AGENDA MATTER:
ACCEPTANCE OF THE FY 2023 EDWARD BYRNE MEMORIAL JUSTICE ASSISTANT GRANT (JAG)
AWARD AS A SUB-RECIPIENT THROUGH THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT, OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Staff is recommending that Council approve the acceptance of the FY2023 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) award in the amount of $21,813 for the purchase of equipment used by law enforcement within the City of Barstow.
DISCUSSION:
The Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) through the San Bernardino County Law and Justice Group have awarded the City of Barstow funds under the FY 2023 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Grant.
As a sub-recipient under this grant, the City will receive $21,813.
The San Bernardino County Law and Justice Group will act as the fiscal agent/administrator for this grant and will be responsible for all fiscal and progress reporting. The City of Barstow, as a sub-recipient of this grant, will be responsible for the procurement of the approved equipment, quarterly reporting, and compliance with funding requirements as set forth by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA).
The Barstow Police Department, as the law enforcement sub-recipient under the JAG, has been awarded funding for the following equipment:
1) Polaris Razor Off-Highway Vehicle $21,813
The Barstow Police Department currently has one Polaris Razor Off-Highway Vehicle. By deploying an additional off-highway vehicle, the Barstow Police Department will enhance the department’s ability to patrol remote areas, respond to emergencies, conduct search and rescue operations, and support crime prevention efforts in locations where traditional vehicles are ineffective. Expanding our OHV fleet improves coverage, officer safety, and response times, ultimately increasing public safety and operational efficiency.
Grant Total $21,813
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a reimbursable grant. There are no matching funds required for this grant. The expenditure of $21,813 for the purchase of the listed equipment must be made by the City and then reimbursement will be requested through the grant reimbursement process.
