Approve a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Blaine/Blaine PD for the 3M PGA Event

The City of Blaine, MN, will host the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) 3M golf event from July 22nd to 28th, 2024. The size of the event and expected attendance required the City of Blaine and its police department to request the assistance of Anoka County law enforcement agencies. The assistance of the additional law enforcement agencies will increase public safety and security for the event. The City of Ramsey Police Department has assisted with this event in the past. Ten officers from the Ramsey PD have expressed interest in assisting with the 2024 event. At this time, it wasn't known how many officers would be needed from outside agencies to assist each day.

The Joint Powers Agreement has been sent to the City Attorney for review.

The hours Officers work at this event will be reimbursed per section 4 of the Joint Powers Agreement.
