TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:
Joni Pattillo, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Acceptance of Donation from the Valley Spokesmen Touring Club
Prepared by Lieutenant Nate Schmidt
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Dublin Police Services’ Crime Prevention Unit was given a generous donation from Valley
Spokesmen Touring Club. The donation amount of $1,500 will be used towards the purchase of
a cargo utility trailer to assist in the transportation of bicycles and equipment to the different
bicycle safety program locations. The Dublin City Council will present Valley Spokesmen with a
Certificate of Appreciation for their donation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The $1,500 donation will be used towards the purchase of a cargo utility trailer to assist in the
transportation of bicycles and equipment to the different bicycle safety program locations. Since
this was not part of the original adopted budget, approval of a Budget Change that will recognize
the new revenue and expenditure will be necessary.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the $1,500 donation, approve the Budget
Change and formally recognize the donor.

Dublin Police Chief Assistant City Manager
DESCRIPTION:
On Tuesday, September 3, 2013, Dublin Police Services received a letter with a check in the
amount of $1,500 from the Valley Spokesmen Touring Club. The letter indicated that the Valley
Spokesmen wanted to provide the donation to support the Dublin Police Services “Bicycle
Safety Program”. The funds were made available as a result of a profit The Valley Spokesmen
made from their women’s only “Cinderella Classic/Challenge” bicycle tour in April 2013.

Dublin Police Services’ Crime Prevention Unit coordinates and sponsors several bicycle rodeo
and safety events throughout the year. The events target Dublin youth and focus on bicycle and
roadway safety. The donation would allow Crime Prevention to purchase a cargo utility trailer to
transport bicycles and equipment to these bicycle safety events. The bicycle safety program
continues to grow and with the purchase of a utility trailer the Crime Prevention team will be able
to continue to facilitate this program.
