Introduction:
The purpose of this memorandum is to acknowledge smaller donations that have recently
been received by the City.
Background:
Resolution No. 5794, approved November 6, 2002, states that periodically, the City
Administrator shall prepare and bring to the City Council for adoption, a resolution
acknowledging the receipt and the acceptance of non-cash donations valued at less than
$500, and cash.donations valued as less than $1000 that have been received by city staff.
Recently, the City has received the following donations:
1. October, 2008--$50.00 received from Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brooks, 644 Roundhouse
Street, in appreciation of assistance rendered by the police department. They request that
it be put to "good use in the police department". They have been notified that this was
used to purchase supplies.
2. November, 2008--$300 payment ill lieu of taxes for City services to property located
at 1269 Applewood Way, as owned by Mt. Olivet Rolling Acres. We understand this to
be a religious organization.
In order to comPly with City policy, a resolution (attached) should be adopted.
