[Mpls] Donating to the City

[Sheldon Mains]

You could make the check out to the Friends of the Minneapolis Public
Library.  The building portion of the capital campaign is complete but there
is still a chance to contribute to improving the collection.  Pledge form is
at:

 In all seriousness, I was thinking about doing this  today.  But, to 
whom do I write the check?  The Minneapolis  Finance Department?  If I wrote

and sent an unsolicited check to  the City would it deposit it?  Would the
City  Council need to take  an official action to accept my gift?  Would I
be able to  earmark  my gift to a department/program of my choice?  
  
  I just searched the City's website without luck.  I entered a  number of 
different phrases into the search engine about paying exta  taxes and making

contributions to the City without finding instructions  on how to do so.  I 
even checked the Minneapolis One Stop page  without success.  
  
  Any help would be welcome.
