SUBJECT: DONATION OF $1,500 FROM THE LEE FAMILY FOR THE PURCHASE
OF BOOKS AND MATERIALS
Recommendation: Accept
SUMMARY
Mrs. Lee and her family regularly visit the Arcadia Public Library and think it is the best
library around. To show their gratitude and appreciation for the Library, they are making
a $1,500 cash donation to the Library for the purchase of new materials.
DISCUSSION
The Lee family visits the Library two to three times a week with their children. They love
all that the Library has to offer and would like to make a $1,500 cash donation for new
materials. This generous gift will allow the Library to purchase $1,500 in additional new
books and materials for the public. All gifts to the Library over $1,000 are subject to
approval by the City Council pursuant to City Charter Section 809(d).
FISCAL IMPACT
The Library has a finite Materials budget and generous cash donations such as this
$1,500 will allow for additional materials to be purchased that can be enjoyed by the
public.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council accept a cash donation of $1,500 from the Lee
family for the purchase of books and materials.
