PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
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 the $4,000 donation from the Yellowstone County DUI Task Force.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The City Council may:
- Accept the $4,000 donation from the Yellowstone County DUI Task Force; or
- Not accept the $4,000 donation which will result in the Billings Police Department not running the special DUI patrols, event patrols, and compliance checks.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the $4,000 donation from the Yellowstone County DUI Task Force.
