Item No. 95-223
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute aGrant Agree-
ment Between the State of Maine Bureau Of Highway Safety --
Purchase of Bicycle Helmets
Responsible Department: Police Department
Commentary:
The City of Bangor, in cooperation with other communities and the Bangor
Noontime Riwanis Club, sponsors an annual bicycle safety fair at which
abandoned bicycles are sold and bicycle safety training is provided. In the
past, the Bangor Noontime Hiwanis Club has purchased bicycle helmets to be
distributed. This year we were contacted by the Bureau of Highway Safety
regarding the possibility of a grant in the amount of $2,000 which could be
used for the purpose of purchasing bicycle helmets. In order to make use of
this grants we approached the Bangor Noontime Hiwanis Club and requested that
they donate to the City $2,700 which could be used as a cash match for the
Grant and increase the number of helmets which could be purchased. In
addition, an additional $3,179 in in-kind requirements are being met jointly
by the Police Dept. And the Eiwanis Club through donation of time and
materials.
The acceptance of this Grant allows for additional helmets to be purchased
and distributed and we recommend that the attached Order be adopted.
