REQUEST: The Police Department wishes to inform the commission about Federal
grant funding available through the 2009 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance
Grant as part of the recent American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
PURPOSE: This year, the President signed into law the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the "Recovery Act". In this stimulus package, the City
of Winter Springs has been designated to receive as much as $32,974.00 for law enforcement
programs. It is the intention of the police department to apply for these funds in accordance with
policies and we have already started this process. It is our desire to help supplement the existing
police overtime budget for the purposes of increasing high visibility neighborhood and business
patrols to combat crime and reducing those opportunities.
CONSIDERATIONS: None.
FUNDING: None. This is a grant with no matching funds required.
RECOMMENDATION: Informational only.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: None.
