Fair Oaks Ranch council accepts $2,000 donation for police lobby improvements

Fair Oaks Ranch City Council on Dec. 4 approved acceptance of a $2,000 private donation to the Fair Oaks Ranch Police Department intended to complete lobby improvements and portraits.

Chief Todd Smith introduced the donation from "Mr. and Mrs. John Lowlati," saying it is the fourth consecutive year the family has supported the department. "Your generosity says a lot about how deeply you care for our officers in our community," Smith said. He told council the prior year's funds were used to update portraits and interior paint and that this contribution will extend those upgrades into the entrance lobby.

Council moved and unanimously approved the measure by voice vote. The resolution authorizes the city to accept and use the funds for the stated departmental improvements; no additional conditions or budget adjustments were discussed at the meeting.

The council thanked the Lowlatis for their continued support and asked staff to pass along the council’s appreciation to the donors. No dissent or amendment to the acceptance motion was recorded.
