AGENDA ITEM _6B <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR David J. Pecchia, Chief of Police <br />DATE June 28, 1999 <br />TOPIC Accepting U.S. Department of Justice, <br />Office of Community Oriented Policing <br />Services Grant Funds <br />VOTES REQUIRE <br />BACKGROUND <br />3/5 votes <br />On February 17, 1999 a request was made to accept the <br />Community Oriented Policing grant funds in the amount of <br />$150,000 (over a period of three years, 1999 through 2001) <br />to hire two police officers due to the current tax rate. At <br />that time the City Council requested that we submit a <br />hardship application which would pay the entire salary of <br />these two officers for the term of the three year grant. We <br />have now received the response from the Department of <br />Justice, denying our request for the hardship. <br />The Lino Lakes Police Department is requesting that we <br />accept the grant funds to hire the two Law Enforcement <br />Officers through this program. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Accept the grant funds to hire two Law Enforcement <br />Officers through this program. <br />2. Not accept the grant funds. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Option N <br />
