RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to accept $30,000 from the Moirao Family Trust - Surviving Spouse’s Trust, to be used by the Hayward Animal Shelter (the Shelter) for the continued operation of the Community Cats Trap, Neuter, and Return Program, and to purchase replacement kennels for the Shelter’s small animal room.
SUMMARY
The Hayward Animal Shelter has been named as a beneficiary of a cash gift from the Moirao Family Trust - Surviving Spouse’s Trust (the Trust). Pursuant to the Trust, thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) is to be given “to the City of Hayward, California strictly for the benefit of the Hayward Animal Shelter and the animals for which it provides care.”
The Hayward Animal Shelter is proposing to use $15,000 of the $30,000 gift for the continued operation of the Community Cats Trap, Neuter, and Return program. The Shelter would like to use the other $15,000 to purchase replacement kennels for the Shelter’s small animal room. The Shelter plans to place a donor recognition plaque on the new bank of kennels to memorialize this wonderful gift the Moirao family has bestowed upon the City of Hayward, and the animals it serves.
