RECOMMENDATION
That Council Adopts a Resolution (Attachment II) Authorizing the City Manager to Accept and Appropriate Donations from Nonprofit, Not-for-Profit, and Other Groups up to $250,000 Per Fiscal Year to Support Library Services and Programs for the Remainder of FY 2024, and Through the End of FY 2026.
SUMMARY
The Library regularly receives donations from nonprofits and other support groups, such as the Friends of the Hayward Public Library and the Hayward Literacy Plus Council. Currently, each of these donations requires separate council approvals to be processed. A streamlined donation acceptance process would enable the Library to ensure funds are deposited and appropriated in a reasonable timeframe to seize time-sensitive purchase opportunities.
Staff requests Council approve and appropriate up to $250,000 in total donations per Fiscal Year to support Library services and programs for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2024, and through the end of Fiscal Year 2026.
