Title
CONSIDERATION OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF A DONATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $500 FROM H. JOHN AND EVELYN F. SMITH TO BE USED AT THE NORMAN ANIMAL WELFARE CENTER.
Body
BACKGROUND: H. John & Evelyn F. Smith presented the City of Norman Animal Welfare Center with a donation in the amount of $500. A letter was attached with the donation stating that it is to be used by the Norman Animal Welfare Center for the care of the animals residing at the shelter.
DISCUSSION: This is a private and unsolicited donation for the care of those animals that are residing at the center. Since the Norman Animal Welfare Center is currently in the process of remodeling its facility, it is recommended that these funds be combined with other donations in order to be used during the remodel by having additional funds available if needed during this project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the $500 donation be accepted and deposited into the Animal Control Liability (010-0000-227.24-31). The funds should remain in this account so that during the construction of the new animal shelter they can be used when needed, with Council's approval.
