WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, has determined that the Carlsbad
Library & Arts Foundation has generously offered to donate $235,116 to the City of Carlsbad’s Library
& Cultural Arts department, as follows: $75,211 from its Robert H. Gartner Endowment Fund, $104,165
from its Benson Family Endowment Fund, $15,740 from the Cannon Endowment Fund, and $40,000
from the general non-endowment funds; and
WHEREAS, acceptance of this donation will provide enhanced cultural programming in the Ruby
G. Schulman Auditorium and William D. Cannon Art Gallery, facilitate the purchase of library materials,
fund programs and services at the Library Learning Center, and support the installation of an
instrumental sculpture outside the Georgina Cole Library.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, as
follows:
1.That the above recitations are true and correct.
2.The proposed action is not a “project” as defined by CEQA Section 21065 and CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) and does not require environmental review under CEQA
Guidelines Section 15602(c)(3) because accepting the donation is a government fiscal
activity and does not in itself involve any commitment to any specific project which may
result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. Accepting the
donation does not have a legally binding effect on any possible future discretionary
action. The activities or projects for which this funding will be used may require
preparation of an environmental document in accordance with CEQA and CEQA
Guidelines. The proposed action will not foreclose review of alternatives or mitigation
measures by the public as part of the environmental review process.
3.That the City Council gratefully accepts the donation of $235,116 from the Carlsbad
Library & Arts Foundation.
