Subject: Acceptance of an $88,577 donation from the Lee and Maria Elson Trust.
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution accepting an $88,577 donation from the Lee and Maria Elson Trust and any
subsequent donation upon final distribution.
Executive Summary
Lee and Maria Elson designated the Carlsbad Senior Center Trust Fund as a beneficiary of their
trust. Per CMC 2.08.100 donations over $5,000 must be accepted by the City Council.
Discussion
In late 2016, the Carlsbad Parks & Recreation Department received correspondence from the
attorney for the Lee and Maria Elson Trust, which stated that one-third of the trust had been
left to the Carlsbad Senior Center Trust Fund, for senior programs. The senior center has since
received a distribution of $88,577 from the trust and could receive a subsequent final
distribution following after-acquired assets.
Fiscal Analysis
The Elson trust donation, and any subsequent donation upon final distribution, will be
deposited in the Carlsbad Senior Center Trust Fund, with a designation that all expenditures
must be made in support of senior programs.
Next Steps
Parks & Recreation staff will request appropriation of the funds through the regular budget
process or as part of a capital project as appropriate, both subject to council approval, in
accordance with the Elsons' wishes to support senior programs.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change
in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment,
and therefore does not require environmental review.
