REVIEWED BY: City Manager -J:1 ~~\ (4/Sth's Vote: Yes..x.. No~
The Police Department recently received an unsolicited $3,000 donation from the North Island
Federal Credit Union. The donation is designated to fund the purchase of advanced
communications equipment for the Special Weapons and Tactics Team.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: That Council Approve the Resolution.
On June 22, 1994, staff from the North Island Federal Credit Union presented Lt. Ken Dyke,
SWAT Commander, a check for $3,000. This donation was presented to Lt. Dyke to underwrite
the cost of acquiring hands-free communication devices for SWAT Team members.
North Island Federal Credit Union (NIFCU) staff were present at the Police Department's Open
House on Saturday, May 14, 1994, and witnessed a SWAT demonstration. After the
demonstration, as is customary, several of the attendees approached SWAT Team personnel to
ask questions.
Apparently, there was discussion relative to the existing communications systems employed by
SWAT Team members. The existing SWAT communications devices, which are outfitted on
the Team member's shoulder, must be physically activated by pressing a button. The process
of activating the existing communications devices can draw the Team member's attention for a
brief moment. It is our impression that, based on this question and answer session, a NIFCU
Vice-President took the initiative to fund the donation presented for your approval tonight.
The donation will be used to fully fund the purchase of hands-free communication devices for
SWAT Team members.
FISCAL IMPACT: The $3,000 donation will be appropriated into Fund 408, Department
4081, the Development Deposit Trust Fund's Other Departments Deposit
Projects account, and spent for the identified purpose.
