Resolution No. 26-042
Approving donation of excess office supplies to St. Louis Park Emergency
Program and Holy Family Academy
Be it resolved by the city council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota as follows:
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park is required by city policy to authorize approval of any
donations; and
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park adopted a revised Environmentally Preferable
Purchasing Policy (EP3) in 2024 that encourages purchasing practices that reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, minimize waste, increase energy efficiency, encourage recycled content and
conserve water when possible and cost-effective; and
Whereas, the Winter Refresh event directed employees to identify excess supplies, reuse
supplies internally where possible to prevent unnecessary new purchases, and donate
remaining supplies to promote reuse; and
Whereas, a total of 184 excess office supply items with a collective value of $3,318.81
were collected; and
Whereas, St. Louis Park Emergency Program and Holy Family Academy are interested in
receiving 167 of the collected office supply items with an estimated collective value of
$1,645.37; and
Whereas, Goodwill stores accept office supplies, and donated items help fund services
and programs that support job training and independence,
Now therefore be it resolved by the city council of the City of St. Louis Park that this
donation has been approved.
