WHEREAS, Section 1157.2 of the Government Code provides that "with the approval of the governing body of a public agency and under such regulations as it may prescribe, employees of the public agency may authorize deductions to be made from their salaries or wages either for the payment of contributions to bona fide charitable organizations or for the payment of designated sums to a nonprofit California corporation which is compelled by its bylaws to make, and which does expend such sums solely by the making of contributions to bona fide charitable organizations;" and WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa desires to minimize loss of pro- ductive work time from public business by City employes occasioned by charitable fund drives in City facilities; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa considers a single, combined fund drive on behalf of charitable organizations to be more efficient, effective, and equitable than multiple fund drives and, thus, in the best interest of Costa Mesa and its employees; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa in determining which organization is best suited to conduct the single, combined fund drive among Costa Mesa employees has considered the following criteria: 1. The number of charitable agencies in the City of Costa Mesa which rely on the drive for their support; 2. The number of dollars raised in the City of Costa Mesa during the last completed fund drive; 3. The percentage of dollars dispersed to charitable agencies as a result of the drive; 4. The organization using the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) standards of accounting for financial reporting; 5. The extent of the research of the community needs and the extent of the evaluation of the agencies supported. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa hereby finds that the question of designation of a single agency to conduct the annual charitable fund drive for Costa Mesa employees is not subject to an election; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa hereby approves and provides, subject to such regulations as the City Manager may prescribe consistent herewith, that charitable payroll deductions from the salaries or wages of employees of the City of Costa Mesa are available for charitable contributions to the combined fund drive of the United Way of Orange County North/South, and may be limited thereto.
