TO: THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: THE CITY MANAGERS OFFICE
COUNCIL MEETING DATE
NOVEMBER 2, 1988
SUBJECT: DELIVERY OF UNCLAIMED TOYS AND BICYCLES TO THE UNITED STATES MARINE. CORPS
"TOYS FOR TOTS" CAMPAIGN
PREPARED BY: City Attorney
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The U. S. Marine Corps' "Toys For Tots" campaign,
working in conjunction with the San Joaquin County
Department of Aging, Childrens' and Community
Services, has requested that the City Council consider turning over to the toy
drive all unclaimed bicycles and toys held by the Lodi Pclice Department, in
lieu of selling these items at auction, as has been done in the past.
Under Welfare and Institutions Code § 217, the Council may, by ordinance, turn
over all unclaimed toys and bicycles held by the Police Department for more
than 60 days to nonprofit organizations to be used "... in a program or
activity designed to prevent juvenile delinquency."
The County department of Aging, Childrens' and Community Services appears to.
meet all criteria specified in the statute, thus satisfying the requirements -
stated that the organization to which the toys and bicycles are turned over. be
nonprofit, and that the toys and bicycles be used in a program designed to
prevent juvenile delinquency.
I believe there is adequate justification, if the Council desires to do so, to
utilize the provisions of § 217 to authorize the delivery of the toys and
bicycles for distribution i n conjunction with the Marine Corps' "Toys 'For,
Tots" campaign.
However, since the Welfare and Institutions code section specifies that the
Council must act by ordinance, if it wishes to approve the proposal, t he
Council should act by urgency ordinance, in order to allow the delivery of the
toys in time for Christmas. Otherwise, the final adoption of the trdinanc.e
would not occur u n t i 1 December, which would probably not allow timely delivery
of the items.
Respectfully submitted,
BOB McNATT
