Recommendation
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to accept and appropriate donations from library patrons to support library services and programs.

SUMMARY
The Library occasionally receives mid-size donations ($1,000 to $50,000) from various donor organizations and individuals. Each of these donations currently requires separate Council approval in order to be processed. A streamlined donation acceptance process enables the Library to ensure checks are deposited before they become stale dated, capitalize on spontaneous acts of generosity, and seize time-sensitive purchase opportunities.
Staff requests Council adopt a resolution superseding Resolution No. 23-006 to approve up to $150,000 in total donations ($50,000 or less individually) to support library services and programs for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2024, and through the end of Fiscal Year 2026.
