SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution acknowledging fulfillment of
Target Corporation's Commitment to donate $250,000 to the San Rafael Public Library Foundation.
BACKGROUND:
In 2012, in conjunction with the plans to build the Target store on Shoreline Parkway in San Rafael,
Target Corporation and Shoreline landowner Cal -Pox Inc. agreed to designate $250,000 in an escrow
fund to be donated in $25,000 increments every year for ten years to the San Rafael Public Library
Foundation for the purposes of building new and improved library facilities in San Rafael. This condition
was written into the use permit Target obtained from the City of San Rafael. This use permit was
addressed in Condition No. 10 of Resolution No. 13143 and Section 5 of Resolution No. 13141, each of
which were adopted by the San Rafael City Council in connection with the development of the Target
property.
The first four years ($100,000) of donations were received by the San Rafael Public Library Foundation.
This year, Target opted to close out this obligation with one final lump sum payment of $150,000 to the
San Rafael Public Library Foundation, and receipt thereof has been acknowledged by the Foundation.
ANALYSIS:
The receipt of the agreed upon total of $250,000 by the San Rafael Public Library Foundation fulfills
Target Corporation's obligations and commitment pursuant to Condition No. 10 of Resolution No.
13143 and Section 5 of Resolution No. 13141, each of which were adopted by the San Rafael City
Council in connection with the development of the Target property.
