Pleasant Prairie police accept Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation grant for three e-bikes
Summary
The board voted to accept a $14,991 grant from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to provide three Recon Interceptor electric bikes to the Pleasant Prairie Police Department at no local match; Chief Smetana said the bikes will be used for special events, trails and community engagement.
The Village Board accepted a donation of three Recon Interceptor electric bikes from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. Chief David Smetana explained the department applied for the grant and was awarded three bikes valued at $14,991; the grant requires no local match. Chief Smetana described likely uses: special events, bike trails, and community-outreach activities, and noted possible future costs for carriers to transport the bikes on squads.
Trustees moved and seconded acceptance of the donation; the motion carried by voice vote. The chief said he anticipates using the bikes at Lake Andrea events and for bike-rodeo activities to increase community contact.
