County to accept $126,900 estate gift to SCRAPS; plaque and needlepoint memorial to be placed
Summary
A personal representative notified the county that an estate gift of about $126,900 will be donated to SCRAPS; commissioners scheduled a consent resolution for the following day's session to accept the funds and to dedicate a plaque and needlepoint display.
Spokane County staff placed a resolution on the consent calendar for the next scheduled session to accept an estate gift of $126,900 to SCRAPS, the county’s animal welfare organization, and to authorize placement of a commemorative plaque and the donor’s needlepoint in SCRAPS facilities.
The donation and recognition were described by Diana, who identified herself as the personal representative for the donor. Diana told the commission she had cared for the donor for years and described the donor’s history of bringing cats to SCRAPS; the donor had previously arranged for each pet’s cremation and asked that a needlepoint be displayed at the facility as part of the memorial.
County staff noted a small inconsistency between amounts shown on the printed agenda and the draft resolution; staff said they corrected the resolution to the final value (the resolution in the packet was updated to reflect the correct amount). Commissioners scheduled the resolution to be considered at the county’s 2 p.m. consent session the following day and offered to have the chair and Diana present for a short recognition and photograph.
Ending: County staff will present the finalized resolution on the consent agenda at the next public session; commissioners and staff indicated they would attend to make brief remarks and photograph the presentation.
