HomeMy WebLinkAbout05(B) - Resolution Accepting Donations and Grants to the City During the 1st Quarter 2026 Report
ITEM: 5B
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 28, 2026
PREPARED BY: Bradley Smith, Accountant
PRESENTED BY: Nicole Klekner, Finance Director
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Accepting Donations and Grants to the City During the
1st Quarter 2026
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the 1st Quarter of 2026 Donations and Grants as submitted.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider acceptance of donations and grants made to the
City during January, February, and March 2026 and to authorize city staff to amend the budget
for any additional revenues received and expenditures that may be incurred to comply with grant
agreement and restricted donations.
Minnesota State Statute 465.03 requires that the City accept a grant or demise 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.
A resolution has been prepared that identifies the donations and grants that were received during
the first quarter of 2026 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 first quarter of 2026, we recognize that we
may have inadvertently missed some. Those will be addressed in subsequent resolutions.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Certain donations and grants and their corresponding expenditures are 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.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Motion and second as part of the consent agenda to approve the 1st Quarter of 2026
Donations and Grants as submitted.
2. Motion and second to remove the Donations and Grants from the consent agenda for
additional discussion.
