Date: <br />To : <br />FroB: <br />Sxibjact : <br />/6 <br />'A ',:s> <br />Donation from the State Bank of Long Lake <br />College Tuition ReimburBement Fund <br />January 5, 1994 <br />Ron Moorse, City Adainiatratoi <br />for Hayor and City Council <br />Steve Sullivan, Chief of Police <br />Mr. Mike Byrne, President of the Long Lake State Bank, has <br />offered to donate $1500 to the Orono Police Departoent for the <br />purpose of reimbursing the tuition for college courses taken by <br />officers on their o%fn time. The bank's Board of Directors has <br />already approved this donation and Mr. Byrne has written the <br />check. I explained that I needed council approval before I could <br />accept that donation. <br />Mr. Byrne and the bank's Board of Directors are excited <br />about the opportunity to facilitate additional education for our <br />officers. We all believe that the better educated the police <br />officers are, the better equipped they are to address the complex <br />problems they encounter as they serve the community. <br />The offer is simple. The bank is willing to donate the money <br />directly to the Orono Police. Any officer who wants to <br />participate will obtain approval for a particular course, prior <br />to enrolling, from the Chief of Police. Once the officer has <br />Buccessfully completed the course, the officer will present proof <br />of completion and proof of the eunount of tuition paid. The <br />officer will then receive reimbursement for that tuition. <br />I am requesting permission to accept this roost generous <br />donation from the bank and to establish a tuition reimbursement <br />program as outlined in this memo.
