DATE: | 11/19/07 STAFF; | SWENCK RECEIPT OF DONATION - OPPORTUNITY GRANTS PROGRAM INFO ACTION RECOMMENDED ACTION : Receive a cash donation of one thousand nine hundred eighty dollars and thirty-seven cents ($1,980.37) in support of the Recreation Department's Opportunity Grants program from Dudek Engineering and Environmental, and recommend acceptance by the City Council. ITEM EXPLANATION : On July 27, 2007, Dudek Engineering and Environmental organized a special "contractors only" golf tournament at The Crossings at Carlsbad. The Golf Course Project contractors and their consultants were asked to make a donation towards the overall cost of organizing and conducting the tournament so that it could be held at no cost to all of the participants. Excess funds collected were generously donated by Dudek Engineering and Environmental to the City's Opportunity Grants program. The following companies donated funds to the event: Douglas Frederickson Architects, SEMA Construction, Wadsworth Golf Construction, Simon Wong Engineering, Greg Nash-Architect, South Coast Erosion Control, Heinbuck Golf, and Jaynes Corporation. This contribution to the Opportunity Grants program will enable the Recreation Department to continue to provide financial assistance to children from low-income families who could not otherwise afford to participate in recreation programming. FISCAL IMPACT: A donation from Dudek Engineering and Environmental in the amount of one thousand nine hundred eighty dollars and thirty-seven cents ($1,980.37) has been deposited into the Recreation Department's Opportunity Grants account.
