Donation Acceptance – Police Equipment Fund EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Meeting: August 6, 2018 AGENDA ITEM: Donation Acceptance – Police Equipment Fund AGENDA SECTION: Consent PREPARED BY: Mitchell Scott, Chief of Police AGENDA NO. 6.c. ATTACHMENTS: Worksheet APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to accept the Public Safety in the Park donation in the amount of $188 to the Police Equipment Fund and to approve the expenditure of these funds to purchases shoes/boots that will be donated to kids in need at Rosemount Schools. BACKGROUND The Police Equipment Fund has been set up for the purpose of receiving donations that are designated for the Police Department. Expenditures from this account are only made after approval is received from the City Council. In 2017, the police department partnered with a Rosemont Area Hockey Association team to help them complete a service project in the community. Specifically, the Community Resource Officer met with the team to discuss needs in the Rosemount community and help them establish the goal of their service project. After learning of kids in Rosemount schools who were often in need of more adequate footwear throughout the year, the group decided to raise money to buy shoes and start the community initiative called “Kicks for Kids.” Last year, the group raised money bagging groceries at Cub Foods and the donated funds were used to purchase a wide variety of shoes/boots that were given to kids as staff identified someone in need. The Council is being asked to accept a donation from Public Safety in the Park in the amount of $188. The donation was made to help pay for shoes and boots for kids as they are identified by staff within Rosemount area schools. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the acceptance of the donation and authorization of the expenditure.
