The City Council may accept any grant or devise of real estate, or any gift or request of money or other personal property or any donation to be applied (either principal or income) for either temporary or permanent use for playground or recreational centers or recreational purposes; but if the acceptance thereof for such purpose will subject such City Council to additional expense for improvement, maintenance, or otherwise, the acceptance of any grant, devise or gift is subject to the approval of the City Council. Money for such purpose, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the gift or request, shall be deposited with the Treasurer of the city to be a special account of the recreation center or activity and is considered as a continuing fund to be used for such purpose and is not considered as a part of the cash surplus on hand of the city for the purpose of making appropriation and levying taxes for the city.
