CONSIDERATION OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF A DONATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $500 FROM MELINDA MCCARTHY TO BE USED AT THE NORMAN ANIMAL WELFARE CENTER.
Body
BACKGROUND: Melinda McCarthy presented the City of Norman Animal Welfare Center with a donation in the amount of $500. In accordance with the City Code, Section 8-111, any donation in excess of $250 must be accepted by the City Council. This item is being brought forward for that purpose.
DISCUSSION: This is a private unsolicited donation for the care of those animals that are residing at the shelter. Since the Norman Animal Welfare Center is currently in the process of remodeling these funds could be combined with other donations. This would assist during the remodel by having additional funds available if needed during this project.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the $500 donation be accepted and deposited into Animal Control Liability account (010-0000-227-24-31). The funds have been deposited into this account pending Council's approval.
