From: <br /> <br /> iver Date: <br />Police Department Subject: <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />Mayor and city Council <br /> <br />Thomas D. Zerwas, Chief of <br /> <br />July 8, 1996 <br /> <br />MINNESOTA CRIME BILL <br /> <br />ITEM 6.3. <br /> <br />Police~.. <br /> <br />This is to inform the City Council that we have received a <br />Minnesota C.O.P.S. Fast grant. The City Council authorized me to <br />submit a grant request for two (2) officers; however, we only <br />received funding for one (1) officer. <br /> <br />There were a total of thirty-two (32) positions funded; and of <br />this, twenty (20) positions went to Minneapolis and Saint Paul. <br />The remainder went to twelve (12) communities, mainly in the metro <br />area. I am enclosing the list of cities for your review. <br /> <br />The difference in this grant versus U.S.C.O.P.S. Fast is that all <br />of the $75,000.00 (Seventy-five thousand dollars) is received up <br />front, so interest can be earned. <br /> <br />The City Council needs to decide whether or not to accept the grant <br />and to pass a resolution authorizing the grant application for <br />funding from the Hiring of New Officers from the category of the <br />1996 Omnibus Crime Prevention Act and the receiving of these funds. <br /> <br />I recommend that the City Council authorize and accept these funds. <br />I will be in attendance at Monday's meeting if you should have any <br />questions. <br /> <br />TDZ/kma <br /> <br />enc. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
