Council okays $2,000 police donation to Treasure Island department
Summary
At the request of the Police Chief, council authorized a $2,000 donation from the Lantana Police Department to a Treasure Island police relief fund; council voted 5-0 to approve the donation before staff filled other funds as needed.
The Lantana Town Council voted unanimously to permit the Police Department to donate $2,000 to a Treasure Island police department relief fund set up after recent hurricanes. The chief explained that officers across the region had suffered damage and that Lantana has periodic donations earmarked for explorer and cadet programs; the $2,000 donation would be drawn from available, non-earmarked funds in line with town purchasing policy.
The motion was moved by a council member and seconded; the mayor called the vote and the motion passed 5-0. The chief asked staff to share the donation information with council and to coordinate logistics so funds reach the Treasure Island fund by early December.
Provenance: donation discussed and moved during staff reports and center-stage by the Chief.
