These gifts have been in the form of both materials and monies. When staff is notified of a potential donation, they first make a determination of whether to recommend acceptance based on the suitability of the item for the city. A request for authorization is then forwarded to the City Council.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Approved donations for budgeted items will result in a budget reduction. Items or monies for items or programs not budgeted will not be purchased or conducted unless the Council approves the donations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends acceptance of these donations.
