Public Safety Memo
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Officer Gail Griffith, Crime Board Liaison
Date: October 4, 2010
Subject: PRESENTATION OF A HAND PAINTED PORTRAIT OF BLITZ TO THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT FROM • GROVE CRIME
PREVENTION c•+ •
For many years the Cottage Grove Crime Prevention Board has given small holiday
gifts to all of the staff members of the police department to thank them for the work they
do throughout the year.
In 2009 the board decided to forego the individual gifts in favor of a single gift to the
whole department. Since the Crime Board was instrumental in helping the department
obtain a K9 they decided to have a portrait of our K9 `Blitz" painted to hang on the walls
of the police department for everyone to enjoy.
The portrait was painted by Gail Pommerening who has an art studio in Wisconsin and
who grew up in St. Paul Park. The Crime Board would like to present the painting to the
police department at a council meeting. The Crime Board President, Jim Taylor would
like to say a few words and make the presentation.
I respectfully request that the Crime Board be put on the October 20, 2010 Council
agenda so they can present this painting to the police department.
