lost to time. The Minnesota Historical Society awarded a Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grant in the amount of $7,000 to the City of Mankato. The grant was approved by the Society’s awards committee on July 22, 2010 and will support its Historic Survey of 12 Properties for Local Designation Project. Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants are made possible by the Minnesota Legislature from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund created with passage of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution in November 2008. The grants are awarded to support projects of enduring value for the cause of history and historic preservation across the state. Historic Survey of 12 Properties for Local Designation Project The Historic Survey of 12 Properties for Local Designation Project is a project of enduring value because it will provide a list of properties to be listed on Mankato’s Local Historic Registry. The project begins on October 1, 2010 with an anticipated completion date of February 1, 2011. The project will include conducting historic surveys on 12 properties for potential local designation. “It is wonderful to see so many communities and local organizations benefitting from the Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants,” said Britta Bloomberg, deputy state historic preservation officer. “Minnesotans should be proud of the unprecedented opportunities these grants provide for organizations to preserve and share our history and cultural heritage. The impact of projects supported by Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants will be felt throughout the state for many years to come.” City of Mankato Historic Properties Survey and Local Designation Inventory Form Report Prepared for the City of Mankato Heritage Preservation Commission Prepared by Thomas R.
