PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Firefighters Local 521 is donating $1,000.00 worth of Fire Prevention Frisbees to the Fire Department. The Frisbees contain this year's Fire Prevention Week theme: "Not Every Hero Wears A Cape - Plan and Practice your Escape." These items will be used as give-a-ways during upcoming fire safety school presentations and Fire Prevention Week activities, such as open houses.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may approve or disapprove accepting the donation of Frisbees, valued at $1,000 from Firefighters Local 521.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City has limited funds to spend on give-away items that can be used to present public safety messages to children and adults alike. This donation of Frisbees, imprinted with the 2019 Fire Prevention Week theme will be used as a tool in upcoming fire safety school presentation and during open houses during Fire Prevention Week. There is no money involved, Local 521 will purchase the Frisbees on their own.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends accepting the donation of frisbees, retail value $1,000 and printed with Fire Prevention Week theme message 'Not Every Hero Wears A Cape - Plan and Practice your Escape".
