Pursuant to City policy, any donation of $1,000 or more shall be approved by the City Council. It is recommended that the City Council accept this donation. DISCUSSION The Hakka Foundation would like to make a $1,000 donation to be used specifically for the Juried Photography Contest prizes. All judged and accept ed entries for the contest will be hung in the final exhibition at the Museum and 1 st, 2nd, 3rd, and honorable mention winners will be announced at the opening reception. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA. FISCAL IMPACT The Gilb Museum of Arcadia Heritage has a very limited budget and generous cash donations such as this allow for the Juried Photography Contest to award a small prize to each of its winners this year and three additional years into the future.
