Resolution accepting donation for
Cops & Coats
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to accept the donation from Dick's
Sanitation to be used for the event Cops & Coats.
Overview
This resolution will acknowledge the donation of 10 boxes for a total value of $70 to the
Lakeville Police Department,
The Lakeville Police Department has launched a Cops & Coats initiative aimed at gathering new
and gently used women's and children's jackets and coats to benefit 360 Communities@ Lewis
House.
The inaugural 2014 Cops & Coats drive will run from December 15 through January 31, with the
donated boxes located at Lakeville Police Department, City Hall, Water Treatment Facility,
Central Maintenance Facility, and Fire Station 94.
Lakeville's Cops & Coats was organized by Deputy Chief John Kornmann following a visit to
the Lewis House. Realizing that many Domestic Abuse calls require victims to leave their
homes without time to pack even a jacket, he saw an opportunity to assist those women and
children in need.
The need is immediate. With December 15 kicking off the drive, distribution of coats and
jackets to Lewis House will begin almost as soon as donations are received.
