Background
'From time to time the City receives cash donations from private citizens for
particular purposes The traditional method of handling such funds has been
to record the receipt outside of the budgeted revenue accounts and to expend
it without reflecting the expenditure in the budget
On November 18 1980 a request from the Finance Department was made to the
City Attorney for an opinion regarding the proper handling of cash donations
On November 21 1980 (Opinion No 0-504) the City Attorney responded indicating
that all funds received by the City regardless of the source do become a part
of the City's treasury and that in order to comply with Section 5 Chapter X, of
the City Charter the City Council must appropriate those funds before they can
be expended properly
Tn response to this opinion the Accounting Division has established Special Gift
Fund No 88 All special gifts will be recorded in this fund and held there
until the donee department requests the use of these funds for a designated pur-
pose At that time a recommendation will be submitted for Council approval to
appropriate the funds to the budget of an operating fund
Police Department Donations
The Police Department has received Bash donations that total $26 998 to date
The largest single donation was $25 000 and was received in October, 1980 The
donors have put no stipulations on the use of the money other than it be used in
the Police Department The Police Department proposes to use these funds for
special training equipment and other high priority needs as they occur
The Police Department has identified needs for the remainder of the current
fiscal year which are estimated to cost $16 000 These funds will be subject
to the same controls reviews and approvals as regular budgeted funds
Recommendations
Tt is recommended that
1) $16 000 be transferred from Special Gift Fund No 88 to the revenues of the
General Fund and APpR
