4 ROSEMOUNT
CITY COUNCIL
City Council Meeting: November 1, 2005
A grant in the amount of $2000 has been received from the Wal -Mart Foundation. The grant was actually
awarded to the Police Department through the Eagan Wal -Mart This grant proposal was submitted as a
request for funds to assist in the replacement costs of body armor for pohce officers In recent years,
body armor manufacturers had begun using a new product, Zylon, which made vests fighter, thinner, more
flexible and more comfortable. Many agencies across the nation, including Rosemount, had purchased
these vests. Unfortunately, testing by the National Insntute of Justice found that the product broke down
prior to its five -year warranty period and failed to stop the caliber of bullets that it was intended to provide
protection from. In addition, pohce officer deaths have occurred due to the failure of the body armor.
This has resulted m the need to replace body armor sooner than anucipated. Replacement body armor has
been ordered for all officers with the defective material in their body armor. It is expected that the new
vests will be arriving within the next month.
The grant was submitted by Officer Jeremiah Simonson. Prior to him becoming an officer in Rosemount,
Jeremiah worked at the Eagan Wal -Mart or 6+ years and his association with the store was undoubtedly a
factor in the awarding of this grant to Rosemount.
Council is asked to accept the grant for the purpose of using the funds for purchasing body armor for
officers as specified in the grant apphcauon. Council is also asked to approve the expenditure of the grant
funds to pay for the body armor when it is delivered.
