Item No. 10 <br />memorandum <br />TO: City Council <br />John Godwin, City Manager <br />FROM: Bob Hundley, Chief of Police <br />SUBJECT: HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT 2946702 <br />DATE: June 16, 2016 <br />BACKGROUND: Each year, Homeland Security funds are made available through the Ark -Tex <br />Council of Governments for funding equipment or other specific items related to response to <br />terrorist acts and terrorism. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: The police department made the preliminary application for funding and <br />was approved. In past years the grants were automatically given with the Mayor's signature <br />verifying the expenditure. This year an additional requirement asks for a resolution from the <br />council verifying the expenditure and acknowledging to repay funds if not used appropriately. <br />This year's grant will fund a piece of surveillance equipment for the SWAT team. <br />BUDGET: There is not a matching fund requirement for these funds. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve a resolution authorizing the receipt of grant funds. <br />
