The estimated amount of federal funds to be awarded to your jurisdiction over the three -year grant period is $225,000.00. The grant award start date is March 1, 2004, which means that your agency may be reimbursed for salaries and expenses of additional officer(s) hired after this date. Upon budget approval for the awarded officer positions, your agency will be mailed a Universal Hiring Program grant award packet, which will include the official award document, budget clearance memorandum, and Grant Owner's Manual. The memorandum will specify the actual award amount and will identify any disallowed costs such as uniforms or overtime. If your agency requested a waiver of the 25% local match, your award packet will contain information about whether your waiver request was granted. To accept your grant, please sign the award document and return it to the COPS Office within 90 days. Failure to submit the signed award document within the 90 -day acceptance period could result in the COPS Office withdrawing your agency from the grant program and de- obligating any funds under this specific grant award. We are pleased that your department has elected to participate in the Universal Hiring Program and look forward to working with you in a productive partnership to further your community policing efforts. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your COPS Grant Program Specialist by calling the Department of Justice Response Center at 1.800.421.6770. Sincerely, 0,0 Carl R.
