Information

Agenda Item

Discuss and take appropriate action on Grant Adjustment Notice for Grant SHSGP FY07.

Background

This grant (SHSGP FY07) was originally awarded in the amount of $189,350.00. Unfortunately, that amount represented an error by the COG in equally funding the four HSTF CBRNE Strike Team’s Law Enforcement Teams. The “Equipment for CBRNE Strike Teams” line item portion of the funding was supposed to be in a ratio to the number of officers per team. To correct these amounts, GANs have been issued to the four effected sub-recipients. This Williamson County GAN reduces our grant by $53,771.63, to the adjusted grant total of $135,578.37. At present, our FY07 grant is “locked” until this GAN is fully processed.

Of the adjusted award of $135,578.37, the amount of $35,000 remains applicable to the project for the Sheriff’s Department’s purchase of the rapid deployment vehicle. The remaining $100,578.37 will be applied to the Sheriff’s Department’s purchase of various “personnel protective equipment.” It is my understanding that this protective equipment will be made up of items previously agreed upon between the tactical teams, the concept being that CBRNE Strike Teams providing combined regional response should have the same capabilities and equipment.

If you should need any additional information, please, just let me know. Once the GAN is signed, we will need to fax and mail it back to the SAA, so that the account will be unlocked.

Thanks for your help,
