SUBJECT: Allocation of $50,000 from the May Trust to the Friends of the
Orinda Library
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the County Library Librarian to allocate $50,000 from the Edgar O. and Edith M. May Library
Trust account for a naming opportunity for the new Orinda Library.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Provides $50,000 to be used exclusively for the Orinda Library as provided for when the funds were
donated.
BACKGROUND
The Mays were long-time Orinda residents. In April 2001 the Library received a donation of $50,000
each to the Orinda and Pleasant Hill Libraries from their Family Trust, to be used exclusively for the two
libraries. Staff worked with the Orinda Friends of the Library and the City of Orinda to determine the
best use of the trust funds. The City of Orinda and the Orinda Friends agree that the best use of the
funds is a naming opportunity for the new Orinda Library. The Mays will be added to the list of those
who contributed funds for this library building. Naming this building would not fall within the parameters
of the Board Policy on this subject, because the Orinda Library building is owned by the Orinda Friends,
and Board Policy speaks to County-owned buildings. The funds contributed by the May family for the
Pleasant Hill Library will continue to be invested until a use is determined.
