Councilmember Enriques questioned why no resolution was generated to accept the monetary
donation. Finance Director Nancy Crawford explained that it was an internal Finance
Department policy to only generate a resolution for donations of $100 or more to save on
paperwork.
Four Committee on Finance recommends the acceptance of the donation of $167.42.
