Emergency Item for Agenda
9/10/09 Commission Meeting
The U. S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs has approved our application
for funding under the FY 09 Recovery Act Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance
Grant (JAG) in the amount of $2,562,410, to hire additional police civilian support
personnel and purchase laptop computers. Although, this grant was awarded to us on
August 11, 2009, the program period was from March 1, 2009 through February 28, 2013,
of which our first report submission will be due in the first week of October. According to
the grant award stipulation that, "The reports are due no later than ten calendar days after
each calendar quarter in which the recipient receives the assistance award funded in whole
or in part by the Recovery Act," we would like to have all documentation signed and ready
to meet the reporting deadline. Failure to comply, we will be in violation of the terms of
this award and may result in the loss of the grant funding.
Due to the strict procedures and time constraint outlined in the acceptance of this grant, I
am requesting that this item be placed on the September 10, 2009, City Commission
agenda.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at your
convenience.
