RESOLUTION ACCEPTING DONATION FROM
COUNCILMEMBER MATT LITTLE
Item No.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve resolution
accepting donation from Councilmember Matt Little.
Adoption of this motion will result in the hiring of a Records Technician in the Police
Department.
Councilmember Matt Little has offered to donate $4,332.00 to the City of Lakeville for
the purpose of paying a portion of the wages and benefits of a Police Department
Records Technician to be hired in July 2011. The remainder of the cost for this position
will come out of the City's 2011 General Fund Budget.
Minnesota Statutes require that all gifts and donations of real or personal property may
only be accepted with the adoption of a resolution by the governing body.

o The position was added to the 2011 budget on March 21, 2011 in
recognition of the donation and additional funding from the General Fund
• How will this position be funded in 2012 and thereafter?
o The records technician position was included in the estimated 2012
General Fund budget and is assumed to be paid from general fund
revenues. The funding for the position will be considered with the adoption
of the 2012 budget.
