DONATION OF AUTOMOBILES TO THE TUSTIN AREA'SENIOR CENTER
FUND, INC.
RECOMMENDATION
To accept two automobiles from Mr. Robert Voorhies as gifts on
behalf of the Tustin Area Senior Center Fund; and to authorize
staff to sell the automobiles at auction with the proceeds given
to the Tustin Area Senior Center Fund, Inc.
BACKGROUND
Mr. Robert Voorhies has approached Margarete Thompson, Vice
President of the Tustin Area Senior Center Fund, Inc., regarding
donating two more automobiles to benefit the Senior Center Fund.
In November~ 1988, Mr. Voorhies donated two automobiles which
were sold at auction bringing the Fund to more than $1,000. He
would like us to utilize these additional cars similarly.
Upon Council approval of the gifts, Mr. Voorhies will transfer
title of the automobiles. He is requesting a release of
liability from the City.
Staff has been working with the Field Services Department
regarding coordinating the cars with the auction. The cost of
the sale, roughly six per cent, would be taken from the sale
price with remaining monies going to the fund. . .
Mr. Voorhies is donating a 1977 Buick with 40,000 miles and a
1984 Renault Fuego with 65,000. These cars could bring the fund
more money than the last two since they are newer with less miles
on them.
Fund Vice President, Margarete Thompson, will be on hand at the
City Council meeting to answer questions on the donation.
Attached is a copy of the letter from ~Voorhies. .
