He has been released from the hospital and will be <br /> at tonight's meeting to answer questions regarding this proposal. <br /> I brieflyoutlined the <br /> proposal in last Thursday's issue of This Is It. <br /> Officer Baumgart has been working with community members for the past <br /> month, exploring the possibility and finding enthusiastic support in the <br /> community for the proposal. He had hoped to come before the Council at <br /> the April Work Session to outline the plan to the Council and receive I <br /> preliminary authorization to proceed. Unfortunately, Saturn needs to <br /> clear the vehicle off their books and must either turn it over to the 1 <br /> City or sell it outright. <br /> Saturn is willing to turn the vehicle over to the City for $5, 000 down <br /> and allow Officer Baumgart until November to secure the remainder of the <br /> community/individual donations. <br /> As Officer Baumgart's memo outlines, he is $4, 000 short of the needed <br /> $5, 000 to secure the vehicle. Although he has $1, 000 in cash commitments <br /> and an additional $2 , 350 in contribution commitments, which the money <br /> will not be in his hands until mid-April. <br /> `ate vol, 4,1 <br /> Sama tha Ordun• , City Administ .tor <br /> RECOMMENDATION; Waive the Reading and Approve/Disapprove Resolution No. 4736 Approving <br /> A Contingency Fund Transfer to the Police Crime Prevention Account (100-4202-303) <br />
