Item No. 12 <br />memorandum <br />TO: City Council <br />John Godwin, City Manager <br />FROM: Bob Hundley, Chief of Police <br />SUBJECT: 2015 JAG GRANT AMENDED INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT <br />DATE: November 5, 2015 <br />BACKGROUND: This item was brought before council in May of this year. Council approved <br />the application and Interlocal agreement for the 2015 JAG grant which is shared with the Lamar <br />County Sheriff's Office. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: This grant was approved and awarded to the city of Paris on September <br />1st. The grant funds are going to be used by the police department to procure a `drone'. A drone <br />is on the DOJ list of controlled expenditures. We submitted our justification letter required for a <br />controlled equipment expenditure in the grant application which was approved and awarded. We <br />received an e -mail from the justice department requesting that the Interlocal agreement have a <br />statement included that the funds are being used for a drone, a controlled expenditure. We have <br />added that verbiage to the ILA. <br />BUDGET: There is no impact to the budget. All monies received through the grant will be spent <br />for equipment budgeted in the grant. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve the amended Interlocal agreement. <br />
