Analysis
This resolution accepts and appropriates a donation of $13,104.10 from the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee (“CFMT”) to the Metropolitan Human Relations Commission (“MHRC”) and authorizes MHRC to expend the donated funds to further its duties, responsibilities, and mission.
The proposed donation is from the CFMT’s Metro Human Relations Commission Support Fund. The funds were given by the late Iris Buhl, which established the fund before her death based on her previous service as a commissioner with MHRC. The MHRC Support Fund was established to further the mission and vision of MHRC and enable MHRC to provide the best and most innovative programs to promote tolerance and understanding among all groups living in Nashville and Davidson County.
Metropolitan Code of Laws § 5.04.120 provides that the Metropolitan Council can approve donations by resolution.
