Donation Acceptance and Expenditure – Police Equipment Fund - Heroes and Helpers EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Meeting: December 21, 2021 AGENDA ITEM: Donation Acceptance and Expenditure – Police Equipment Fund AGENDA SECTION: Consent PREPARED BY: Mikael Dahlstrom, Chief of Police AGENDA NO. 6.g. ATTACHMENTS: Worksheet APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the receipt and expenditure of $500 in donations for the 2021 “Heroes and Helpers” youth enrichment program. 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 and organizations to host a “Shop with a Cop” event for local children in need of support around the holiday season. This youth enrichment program is not only an excellent way to provide support, but it is also an excellent forum for education, conversation, and engagement between our Department and the youth of our community. Recently, two donations were made to support this program. A $300 donation was made from a Rosemount resident and a $200 donation was made by the Rosemount chapter of Beyond the Yellow Ribbon. This year, 27 kids will participate in the program after we received referrals from local schools, churches, officers, and other community organizations. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council approve the receipt and expenditure of the $500 received for the Shop with a Cop program.
