RESOLUTION ACCEPTING DONATION FROM
JAN GRAFF
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve resolution to accept
$1,600.00 donated from Jan Graff of Lakeville to the Lakeville Fire Department.
Overview
John Graff was a retired firefighter and parks employee that passed away unexpectedly this
year. John’s spouse, Jan reached out to the department inquiring about donating to the
Lakeville Fire Department. Working with Jan we identified a use for the funds to help with the
purchase of a wheeled litter carrier to be used at the city parks where an injured party in a
remote area would normally have to be hand carried out to an ambulance for medical care.
Remaining funds will be used to assist in the purchase a monitor for the drone program.
Primary Issues to Consider
