Town of Los Gatos Council
The Honorable Mayor Rennie, Vice Mayor Ristow, and Council Members Badame, Hudes, and Sayoc
110 E. Main St.
Los Gatos, CA 95030
May 11, 2022
Dear Mayor Rennie, Vice Mayor Ristow, and Council Members Badame, Hudes, and Sayoc,
I am writing today to thank the Council for continuing rent forgiveness for NUMU in FY23.
Thank you for including another year of rent forgiveness for FY 2022/23 as shown in the In Kind Donations FY 2022
Summary in the Proposed Town FY 2022/23 Operating Budget: “....rent forgiveness is recommended for NUMU in FY
2022/23 with backfilling this revenue loss with the ARPA funds.” This is in line with the Council’s priority to use part of
American Recovery Act (ARPA) funds to provide rent forgiveness to non-profit organizations.
The Town’s rent forgiveness has been a true lifeline for all of our efforts to support the Town’s Strategic Priorities, and is a
testament for what we can achieve together. Please approve rent forgiveness in FY 2022/23 for 106 E. Main Street to
support NUMU’s ongoing responsibility to maintain and steward the Town of Los Gatos’ history collection and provide
arts, history, and cultural educational services to the Los Gatos community and support NUMU’s critical role in
maintaining–and expanding–the Town’s cultural footprint.
NUMU’s relationship with the Town of Los Gatos is vital to us and our ongoing ability to serve our community. We look
forward to further conversations about our partnership. Thank you from all of us for your continued support.
In partnership,
Ami Davis | Executive Director
