HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
HISTORICAL SOCIETY RENT
RECOMMENDATION:
Pleasure of the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Historical Society is requesting a City'contribution of $5,700
for fiscal year 1995-96.
BACKGROUND'.
In June 1994, the City Council authorized an agreement with the
Historical Society which provided the City would contribute $5,700
in fiscal year 1994-95 toward the Society's rent. Per the attached
letter, the Society is requesting an extension of the agreement
through June 30, 1996.
DISCUSSION:
If the City Council approves the Society's request, the current
agreement could be.extended through June 30, 1996. The draft 1995-
96 budget would include an appropriation from the General Fund,
unless another source of funding can be identified. One option the
City Council might want' to consider is -requesting the Tustin
Community Foundation to ascertain whether it could provide total or
partial funding of the Society's request. Even if Foundation funds
are not available at this time, it might want to consider working
with the Society to identify a long range funding strategy.

Dear Mr. Huston:
Thank you for your interest in the Historical Society and our phone conversation
of this morning. Last year the $5,700 contributed by the City to pay the rent on
the building where the museUm is housed was a major factor in making 1994 a
success both historically and financially. A contribution of $5,700 for 1995 would
make it possible for us to continue our activities without spending any of our
meager financial reserves.
We intend to continue our efforts to gain more members and thus become
financially more independent. I am. also interested in following up on your
suggestion of my attending meetings concerning the future of. Old Town Tustin.
We are available to help the city preserve the history of Tustin and to serve the
best interests of its citizens.
Thank you again for your interest and support.
Sincerely,
D vi .
