RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council accept the donation from Phillips 66 in the Amount of $22,500 to be used to support the K9 program and upgrades to fiber optics at the Evidence facility.
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 $15,000 to be used to help pay for the purchase, training, and equipment, for one K9 team. Additionally, $7,500 was donated to Evidence for an upgrade to the fiber optics. An overall upgrade would be approximately $7,500 and greatly improve our ability to manage electronic evidence.
ALTERNATIVES
City Council may:
- Approve the donation to the Billings Police Department in the amount of $22,500 or;
- Disapprove the donation to the Billings Police Department in the amount of $22,500 and provide further direction to staff.
FISCAL EFFECTS
There is no impact to the General Fund.
