Proposal Abstract
The City of Murrieta will use grant funding and other local funds to purchase and furnish a new mobile command center for use by the Murrieta Police Department. The current command center is well beyond its useful life in terms of technology and mechanical ability. The mobile command center is a critical component to both local and regional response and is necessary for effective command and control. Locally the command center is used in response to law enforcement and fire critical incidents as well as natural disasters where an on-scene command center is required. Regionally, the Murrieta Police Department is partners with all Riverside County law enforcement agencies to leverage resources including mobile command centers, through formal mutual-aid requests. This new mobile command center will serve as a regional asset for Southwest Riverside County communities including Temecula, Hemet, Menifee, French Valley, Lake Elsinore, and Wildomar.

(See paragraph D.1.b. in Appendix VII to Part 200—States and Local Government and Indian Tribe Indirect Cost Proposals for a description of entities that may not elect to use the “de minimis” rate.) An applicant with a current, federally approved indirect cost rate must attach a copy of the rate approval, (a fully-executed, negotiated agreement). If the applicant does not have an approved rate, one can be requested by contacting the applicant’s cognizant Federal agency, which will review all documentation and approve a rate for the applicant organization, or if the applicant’s accounting system permits, costs may be allocated in the direct costs categories. (Applicant Indian tribal governments, in particular, should review Appendix VII to Part 200—States and Local Government and Indian Tribe Indirect Cost Proposals regarding submission and documentation of indirect cost proposals.) All requested information must be included in the budget detail worksheet and budget narrative. In order to use the “de minimis” indirect rate an applicant would need to attach written documentation to the application that advises DOJ of both the applicant’s eligibility (to use the “de minimis” rate) and its election. If the applicant elects the de minimis method, costs must be consistently charged as either indirect or direct costs, but may not be double charged or inconsistently charged as both. In addition, if this method is chosen then it must be used consistently for all federal awards until such time as the applicant entity chooses to negotiate a federally approved indirect cost rate.

a. each such institution comply with any requirements that are imposed on it by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and
b. subject to par. a, each such institution comply with its own representations, if any, concerning academic freedom, freedom of inquiry and debate, research independence, and research integrity, at the institution, that are included in promotional materials, in official statements, in formal policies, in applications for grants (including this award application), for accreditation, or for licensing, or in submissions relating to such grants, accreditation, or licensing, or that otherwise are made or disseminated to students, to faculty, or to the general public.
