HomeMy WebLinkAbout9/6/2000 - STAFF REPORTS (27) l DATE: September 6, 2000 TO: City Council FROM: Director of Finance& Treasurer TOPIC: DISPOSITION OF SAVINGS FROM COUNCILMEMBER JONES' SALARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council consider Councilmember Jones' request that the salary which he has opted not to take for Fiscal Year 1999-2000, $3,290, be donated to the Palm Springs Youth Center, and for Fiscal Year 2000-01, his annual salary of$5,640 be accounted for so that he may designate the recipient non-profit or charity at a later date. BACKGROUND: As a Councilmember, Mr. Jones is eligible for a monthly salary of$470. Since being seated on the Council in December, 1999, he has opted not to accept a salary. The amount saved by the City for Fiscal Year 1999-00 is $3,290, and represents budgeted funds which remained unspent. The savings for Fiscal Year 2000-01 amount to $5640, and were not included in this year's budget. Councilmember Jones has requested that the salary savings from last fiscal year be donated to the Palm Springs Youth Center, and that the savings from the current fiscal year be placed in an account, with the recipient to be designated at a later date. The attached budget amendment would appropriate $8,930 in the FY 00-01 budget in the City Council cost center under Education/Grants. Also, attached are two minute orders, the first authorizing a$3,290 contribution to the Palm Springs Youth Center and the second authorizing Councilmember Jones to designate the recipient at a later date. Although somewhat complicated, these procedures are necessary to comply with both the City's procedures on budgeting, and the Internal Revenue Code's rules on the giving of restricted gifts.
