FROM: Chris Dellwo, Captain
SUBJECT: Request to Accept Monetary Award by Resolution Number 7108
DATE: July 5, 2011
INTRODUCTION:
City Council is asked to adopt Resolution Number 7108, a Resolution to accept a monetary award
in the amount of $3,000 from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety's Office of Traffic
Safety. The $3,000 will be used to purchase a night vision monocular.
BACKGROUND:
The Shakopee Police Department has formed a strong partnership with the Minnesota Department
of Public Safety and has received grant funds over the past several years to assist on continuous
traffic safety enforcement efforts.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety's Office of Traffic Safety recognized the Shakopee
Police Departments efforts and requested we submit our 2010 enforcement efforts in the area of
DWI, speed, and seatbelt/child restraint violations for recognition. Due to our efforts, the Office
of Traffic Safety has awarded the Shakopee Police Department $3,000 to use toward an
equipment purchase. The redemption period for this purchase is May 10, 2011 through
September 30, 2011.
This matter was put before Council on June 7, 2011 in the form of resolution 7102. There was a
date error in the redemption period. The previous version read May 10, 2011 through June 30,
2011. The State requested a corrected resolution.
VISIONING RELATIONSHIP:

Goal C — Maintain the City's Strong Financial Health.
Strategy 6: Provide high quality services
ACTION REQUESTED:
If City Council concurs, it should, by motion, offer Resolution Number 7108, a Resolution
Authorizing Acceptance of a Traffic Safety Award, and move its adoption.
