RESOLUTION NO. 2025-07
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GONZALES
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO WITHDRAW THE FUNDING DONATED
FOR THE DENNIS AND JANICE CAPRARA COMMUNITY CENTER COMPLEX FROM
THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ACCOUNT
WHEREAS, as the City of Gonzales embarked on its Capital Campaign for the Community Center Complex, it was important to provide potential donors with the assurance that all monies donated for the Complex would be held in one pot and would only be used for the development of the Community Cetner Complex; and
WHEREAS, to do that, we needed to find a reputable partner that understood our needs and supported the vision for the Community Center Complex; and WHEREAS, the Community Foundation for Monterey County was gracious enough to work with us and establish a fund in which such donations could be made to and held for the purposed Community Center Complex; and
WHEREAS, today, we are well on our way to making the Community Center Complex a reality, with construction planned for completion at the end of 2025 and its grand opening early 2026; and WHEREAS, we have drawn down $5.6 million already from the Community Foundation account, and currently have $285,682.87 in the account ready to be drawn down; and WHEREAS, we need the money as we are making headway on the project and are well into its construction.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Gonzales hereby authorizes the City Manager to withdraw the current amount of $285,682.87 and deposit it into the City’s Community Center Fund Balance.
