RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to accept donations in the amount of $1030.12 to the
Police Equipment Fund and to approve the expenditure of these funds to purchases
shoes/boots that will be donated to students 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 and 2018, 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.”
This year, officers partnered with the Rosemount High School Student Council to raise money for the
program. The group bagged groceries at Cub Foods for two hours and received 1030.12 in donations for
“Kicks for Kids.” The donated funds will be used to purchase a wide variety of shoes/boots that will be
given to kids as school staff identifies students in need.
The Council is being asked to accept a donation from grocery bagging in the amount of 1030.12. 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.
