Commentary: This order will authorize the City Manager to accept $900 in funds from Valerie Grant,
from sale of "Duck of Justice" t -shirts to be used for community outreach projects.
Sergeant Tim Cotton created a fictional character as part of a community outreach project aimed at
raising money for youth based projects. The character has become very popular via social media
leading to the creation of t -shirts with a specially designed "Duck of Justice" logo. Valerie Grant (dba
Logo Motion) of Brewer made, packaged and sold the t -shirts from her family owned embroidery
shop. Mrs. Grant is donating a portion of the sale of each t -shirt to the police department community
relations program. All proceeds from the sale of the shirts will be used solely for community outreach
projects such as educational/safety awareness plans, neighborhood watch programs and youth based
initiatives. Mrs. Grant's current donation is $900. Additional donations are likely to come in as the
shirts continue to be popular. Staff recommends approval.
