In particular, the <br />Mayor expressed a concern about the equity of certified 5 01 (e) organizations using facilities at <br />rl � o n S t l Lit 1"1 P l the o 1" +ai n; z � l V n i 1 o "Ve L L 1� c o #�.-rti 0- 4- <br />i A} %.?% -v 4 ■ LAW 4 � 1 � L1L � �e ��el ilLll�g con <br />LL al Y 4G IRS 50 1 (c) requirements. <br />I have reviewed this matter with Lonnie Broke. Lennie informed me that in fact <br />several years ago a 501 (c) organization was operating in a questionable manner, and the City <br />addressed the situation with the organization. <br />Given nay conversation with Lonnie I suggest that the City Facility Use Policy include <br />the following language; <br />Any organization using City facilities at no cost that is a <br />0 1 (c) organization shall provide a copy of its 0 1 (e <br />certificate to the City. If the City obtains information that <br />would reasonably call into question the organization's 501(e) <br />status, the City shall, as deemed appropriate, forward the <br />inforrnatio n to the Internal Revenue Service, or other entity <br />responsible for monitoring 50 1 (e) organization activities. <br />
