CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 4B <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Swenson, Public Safety Director <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: December 10, 2018 <br /> <br />TOPIC: Acceptance of Monetary Donation to Lino Lakes Public <br />Safety Department for Purchase of Remote-Area Enforcement & <br />Rescue UTV <br /> <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br /> <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department is requesting council approval to accept a donation of <br />$10,000 from the Coss Family Foundation through their Grant Administrator, The Saint Paul <br />Foundation for the purchased of a UTV. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Public Safety staff have identified a resource that would enable first responders to easily access <br />remote areas of our community thus improving service delivery in these areas. Staff have <br />responded to emergency calls for service in remote areas of the trail system and parks within our <br />City where we were unable to reach individuals with a vehicle. <br /> <br />Attached is a proposal to utilize a 2019 Polaris Ranger Crew to address this need. This vehicle <br />would have a cab enclosure with seating for up to six responders, rescue stretcher, and the <br />interchangeable track system. <br /> <br />The total cost for this UTV is $33,879.08. The Coss Family Foundation has donated $10,000 for <br />the purchase of the UTV. If the Council wants to move forward with this purchase, this donation <br />will have to be accepted by the Council at the December 12th Council meeting. The remaining <br />$23,879.08 would be funded with forfeiture funds. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of acceptance of the $10,000 donation from the Coss Family <br />Foundation for the purchase of Remote-Area Enforcement & Rescue Vehicle. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />Remote-Area Enforcement & Rescue UTV Proposal <br />
