ANALYSIS
The Control Team membership has approached me with a request for assistance in acquiring
ballistic helmets, gas masks and two firearms. I met with the Security Director for Rosemount
Inc., as well as with the Commander of the Chanhassen American Legion, to discuss this request
for equipment. Both organizations have offered to assist by making donations.
I have asked for these donations because I feel that the City of Chanhassen has a responsibility
to contribute to the Control Team in a way other than providing more than one officer. All of
this money will be put toward the purchase of equipment to be used by the Control Team.
Chanhassen's purchasing of this equipment will not expose us to additional liability. I think this
is one more example of how the City of Chanhassen works with other government agencies to
get the job done as responsibly as possible.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of staff that these donations be accepted and that the Public Safety
Director respond to the contributors with an appropriate letter of thanks.
