Helwig, City Manager SUBJECT: Experimental Police Mounted Patrol PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to authorize agreements to allow an experimental deployment of two mounted patrols for use at special events by the Elgin Police Department. BACKGROUND In 1994, the Kane County Mounted Patrol participated at the launching of the Grand Victoria. The ability of these mount- ed officers to assist with large crowds and their appeal to the citizens, and especially the children, in these types of situations was apparent. The City has two current employees that are members of the Kane County Mounted Patrol and have offered to provide similar services to the City of Elgin. Sergeant John Panzloff of the Police Department and Joan Panzloff of Code Administration are both experienced mounted officers in the Kane County unit. It is proposed to initiate an experimental mounted patrol unit in Elgin by entering into an agreement to allow these employees and their horses to be used by the Elgin Police Department. This program would be experimental at this time, pending a review of the benefits to the citizens of Elgin. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED The New Century Partnership for Elgin supports this concept as an image enhancement, especially for special events .

Joan Panzloff would be employed as a police reserve officer filling an open position. The City would pay the Panzloff 's $1,420 and the Panzloff ' s will supply an insurance policy which shall protect the City and the Panzloff 's . This shall be paid under account #010-2301-731 . 30 .99 . Sufficient funds exist and are budgeted in the above accounts to fund this project. LEGAL IMPACT This contract is permissible pursuant to an exception to the Conflict of Interest prohibitions of the Procurement Ordi- nance in the Elgin Municipal Code, Section 5.24 . 030, which permits City employees to contract with the City to provide service and materials when the amount of the contract does not exceed $2,000 . RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve this experi- mental program for the balance of 1995, pending review and consideration for the 1996 budget process .
