The Wayzata City Council has accepted generous donations from the Wayzata Lions Club and Wayzata Legion Post 118, providing critical financial support for the city’s fire department.
At a recent council meeting, officials unanimously approved a resolution to accept a $10,000 donation from the Lions Club and a $20,000 donation from the Legion. The funds, generated through charitable pull-tab sales, will be directed toward purchasing essential fire department equipment.
City officials emphasized the importance of these contributions in easing the burden on taxpayers. Under the city’s 2024-2026 strategic plan, diversifying revenue is a key priority, and donations like these help reduce reliance on property tax-funded resources allocated to the Capital Equipment Fund.
The Wayzata Lions Club and Wayzata Legion have a history of supporting the community and fire department, periodically making donations to ensure first responders have the tools they need to protect the community.
The approved resolution, listed as Res 02-2025, formally recognizes the contributions and ensures the funds will be used to enhance Wayzata Fire Department operations.
