Funding Considerations

The LPF acknowledges that the City of Lakeway bears primary responsibility to fund the LPD, and in particular to fund salaries, benefits and equipment essential to the performance of Departmental job functions. The LPF seeks to provide financial support to recruit, retain and strengthen the members of the LPD where appropriate.

Payment Procedures and Policies

Supporting documentation must accompany all requests. In most cases, the LPF will require receipts for out-of-pocket expenses, copies of paid or unpaid medical bills, copies of Explanations of Benefits (EOB) documents or other documentation the LPF may require from time to time. It is important to remember that no member of the LPD or the LPD itself has the authority to enter into any agreements or contracts with third parties committing the LPF’s funds without the prior, specific written authorization from the LPF. The LPF policy is to generally pay vendors, service providers or physical good retailers directly. This policy is at the sole discretion of the board.

Public Information Policies

The LPF complies with all federal and state tax filing requirements and is registered as a charity with the State of Texas. Officers who receive financial aid directly must provide the LPF with a signed IRS W-9 tax form located here https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf prior to receiving any financial support. The LPF does not disclose the names or personal information of any LPD staff member that we provide financial support to. The LPF complies with the City Of Lakeway’s annual reporting requirements for the LPF.

DISCLAIMER AGREEMENT

I understand and agree that the consideration or approval of my request for assistance remains within the sole and absolute discretion of the LPF Board Of Directors, and the submission of an application does not create an obligation on the part of the LPF or a promise of financial or other assistance.
