ACCEPT donation $46,800 from the Trust of Dr. Elizabeth Johnston for the

BACKGROUND:
A few months ago, Lawrence Sebastian, C.P.A., contacted the Animal Services
Director to advise him that the Contra Costa County Animal Services Department
was named as a beneficiary in the estate of Dr. Elizabeth Johnston. On May 20,
2004, we received a check in the amount of $46,800 from the Trust of Dr.
Johnston for the Animal Benefit Fund. We were further advised that this is the
first distribution of the estate. Any remaining portion of this reserve will be
distributed to the beneficiaries, including the Animal Services Department, when
the estate is settled. This Board Order is required for acceptance of this gift
under the procedures established in Administrative Bulletin 117.5.
