Because of the higher cash match requirement, <br />consideration of acceptance of this grant is being returned to the City Council. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept the grant and authorize execution of a Grantee Acceptance Notice. <br /> <br />STAFF CONTACT: Karl Louis, Police Chief; Thomas E. Haynes, Project Director <br /> <br />COST: The grant award is in the amount of $155,689.00, and the City of Paris must provide a match of <br />$52,528.00 in the form of cash and $19,700.00 in the form of in-kind services. <br /> <br />SCHEDULE: Acceptance of this grant must occur must occur within thirty (30) days of the date of award <br />thereof, which occurred on July 7, 2003; however, the City did not receive notice of award until after notice <br />had been posted for the regular City Council meeting for July 14.
