RECOMMENDATION
1. Retroactively approve the purchase of Airpods for the National Night Out’s raffle giveaway.
2. Place the item on the August 16th, 2022 City Council Agenda for action.
BACKGROUND
On July 26th 2022 our office purchased Airpods at the price of $99.99 to raffle to the community in District 5.
Currently, this expenditure is not covered under any of the permitted uses outlined in City Council Expenditure and Reimbursement Policy 0-38.
The Airpods were purchased to raffle at the National Night Out Event at Emma Prusch Park, located in District 5. The prizes were won by families in the community. The families were extremely happy to have these as they allowed connectivity to help the fill the digital divide so intimately experienced by our East Side Community.
