Agenda Item Summary


Name: Consideration of a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea accepting gifts totaling $100,000 and gifts in kind for the Ocean Avenue Median Renovation Project.

Description: The City has received gifts and pledges totaling $100,000 and gifts in kind for the Ocean Avenue Median Renovation Project. The list of donors and amounts are listed on the attached Resolution. Amounts have been gifted or pledged based on the following five median sections: a) Junipero to Mission, b) Mission to San Carlos, c) San Carlos to Dolores, d) Dolores to Lincoln, and e) Lincoln to Monte Verde. The five median sections have gifts or pledges of $20,000 each for a total of $100,000.

On December 6, 2005, the City Council accepted the first gift for the Ocean Avenue Median Project when it adopted Resolution 2005-73 accepting a donation from the Larry Farrell/Carmel Rotary Club Fund for $10,000.

Including the Larry Farrell/Carmel Rotary Club Fund $10,000 gift, the City has received $75,000 in gifts, $25,000 in pledges, and gifts in kind for landscape architect and design services. The City expects to receive the pledged amounts in the very near future.

A special deposit account was established to hold the donated monies until the City incurs the renovation project expenses. The deposit account number is 50-24050-0580.

Overall Cost: City Funds: n/a
Grant Funds: n/a
Staff time: n/a

Staff Recommendation: Approve the resolution accepting the gifts and pledges totaling $100,000 and the gifts in kind and authorize the use of the funds for the Ocean Avenue Median Renovation Project.

Important Considerations: City Policy C89-41 requires City Council approval for all donations and gifts to the City with a value in excess of $1,000.

Decision Record: Resolution 2005-72 dated December 5, 2005, which approved acceptance of the Larry Farrell/Carmel Rotary Club Fund $10,000 gift.
