Parker, City Manager SUBJECT: Donation of Used Body Armor PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider donating used police body armor to Club Rotario De Leon, GTO. Mexico BACKGROUND The Police Department has been contacted by Sal Camacho, the Low International Coordinator of the Barrington Rotary Club. This club has been focusing on obtaining used equipment for use in impoverished areas of Mexico. The purpose of the request is to authorize the Police Department to donate the surplus body armor to the Barrington Rotary so they can send the armor to the Club Rotario De Leon, Mexico, who will then turn them over to the Leon Police Department . Mr. Camacho advises that at this time the city, which currently has a population of over 1 . 3 million people, cannot afford to equip their law enforcement officers with armor. The department only has three or four security vests for their entire force. The Elgin Police Department currently has over 100 used vests that are boxed up in storage. The vests have no residual value in the United States because their manufacturer warranties have expired after five years of daily wear. These vests cannot be sold at auction due to the possibility they will fall into the hands of criminals . Mr. Camacho states that he guarantees that between the Barrington Rotary club and himself that the used armor will be given to the City of Leon, GTO. This is a good solution for the City and will benefit an impoverished area. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED Barrington Rotary.

Elgin, IL 60120 Dear Mike, In the past 15 months I have been asked to try to get some safety equipment such as bullet proof vests, or other equipment. The most recent petition comes from the Rotary Club of Leon, Gto. Mexico, by President Elect Ing. Humberto M. Luce Najar of Leon. Leon is a city with a population of 1.3 million people. At the present time to my knowledge they have only 3 or 4 of these security vests. I am requesting your help and cooperation in this matter, hoping that you could see it possible to donate some of your used safety equipment with a guaranty of the Barrington Rotary Club and myself that this safety equipment will be given to the mentioned city. Hope to hear from you soon with a positive decision.
