BACKGROUND
On April 4, 2025 our office purchased 2 children's bicycles at the price of $72.00 and 98.00 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 bikes were purchased to raffle at the "One Comm-UNITY" event at Mt. Pleasant Highschool, located in District 5. The prizes were won by families from the community. The families were incredibly grateful, as the bikes provide safe recreation for youth and families, supporting mobility, health, and connection in a part of the East Side where such resources are deeply needed. 6/11/25
