SUBJECT:
Acceptance of Donation from the Valley Spokesmen Touring Club
Prepared by Tom McCarthy, Chief of Police
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Dublin Police Services’ Crime Prevention Unit was given a generous donation from Valley
Spokesmen Touring Club. The donation of $1,500 will be used to expand the Dublin Police
Services’ bicycle safety program. 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 for the Operating Supplies associated with the Bicycle Safety
Program, including the bicycle rodeos. 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.

DESCRIPTION:
On September 5, 2012, 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 2012.
ITEM NO. 3.2

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 obstacle course
materials and bicycle tools and supplies. With these additional funds, the Crime Prevention Unit
would be able to expand the bicycle safety program for the children in the community.
The adopted Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Budget did not include this revenue or the additional
expense. A Budget Change (Attachment 1) has been prepared which will adjust the Fiscal Year
2012-2013 appropriations.
