CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: January 15, 1974
ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Expressing Appreciation for the Gift of $5,000
contributed by the Stephen & Mary Birch Foundation, Inc. to
the Chula Vista Public Library
INITIATED BY: Ci ty Attorney
BACKGROUND
An unsolicited and delightfully surprising gift of $5,000 has been
made to the Chula Vista Public Library by the Stephen & Mary Birch
Foundation, Inc. of Dover, Delaware.
Undoubtedly, the impetus for such gift comes from a good friend
of Chula Vista, Mary B. Patrick, owner and operator of the Otay
Ranch. Through the years, the Library has received numerous gifts
all of which were appreciated, but none of such magnitude.
It is to be hoped that this gift will stimulate othemto make
similar contributions to enhance the operation of our Library,
and, in fact, a call was received by the City Attorney's office
requesting information as to the tax deductibility of such gifts.
There are deductible. It is hoped that the formal recognition
of this gift will further stimulate such generous impulses.
A resolution to this end has been prepared.
