Council accepts police donations from reserve association and chili cook-off
Summary
Council accepted a $10,000 donation from the Stevensville Reserve Police Officer Association and approved acceptance of proceeds from the department’s chili cook-off for equipment; the record for one cook-off figure in the transcript is inconsistent.
The Stevensville Town Council voted to accept donated funds for the police department on April 9.
Resolution 586 accepted $10,000 from the Stevensville Reserve Police Officer Association (money raised at a prior chili cook-off) to be used for police equipment at the discretion of the police chief. Council approved the resolution unanimously.
The council also approved Resolution 587 to accept proceeds from the department’s fourth annual chili cook-off to be used for police equipment. The clerk read the amount into the record but the spoken figure in the transcript is inconsistent (the resolution text as read contains typographical errors). Council and the chief described the fundraiser as a community effort involving the American Legion, the Stevensville Civic Club, local businesses and volunteers.
Chiefs and council members thanked organizers and volunteers; the resolutions were approved and will allow the police chief to spend the funds on equipment and operational needs as designated in the adopted resolutions.
