To:Scott C. Stiles

From:Kimberly Huy
Dept.:City Manager 

Dept.: Community Services 
Subject:

Consideration of a donation to KiwanisLand in Garden Grove. (Donation: approximately $100 value.) (Action Item)

Date:3/14/2017

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this memorandum is to request that the City Council consider a donation to KiwanisLand in Garden Grove of a surplus television monitor from the Garden Grove Community Meeting Center.

BACKGROUND

This past February, the Community Meeting Center acquired two new television monitors as part of the renovations that were completed in the Council Chamber. The Council Chamber's old television monitor was scheduled to be sent to the Warehouse as a "surplus good," where it would be bundled with other surplus items and sold at a Public Auction. The KiwanisLand facility located at 9840 Larson Avenue, Garden Grove, was recently burglarized, and staff is requesting that the City Council consider donating this television monitor to replace the KiwanisLand's stolen television monitor. 

DISCUSSION

Since 1969, KiwanisLand has been managed by the Kiwanis Club of Garden Grove that is a local community based organization. KiwanisLand serves an average park attendance each year of 12,000 individuals with the club's main focus of serving the local youth and children.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

While the exact value of the television monitor is unknown, staff has estimated the total donation value to be approximately $100.00. 

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council: 

 

  • Authorize the donation of the television monitor to KiwanisLand in Garden Grove.
