CITY PROPOSAL:

FURTHER RESOLVED, that such monetary gifts shall be deposited in appropriate accounts and used only in accordance with the expressed wishes of the donor.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the amount and purpose of all such gifts accepted by the city administrator or their designee shall be communicated in writing by the finance director to the city council on an annual basis.

Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the city administrator or their designee to accept monetary gifts/donations for the benefits of its citizens, of $10,000 or less made to the city. It replaces Resolution 18-0758 which expired at the end of 2023. This resolution streamlines the process for accepting monetary gifts valued at $10,000 or less by eliminating the need for council approval for each individual gift. The amount and purpose of all such gifts accepted shall be communicated in writing by the finance director to the city council on an annual basis.
An exception to this authority exists if matching city funds are required. In such event, the gift would require city council acceptance. The authorization provided in this resolution will sunset on December 31, 2030.
