PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: This grant has been previously awarded to or accepted by the City. BACKGROUND: The State of Colorado Department of Law POST Grant Agreement provides funds to the thirty- nine (39) law enforcement agencies of the Central Mountain Training Region (“CMTR”) for the purpose of improving law enforcement technology and training and upgrading necessary equipment. The Pueblo Police Department will act as the fiscal agent for this grant. Decisions related to training, equipment, and technology will be made with the assistance of an advisory board. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: This grant will require monitoring, auditing, and submission of financial documents which will impact the City with staffing costs. The grant does provide monies to offset those expenditures. The Police Department will realize infrastructure benefits as well. Improvements to the Department’s shooting range facility and classroom spaces are allowable under this grant. One (1) sworn full-time Police Department employee has been selected to administer this program along with employees from the Finance Department. The City of Pueblo is responsible for administering the drawdown of the grant. The City will submit quarterly reports to Colorado POST documenting expenditures. Matching funds from the City are not required for this grant. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Central Mountain Training Region law enforcement leaders have met and support the Pueblo Police Department becoming the fiscal agent for this grant. The Police Department, acting as fiscal agent, will work with the CMTR advisory board to make decisions related to training, equipment, and infrastructure. ALTERNATIVES: Decline this grant offer from Colorado POST. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance. Attachments: FY19 STATE OF COLORADO POST Grant Agreement Exhibits A and B
