R&4k.9BVffihE <br /> Request for Council Action <br /> Date: November 13,2001 <br /> Item Number: G-1 <br /> Department Approval Manager Approval Agenda Section <br /> Recognitions <br /> Item Description: <br /> Consider City Donation of$250 each to Police and Firefighter Relief Funds Addressing September 11tH <br /> Needs. <br /> Background: On their own time, and in part with their own funds, our Police and Firefighters have raised a <br /> substantial amount of money to help support the families of fellow police and firefighters lost in the September <br /> 11 tragedy. <br /> The Issue: Whether the City wishes to donate a total of $500 to supplement the private funds our Police and <br /> Firefighters will be sending to relief funds in New York. <br /> Recommendation: In discussing the September 11 tragedy, Council Members have separately suggested to me <br /> that it would be appropriate for the City to demonstrate our support and appreciation for the heroic work done <br /> by firefighters and police officers. This donation would be a tangible symbol of that appreciation and support. <br /> 0'r <br />
