Action Requested
Adopt by resolution the acceptance of a $5,000 donation from Great River Energy for the purpose of
purchasing a child identification kit for the Police Department.
Background/Discussion
At the August 5, 2013, City Council meeting, GRE presented a $5,000 check to the Council that is to be
used by the Police Department for the purchase of a child identification kit. Per state law, all donations
must be approved by resolution and two-thirds vote of the Council.
The Police Department is currently using a similar system which is more than 10 years old and antiquated.
The new EZ Child ID kit will greatly enhance the department's goal of identifying children through
fingerprints,audio, and video. This data can be used in the case of a child becomes "missing" and
enhance location efforts.
Financial Impact
City is receiving a $5,000 cash donation towards the purchase of the EZ Child ID kit. This donation will
completely fund this kit.
