The Manager or his designee shall be authorized to accept on behalf of the Municipality any property, material, labor or funds donated or given, whether by gift, devise, bequest, or otherwise, from citizens or groups of citizens of the Municipality, or others, for the development, construction, equipping, operation and maintenance of a recreation area or park and upon provisions or conditions not materially inconsistent with the uses and purposes set forth in Section 945.01 hereof or any development plan adopted or approved by Council; provided, however, that if the provisions and conditions of any such gift or donation are, in the opinion of the Manager or his designee, impractical or materially inconsistent with the intended use of and the development plan for a park or recreational area, the Manager or his designee may reject and refuse any such gift or donation. The Manager or any other Municipal officer, board or authority now or hereafter charged with the management of the parks and recreation areas is hereby directed to administer and manage such funds or property in accordance with the provisions and conditions of such gifts or donations to the extent that such provisions and conditions are not inconsistent with federal and Ohio law and the Charter and codified ordinances of the City of Chardon. All disbursements therefrom shall be made in accordance with the provisions and conditions of such gifts or donation. So long as any donated funds remain in an account for the use of municipal recreation areas and parks, the Finance Director, upon written request made by any donor or an appointee, heir, executor, or successor, shall mail to such person an annual report of the disbursements made from the Fund during the preceding year stating the amount and purpose of each disbursement made.
