DISCUSSION
Chula Vista Animal Services has received a generous donation in the amount of $106,607.88 from the Hurley Revocable Family Trust in support of the mission and work of Chula Vista Animal Services.
Staff recommends that City Council approve the resolution accepting the donation from the Hurley Revocable Family Trust, amending the fiscal year 202 4-25 budget to appropriate the funds , and authorizing the City Manager or Deputy Director of Animal Services to execute all documents necessary to accept the donation .
The appropriation is fully offset by the donation.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property- related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the resolution will accept a donation from Hurley Revocable Family Trust in the amount of $106,607.88 and amend the fiscal year 2024-25 budget by revising the revenue budget and appropriating $106,607.88 to the Other Expenses category in the Animal Care Facility Donations Fund, resulting in no net fiscal impact.
