BACKGROUND
While discussions were occurring about the remodel of the police department, I had
mentioned that we were researching a bronze statue for the front of the building. As you are
well aware, Crystal Police Department has a deep, embedded philosophy of community
policing, we are truly proud of our relationship with our residents, and in particular, strive to
connect with our young people, and we want to give back to our community with this statue.
**At the work session, I will have a short PowerPoint presentation that will show various
images of statues, keep in mind, we can design the statue to what is best for our community
and police department.**
OUR ASK
The cost of this statue is $30,000. We are planning on fundraising for this statue, and have
already received donations that have been placed into a city initiatives fund. We are asking
for your approval of an agreement for us to move forward with purchasing the statue so the
artist can begin our design.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
