RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council accept a donation from Phillips 66 in the amount of $50,000 to be used as seed money for the development of a body worn camera program.
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 has donated money to the Police Department in support of various programs over the past several years. This years donation would support a body camera program. Past donations supported SRO, K-9, Firearms, and Civil Disobedience programs.
ALTERNATIVES
City Council may:
- Approve the donation from Phillips 66 in the amount of $50,000 or;
- Disapprove the Donation from Phillips 66 in the amount of $50,000 which would cancel the program.
FISCAL EFFECTS
There is no impact to the General Fund. However, full implementation of a body camera program will cost approximately $131,000. Additional funding sources will be sought at a later date.
