Title
Adoption of Resolution 2020-12 establishing that certain unclaimed property at the Smyrna museum is a gift to and owned by the museum.
Body
ISSUE AND BACKGROUND:
The City has taken over operation of the Smyrna Museum and through that process found various items of property with no historical significance or other value. Over several years this property was received from unknown sources who have made no efforts to claim the property. This property has continuously remained in the museum from the time that it was received. Based on these circumstances, it is reasonable to assume that this property was intended as a gift. To house, catalog and display only meaningful pieces with historical significance, the City adopts this resolution so that the unclaimed property is conclusively presumed to be a gift to and owned by, the museum.
RECOMMENDATION / REQUESTED ACTION: Adoption of Resolution 2020-12 establishing that certain unclaimed property at the Smyrna museum is a gift to and owned by the museum.
