RESOLUTION NO. 06 - 206
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING DONATION FROM TARGET FOR SUPPLIES
ASSOCIATED WITH YOUTH IN NEED GRANT
WHEREAS, Target is aware that the Lino Lakes Police Department operates under the
Community Oriented Policing Philosophy. As part of this philosophy, the
department continually looks for ways to connect with the community and
strengthen the partnership between the police and community. The Lino
Lakes Police Department would like to reach youth in need in our
community, specifically youth who are either victims of family violence or
witness violence in their homes, and runaway youth; and
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
Target supports the efforts of strengthening our community and donated
digital video equipment that will be beneficial in identifying youth caught in
the cycle of family violence and help them get the services they need.
The digital recorders will be used for interviewing victims involved in family
violence situations. These digital recordings would assist the police
department in seeking the appropriate help for needy youth and their
families. This same concept will be used as a means of obtaining a better
understanding of why youth run and what we can do as a community to
reduce the likelihood of a reoccurring event. The ultimate goal will be the
prevention of family violence in our community; and
Target has also donated $1,900 to the city in their support of this outreach
program in this community; and
the monies will be appropriated to the General Fund in the following
manner:
Increase Revenue — Contributions 101 - 3720 -000 $1,900.00
Increase Police Expenditure
(101- 420 - 4214 -000 Crime Prevention)
$1,900.00
