Council thanks Horse Week for $40,000 in community donations
Summary
Council member Bash publicly acknowledged Horse Week's $40,000 contribution — $20,000 each to the Rose Eldridge Senior Center and Norco Animal Shelter — and noted the group's role in raising funds for a Norco High School memorial flagpole project; the council approved the consent item unanimously.
Council member Bash used the consent-item pull to publicly acknowledge a $40,000 gift presented by Horse Week, split into two $20,000 designations for the Rose Eldridge Senior Center and the Norco Animal Shelter. Bash thanked volunteers and organizers for fundraising and for contributing to a memorial flagpole project at Norco High School, noting the community value of those events and volunteer efforts.
Bash praised volunteers and noted the city benefits from donations that supplement programs and services. "And we just expect that, and the reality is is behind the scenes you've got people, they're just running as fast as they can," Bash said, praising volunteer work that supports city events. The council moved and approved the consent calendar (with the pulled item) by voice vote, and the motions passed unanimously.
The donations will be processed as part of the consent calendar approval; staff did not provide further budgetary detail at the meeting.
