RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the receipt and expenditure of $1546.26 in
donations from the “Shop with a Cop” grocery-bagging fundraiser at Cub foods on
November 25, 2019 and a $200 donation from Beyond the Yellow Ribbon of Rosemount
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.
Since 2015, the police department has partnered with local businesses to host a “Shop with a Cop” event
for local children in need of support around the holiday season. This year, the Rosemount High School
Student Council helped several members of the police department bag groceries on November 25th; the
voluntary cash and check donations totaled $1,546.26!
In addition, Beyond the Yellow Ribbon of Rosemount generously donated $200 to the cause.
This year, we have approximately 30 kids joining us! The program takes referrals from local schools,
churches, officers, and other community organizations to identify the children who are facing financial
difficulties, family tragedies, and other situations where they could use some support.
The Council is being asked to accept the donations and authorize expenditure of $1,546.26 from the Cub
Foods grocery-bagging fundraiser and $200 from Beyond the Yellow Ribbon of Rosemount.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the acceptance of the donations and authorization of the expenditures.
