COUNCIL GOALS:
• Improve public safety by increasing operational efficiency, visibility, and availability.
• Practice sound fiscal management by pursing grant opportunities.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fontana, as well as other cities in the County of San Bernardino, will be the recipients of JAG Funds for 2023. The County of San Bernardino serves as the grant administrator on behalf of all cities in the County. As a result, an Interlocal Agreement must be signed by all cities and the county. Each city will sign a separate Agreement as the timeline set by the Federal government to receive these funds will not permit one Agreement to be circulated and signed by every city in the county.
The Fontana Police Department plans to utilize 2023 JAG funds to purchase radio equipment. Due to available supplies and time constraints, if items are unavailable, funds will be reallocated to other identified priority law enforcement equipment.
Indicated in Appendix 1 of the Interlocal Agreement, the City of Fontana is eligible to receive $58,201. The County will retain a 5% administration fee in the amount of $2,910, and therefore the City of Fontana will receive $55,291.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact associated with the approval of this item is an increase in revenues and expenditures in the amount of $55,291 in Grant Fund #301, Project #40200006-301-A. Appropriate budget adjustments will be submitted to the Budget Office with the 2nd Quarter Budget Status Report.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.
