Public Hearing and Application for Justice Assistance Grant
Program
PROPOSED MOTION:
"The City Council approves the application for the Justice Assistance Grant
Program in the amount of $11,966."
Approval of this item requires a simple majority vote of those City Council
members present.
BACKGROUND
Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, grant dollars
have been made available within the Justice Assistance Grant Program. The City
of Chanhassen is eligible to apply for $11,966. The City proposes to use these
dollars to fund overtime costs.
JAG awards are distributed up front instead of on a reimbursement basis. The
City will have four years to expend the funds. JAG funds cannot be used to
supplant existing spending, but will be used to augment existing service levels.
The JAG application suggests that the public be afforded the opportunity to
provide input to the proposed use for the funds. The City Council will hold a
public hearing at the meeting for this purpose.
RECCOMENDA TION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the application for the Justice
Assistance Grant Program in the amount of $11,966.
