the proposal should come from th.e Board to the City Hanager
stating purpose, etc. Hr. Hurray suggested the name of
II City c: f ClearHateI'. Library Trust Fund", Hi th the PU1"pose
of an opportunity for people to pledge support for the
Library. There was general d~scussion with suggestions
to set up a foundation without the City Commission's
control over the use of the funds. Funds would not have
to be limited to money, for example art collections, land,
etc. If the trust fund could be set up according to City
code and \,,i thout the Commission's control over fundo, it
Has :3ugeested that the name might be Public Library Trust fund
City of Clearwater. Rita Garvey will check the City code
to see if this is pas sible.. 1-11". Royer mnde c'1 motion that
