PS1503, AND TRANSFERRING FUNDS FROM THE PROJECTS TO BE DETERMINED – PUBLIC SAFETY GRANT FUND TO PROJECT NO. PS1503 SUMMARY: Attached is a Resolution approving the creation of Project No. PS1503 for the purpose of accepting grant funds from the Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Program Grant as allocated to members of the Southern Colorado Reduced Auto Theft Task Force. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On February 23, 2015, City Council approved by Ordinance the Memorandum of Understanding by and between the City of Pueblo, a Municipal Corporation and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado Springs Police Department, Fountain Police Department, Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office, Manitou Springs Police Department, and the Woodland Park Police Department for the purpose of participating in the Southern Colorado Reduced Auto Theft Task Force (SCRATT). BACKGROUND: The task force utilizes funds provided by the Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Authority (CATPA) grant. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office receives the grant funds and distributes the funds to participating organizations pursuant to the provisions of CATPA’s FY15 grant award. The original ordinance approving the SCRATT memorandum of understanding failed to explicitly accept the grant funds, establish a project, and transfer the grant funds to that project. In addition, the overall grant funds were decreased and therefore, the amount allocated to the Pueblo Police Department was decreased from $8,197.00 to $4,229.00. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The CATPA funds shall be used by the Police Department only in accordance with the provisions of CATPA’s FY15 grant award, pursuant to the project number CATPA 14-JAJU14- 003165, to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office. The Pueblo Police Department shall receive $4,229.00 as allocated by the grant award. No match is required by the City of Pueblo. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: N/A ALTERNATIVES: City Council may opt to decline the grant funds. RECOMMENDATION: The Police Department recommends approval of the Ordinance. Attachments: CATPA Overtime Allocation worksheet.
