EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Grant Submittals:
Staff have been supporting departments in submitting a number of smaller grants in an effort to supplement the General Fund budget with outside funding. This has become a vital strategy for the City to maintain and upgrade aging equipment and continue to offer the services to the community that they have become accustomed to.
The COPS grant was submitted with the Department of Justice which would provide $125,000 over the next 5 years to support a School Resource Officer Position. The Body Worn Camera grant was submitted with the Department of Agriculture which would provide $50,000 for the necessary upgrade of equipment within the Police Department.
Staff are also working on setting up the Rohner Recreation and Park District to be able to receive grant/loan funding through the Department of Agriculture. This will require the district to obtain an employer identification number with the IRS and setup a DUNS and CAGE number with the Federal Clearing House. Once this is completed it will allow the RCRPD to submit funding requests for the construction of the pool.
