HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL

AUGUST 6, 2001
APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE DISPOSAL OF
SURPLUS PROPERTY
City Council to consider a resolution declaring the property listed in Exhibit "A" of the
resolution as surplus and/or salvage and to authorize the donation of this property to the
Casa Hogar Quinta Manuelita Orphanage in our sister city, Parras, Coahuila, Mexico.
BACKGROUND:
When representatives from Grapevine visited Parras last year, they toured La Quinta
Manelita orphanage and learned of its dire financial situation. The Casa Hogar Quinta
Manuelita was founded by Evaristo and Manuelita Madero in 1902. The La Quinta
Manuelita, which has been an important part of the community for almost 100 years,
operates on funds collected solely through private donations and fundraising. The
orphanage can accommodate up to 60 girls; however, currently houses only 30 girls due
to lack of funding. This vehicle will help the orphanage with all of its transportation
needs.
Staff recommends donation of the vehicle to La Quinta in the City of Parras. The vehicle
will be formally presented to Parras representatives in the early fall.
