RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council accept the donation from Phillps 66 in the Amount of $9,000 to purchase two storage magazines.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
Council policy requires that any donation greater than $500 must be approved by the City Council. Phillips 66 wishes to donate $9,000 to the Billings Police Department for the purchase of two storage magazines. In order to be in compliance with Code of Federal Regulations and ATF Rulings, storage and transportation of explosive and non-explosive materials must be stored in type specific storage magazines. Currently, the BPD SWAT team does not have storage magazines. This donation would enable the BPD to purchase two storage cabinets.
ALTERNATIVES
City Council may:
- Approve the donation to the Billings Police Department in the amount of $9,000 or;
- Disapprove the donation to the Billings Police Department in the amount of $9,000 and provide further direction to staff.
FISCAL EFFECTS
There is no impact to the General Fund.
