The gist
Lakeway Mayor Thomas Kilgore said the Lakeway Police Department would like to be a beneficiary for a golf tournament event that would generate funds for the department.
The Lakeway Police Foundation would be the recipient of the funds, which would then be passed along to the police department as needed.
Kilgore said the funds raised from the event would be used for the following specific purposes:
- Public safety improvements
- Officer health, wellness and meal programs
- Expanding funding for victims services assistance
Kilgore said the golf tournament is expected to generate more than $25,000, for which all net proceeds would be given to the Lakeway Police Foundation to benefit LPD.
Lakeway Police Chief Glen Koen said the projected date for the event would be Monday, June 24.
What else?
The event will be a collaborative effort between the Lakeway Police Foundation, LPD and the city.
The city will be participating in advertising the event as well as providing city staff—in an amount to be determined by Lakeway City Manager Joseph Molis closer to the event—to help assist on the day of the event.
