These gifts have been in the form of both materials and monies. <br />When staff is notified of a potential donation, they first make a determination of whetherto <br />recommend acceptance based on the suitability of the item for the city. A request for <br />authorization is then forwarded to the City Council. <br />POLICY <br />The following is the City of Roseville's policy regarding the acceptance of donations: <br />■ Minnesota Statute requires all donations to be officially accepted by the City <br />Council. <br />■ The staff will not solicit donations. <br />■ Donors will be informed that no conditions or promises of future favorable <br />city action on their behalf may be attached to the gift. <br />■ Following Council acceptance, staff will send a letter of appreciation to each <br />donor. <br />FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS <br />Approved donations for budgeted items will result in a budget reduction. Items or monies <br />for items or programs not budgeted will not be purchased or conducted unless the Council <br />approves the donations. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends acceptance of these donations. <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Motion authorizing acceptance of the following donations: <br />NAME ITEM <br />Warren&Lorraine Schauer Tree for Arboretum <br />North Suburban General Donation <br />Evening Lions <br />St. Croix Recreation Rosebrook Park Open House <br />Lolita Fischer Ping Pong Table <br />Tom and Ginger Turba Tree, Lexington Park <br />Margaret Kehr Painting, Two Swans <br />In Lake Bennett <br />AMOUNT <br />$ 165.07 <br />$ 1,000.00 <br />$ 242.28 <br />$ 100.00 Value <br />$ 60.00 <br />$ 200.00 Value <br />
