CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM # 4A <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Swenson, Public Safety Director <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: January 9, 2023 <br /> <br />TOPIC: Acceptance of Monetary Donation to Lino Lakes Public <br />Safety Department <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 />$20,000 from the Coss Family Foundation through their Grant Administrator, The Saint Paul <br />Foundation. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Staff received notification from The Saint Paul Foundation that a donor wished to make a <br />donation of $20,000 to the Lino Lakes Public Safety Public Safety Department to support the <br />expansion of the Wellness Enhancements for Fire Division personnel. <br /> <br />Staff provided Council information on the Public Safety Department Wellness Enhancements at <br />the August 1, 2022 Work Session. As noted then, the only funding available for the Provicta <br />engagement was the law enforcement forfeiture funds; therefore, only police personnel were <br />allowed to participate in the wellness enhancements offered through Provicta. With this donation <br />we will begin to establish the needed funding to include all Fire Division personnel in the future <br />once we have received enough funding to move forward. <br /> <br />Upon Council acceptance of the donation, staff will deposit these funds into a City escrow <br />account. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of acceptance of the $20,000 donation from the Coss Family <br />Foundation for the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department Fire Division Wellness Enhancements. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />None
