a proposal for funding to the Bureau of Justice Assistance. The

received from the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants (which have concluded). Technology support
includes the replacement of computer hardware such as: Mobile Data Computers and associated
software for patrol vehicles; replacement of in-house computer towers, servers and external tape drives;
Linksys wireless adapters; and radar unit replacement. Software purchases include yearly license fees
for Microsoft Office Systems and Suspect Image Database. Information about our grant proposal was

parameters. No comments were received from the public.

Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance, in the amount of $23,355. We now need to accept the grant
funding.
FISCAL IMPACT: If the grant funding were to cease, the City would need to determine if the Police
Department's computer technology would continue to be maintained at state-of-the-art levels via City
funds.
