AGENDAITEM Item No.: 8 Date: June 26, 2017 Item Description: Approval to Accept Donation From the Crime Prevention Fund Presenter: Correy Famiok Agenda Section: Consent Agenda Police Chief 1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to accept a donation from the Crime Prevention Fund. 2. Background. The Police Department has received multiple requests for extra patrol on area streets relating to traffic volume and speed. The police department utilizes two radar/speed trailers that are placed along the side of the road to make drivers aware of their speed, as well as collecting data related to volume of traffic, speeds of vehicles and traffic counts by the hour. A shoulder or a level area along the roadway is required for placement for both of these trailers. We need additional signs to keep up with the requests and smaller more portable signs would assist us in placement on majority of roads and streets in our cornmunities. The Crime Prevention Fund has approved $3000.00 toward the purchase of a portable radar sign. The Crime Prevention Fund was established in 1987 to promote crime prevention and support local police departments. The Crime Prevention Fund covers the communities within the Orono and Minnetrista Police Department service areas. 3. Project Scope. Purchasing of two portable battery powered radar signs. 4. Cost. The Police Department has received a quote to purchase two signs at a total cost of $6230.00 from Radarsign. 5. Funding. The Crime Prevention Fund has approved $3000 toward the purchase of the two portable radar signs. 6. Staff Recommendation. I recommend that the donation of $3,000 be accepted.
