MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Don Ashworth, City Manager
FROM: Scott Harr, Public Safety Director
DATE: April 8, 1994
SUBJ: Donation Acceptance
I am very pleased to report that the Disabled American Veterans organization has offered to
donate $1,500. to the City of Chanhassen to be used for Crime Prevention material (including
safety coloring books for children, and other material that is utilized during crime prevention
presentations and neighborhood watch programs), and for half of the cost of establishing a
new bicycle patrol program with the Carver County Sheriff's Department (we will both pay
half of the cost). The bicycle patrol program will permit officers (Sheriff's Department and
Public Safety personnel working together) to access areas not usually patrolled by squad cars
(parks, etc.).
As we continue to develop our crime prevention program and make more of these related
services available to our community, it benefits us greatly to have such generosity from the
Disabled American Veterans organization.
RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of the Public Safety Director that this
donation be accepted by the City Council and that the Public Safety Director be directed to
write a thank you letter to them.
