DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW <br />3. The donation covers the full cost for the purchase, recognition installation, and if required, <br />maintenance during the expected life span of the feature. <br />4. The donation shall not typically result in an increase to the City's budget. Recipients shall <br />bear in mind that donations are typically to be considered one-time supplements to <br />Departments and should not be used to develop new programs or services which would require <br />budget supplements from the City in the current or subsequent years. <br />5. Accounting for the item or fund shall not be excessively difficult. <br />6. The donation contains equipment that does not require extensive repair or maintenance, and <br />if so, maintenance support is available and not burdensome. <br />7. The donation does not require the purchase of a burdensome amount of additional items in <br />order for it to be useful. <br />8. The donation does not present a conflict of interest for the City or its employees. <br />9. The donation shall not interfere with the intended current or future use of the facility. <br />10. Pursuant to Minnesota Statute 465.03, "Nothing herein shall authorize such acceptance or <br />use for religious or sectarian purposes." <br />11. The donation does not require the relocation of other equipment or infrastructure to <br />accommodate it, unless the expense of such accommodation is included in the donation. <br />12. The City shall not accept sponsorships under conditions where sponsorship advertising <br />detracts from, disrupts or adversely affects the experience or value of the service being <br />provided. <br />13. The donated item or service shall not pose an unacceptable level of liability to the City. <br />14. If there is any question as to the legal owner of the donated item, proof of ownership may <br />be requested. <br />15. The public shall refrain from creating a shrine. <br />16. No upright monuments or monuments resembling those typically found in cemeteries shall <br />be accepted or installed at any City facility. The only exception to this criterion is the Veteran's <br />Memorial monument. <br />17. No donations or sponsorships shall be accepted from individuals, groups or businesses that <br />demand that, in return for their donation, the City advertise alcohol, tobacco, gambling or <br />pornography. <br />Donations Policy Draft for Public Review <br />3.27.12 <br />
