groups to promote civic involvement and charitable contributions that enhance the quality of
life in Golden Valley; and

Community Foundation be created to serve as a focal point for fundraising and charitable

good work in support of the community; and
WHEREAS, a Golden Valley Community Foundation would provide a clear path for
residents and businesses to support community members and activities that build
community; and

wholeheartedly supported by the City Council;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Golden Valley hereby
declares its support for the creation of an independent Golden Valley Community
Foundation that will solicit cash and in-kind donations to benefit the Golden Valley
