Historv Minnesota State Statute 465.03 requires that the City accept a grant or devise of real or personal property and maintain such property for the benefit of its citizens in accordance with the terms prescribed by the donor. In addition to being a legal requirement, this resolution encourages transparency in government and accountability. Current Circumstances A resolution has been prepared that identifies the donations and grants that were received during the 4th quarter of 2013 and the terms in which they were presented. If a donation or grant was accepted under separate resolution, it has not been included in this current list. While it is certainly our intent to include all donations and grants for the 4th quarter of 2013, we recognize that we may have inadvertently missed some. Those will be addressed in subsequent resolutions. Conclusion Staff is requesting that the Council accept the donations and grants received and authorize them to amend the budget. Staff intends to seek Council acceptance of donations and grants each quarter during the year and amend the budget when appropriate. ISSUES: This agenda item allows City Council to publicly recognize the donations and grants made to the City in the interest of transparency. FINANCIAL Certain donations and grants and their corresponding expenditures are IMPACT: reflected in the annual budget due to their recurring nature. Acceptance of additional donations and grants may result in additional or offsetting expenditures depending on the terms prescribed by the donor. In 2012, the City received approximately $622,006 in grant funding. The City spent approximately $439,803 to complete projects totaling approximately $1,061,809. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the resolution accepting donations and grants received by the City during the 4th quarter of 2013 as presented. 2. Delay action if the Council requires additional information.
