SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO REIMBURSE MEMBER OF
HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION FOR EXPENSES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMEMATION:
Approve and authorize the Auditor-Controller to reimburse Cy
Epstein, member of the Human Relations Commission, for expenses
incurred in establishing a tax-exempt organization (Friends of
the Human Relations Commission) to raise funds for the work of
the Commission.
BACKGROUND:
The Human Relations Commission has been working for sometime to
establish a tax-exempt, non-profit organization which could raise
funds for the work of the Commission. Businesses and individuals
are reluctant to donate funds to the Commission or the County
currently because there is a question regarding whether such
donations qualify as a charitable contribution. The
establishment of a clearly tax-exempt, non-profit entity will
remove such questions and allow the Commission to raise funds
privately, something which the Board of Supervisors has
encouraged the Commission to do. The expenditure in question is
a fee of $300 which is due to the Internal Revenue Service for
the purpose of obtaining such tax-exempt status for the Friends
of the Human Relations Commission organization.
