EXHIBIT "C"
<br /> DONATION, SPONSORSHIP, AND CITY-RELATED FOUNDATIONS GRANT
<br /> POLICY
<br /> 1. PURPOSE
<br /> In the past, the City has been the beneficiary of many important and valuable
<br /> contributions and gifts from the residents of Redwood City. Gifts and donations have
<br /> taken the form of time, money, art, equipment, park amenities, and services rendered
<br /> free or below cost, among other valuable commodities.
<br /> This policy is intended to establish a framework to direct the City in establishing
<br /> guidelines for acceptance of donations, sponsorships, and City-related foundation
<br /> grants. The City desires to support the City and City-related foundations to pursue
<br /> donations, sponsorships, and grants with the purpose of creating opportunities for
<br /> partnerships and enhancing revenue for the City. The City also encourages Public-
<br /> Private Partnerships that provide donations, funding, and volunteer assistance to
<br /> support and enhance City services.
<br /> 2. DEFINITIONS
<br /> 2.1. Amenity: An improvement located on City property which is less than the
<br /> entire portion of a City property, such as a wall at a park, a plaza in front of
<br /> a City building, a trail located along City property, or an interior room or
<br /> rooms in a building. An amenity may include any of the following if located
<br /> on City property: plazas that constitute only a portion of a larger parcel of
<br /> City property, gazebos, archways, paths, decks or patios, portions of a
<br /> library collection, interpretive centers, educational installations, computer
<br /> labs, athletic facilities that are not fully enclosed structures, playing fields,
<br /> portions of aquatic facilities that are not enclosed structures or City
<br /> buildings, picnic areas, tot lots, play structures, hard courts, and trail
<br /> segments. Fully enclosed structures such as a City building with walls and
<br /> a roof (examples being a community center, stand-alone gym, warehouse,
<br /> or stand-alone building housing a restroom and locker room) are not
<br /> considered to be an amenity.
<br /> 2.2. Donation: A person or entity providing the City with financial support or
<br /> property of a value exceeding the City's payment for such item.
<br /> Furthermore, a donor typically does not expect to receive a substantial
<br /> return or recognition from the City in return for the donation. A donation may
<br /> consist of an amenity, cash, real property (land), in-kind donation, or work
<br /> of art. Donations may be unrestricted or restricted by the donor.
<br /> 2.3. Donor: A company, organization, or individual who provides the City, or one
<br /> of the City departments, a donation without expectation of significant return
<br /> or recognition.
