<br />City of <br />Elk -~-, <br />River <br />MEMORANDUM <br />T~: Mayor and City Council <br />~R~M: Bob Kluntz, Police Department <br />DATE: April 9, 2409 <br />SUBJECT: Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant <br />Ea~:lief• in 2009 the ponce department was made awa~.•e of funds available through the Edward <br />Byrne Memo~•ial Justice Assistance Grant. X20,740 was allotted to the police depar~.xaent, so after <br />some discussion it was decided to apply fo~• these funds to offset the cost of a ma~.•ked squad car• <br />This will not be an .addition to the fleet; the funds will be used to replace funding which we expect <br />to be cut in 2010. <br />As a requirement of this grant request, the application must be made available fo~.• ~.•evieur by the <br />governing body of the City of Ells River not fewer than 30 days before the application is <br />submitted. Therefore, no action is requested, the only requirement is that the application is made <br />available for Council review. <br />Because of nonMsupplanting requirements and the fact that the window of opportunity to order a <br />2009 car has closed, the money has been requested for the purchase of a car in 2010. Due to <br />budget cuts a squad car was removed from the police departtxaent 209 budget,ln anticipation of <br />further cuts in 2010 the police department wishes to use this grant money to assist in the purchase <br />of a squad car; which we expect to be cut from next years budget, The current cost of a 2009 car <br />is X23,279, so with this funding a new car could be purchased at a cost of approximately X2,539 to <br />the City, <br />
