03 Auto Theft GrantAGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
PROJECT: Accepting the Automobile Theft Prevention Grant from the Texas Automobile Theft Prevention
Authority and authorizing the execution of a Grantee Acceptance Notice.
BACKGROUND: The City Council has previously made an application to the Texas Automobile Theft
Prevention Authority for an Automobile Theft Prevention Grant in the amount of $155,689.00, with
$89,973.GG to be provided by the grant and $46,016.00 to be provided by the City of Paris in the form of cash
and $19,700.00 in the form of in-kind services.
DESCRIPTION: The Texas Automobile Theft Prevention Authority has issued its Grant Award entitled
"Northeast Texas Automobile Theft Task Force," for the period beginning September 1, 2003, and ending
August 31, 2004. However, the amount to be provided by the grant is $83,461.GG, which is less than what
was requested, and the amount to be provided by the City of Paris in the form of cash is $52,528.00, which
is higher than was previously approved by City Council. Because of the higher cash match requirement,
consideration of acceptance of this grant is being returned to the City Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept the grant and authorize execution of a Grantee Acceptance Notice.
STAFF CONTACT: Karl Louis, Police Chief; Thomas E. Haynes, Project Director
COST: The grant award is in the amount of $155,689.00, and the City of Paris must provide a match of
$52,528.00 in the form of cash and $19,700.00 in the form of in-kind services.
SCHEDULE: Acceptance of this grant must occur must occur within thirty (30) days of the date of award
thereof, which occurred on July 7, 2003; however, the City did not receive notice of award until after notice
had been posted for the regular City Council meeting for July 14. Open meetings requirements for seventy-two
(72) hours notice prevented the possibility of this item being considered by the City Council at that meeting.
