Re: Resolution to Accept Donations from the Fire Relief Association and the Lions Club
Background:
State law requires Cities to approve a resolution by a two-thirds majority in order to accept a
donation. The Scandia Fire Relief Association has made a cash donation of $6,618.83 and the
Scandia Marine Lions Club has made a cash donation of $6,000 to be used towards the purchase
of an automated chest compression device for the Fire Department.
Issue:
Should the City accept the donations earmarked for the purchase of an automated chest
compression device?
Proposal Details:
A resolution to accept the donation is included in your packet. Funds are being donated to the
City for this purchase to allow the City to make a tax-exempt purchase. The balance for the cost
of the equipment will be funded from the Fire Department's budget at a cost of $4,000.
Fiscal Impact:
$12,616.83 donation
Options:
1) Approve Resolution 09-15-15-04
2) Do not approve Resolution 09-15-15-04
Recommendation:
Option 1.
