STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
The proposal underscores the importance of integrating advanced equipment and software to significantly enhance the City Council's strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous, especially in the realm of public safety. By utilizing Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant funds, this initiative will empower the police department to adopt cutting-edge technologies that improve crime prevention, response times, and data analysis.
REPORT:
The U.S. Department of Justice requires supporting documentation be submitted when being considered for the Edward Byrne Memorial Assistance Grant. This funding supports law enforcement programs aimed at enhancing public safety and community policing efforts by incorporating technology. Notably, there are no matching funds required from the City for this grant. The City is seeking an award of $50,668.00.
A Memorandum of Understanding between the City and County is required by JAG before awarding funds, being that the City and County are identified by the JAG Program as a “disparate grouping,” where one or more municipalities within a county are eligible for a direct award. JAG legislation requires a county to remain partners with the local jurisdiction receiving funding.
By adopting this motion, the Council authorize the City Administrator to complete the necessary documentation to secure the grant funding from the Department of Justice. The U.S. Department of Justice requires submitting supporting documentation when being considered for the Edward Byrne Memorial Assistance Grant. This funding supports law enforcement programs aimed at enhancing public safety and community policing efforts by incorporating technology. Notably, there are no matching funds required from the City for this grant.
