RECOMMENDED AGTION:
BACKGROUND IN FORMATION :
Adopt resolution ratifying the U.S. Department of Justice
Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding Program grant
application, authorize the Chief of Police to execute funding
agreement, approve the purchase of computers, and Appropriate
Funds ($79,318).
The Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding (CESF)
Program provides funding to assist eligible states, local units of
government, and tribes in preventing, preparing for, and responding
to the coronavirus.
Funds awarded under the CESF Program must be utilized to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the
coronavirus. Allowable purchases include equipment for law enforcement and medical personal
protective equipment. The department applied for the grant and was awarded $79,318 for equipment and
personal protective equipment for our sworn staff and dispatcher/jailers.
Staff requests the authorization to expend the first allotment of grant funding to purchase four in-car
computers and eight laptops. The purchase of the computers was included and approved by Department
of Justice in our grant application. The remaining police in-car computers are at the end of life and are
no longer covered by the manufacturer's warranty. The current Panasonic tough book computers were
purchased in 2014 and have been in service since. After five years of use, 24 hours a day seven days a
week, they are failing and need replacement for the safety and convenience of our officers.
The department also has multiple desktop computers that are end of life. We requested laptops through
the grant to replace some of these aging desktop computers. The purpose of this is if Covid concerns
return in the Fall, or another pandemic requires staff to work from home they have the capability to
quickly and easily take their laptops home.
The cost of the twelve computers is $35,403 leaving $43,915 for other safety equipment requested
through the grant.
Further we request that funds not expended in the current fiscal year carry over to the 2020121 tiscal
year. Other purchases approved through the grant will follow purchasing policy to expend funds.
