The grant period covers July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026; funds will be disbursed quarterly. The acceptance of the award is being brought retroactively because the notice of approval was sent by BSCC to the Police Department on July 2, 2025. This late approval did not allow the Department to prepare for Council action before the beginning of the grant performance period.
