City Council Regular
Date: 07/26/2021
Title: Acceptance of Donation from the DUI Task Force in the Amount of $4,000
Presented by: Jamie Wegner
Department: Police
Presentation: No

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that City Council approve the donation from the Yellowstone County DUI Task Force in the amount of $4,000 to fund overtime shifts for special DUI patrols.  

BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)

The Yellowstone County DUI Task Force wishes to donate $4,000 to the Billings Police Department (BPD) to fund overtime for special DUI shifts during peak DUI hours.  Council policy requires that any donation greater than $500 must be approved by the City Council.  City Council is being asked to accept a donation in the amount of $4,000 from the Yellowstone County DUI Task Force.  

 

ALTERNATIVES

City Council may:
  • Approve the $4,000 donation from the Yellowstone County DUI Task Force; or,
  • Not Approve the $4,000 donation which will result in the Billings Police Department not running the special DUI patrols, event patrols, and compliance checks.

FISCAL EFFECTS

There is not impact to the General Fund as no match is required.
