CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA
DATE: April 11, 2011 RESOLUTION NO: 2011 -22
MOTION BY: Laufenburger SECONDED BY: McDonald
A RESOLUTION RELENQUISHING RIGHTS TO THE
JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT (JAG) PROGRAM
WHEREAS, through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, grant dollars
were made available within the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program to be used for overtime
costs for police services. Dollars were awarded on a formula basis, and the City of Chanhassen was
eligible for $11,966; and
WHEREAS, the City Council accepted this grant on April 27, 2009; and
WHEREAS, JAG funds cannot be used to supplant existing spending, but must be used
to augment existing service levels. The budgeted amount for overtime is $70,000. Past spending
has historically not reached this level; and
WHEREAS, staff does not believe that overtime spending will reach a level which would
allow us to access these funds before their expiration in 2012.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Chanhassen City Council hereby
relinquishes rights to Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funds in the amount of $11,966.
Passed and adopted by the Chanhassen City Council this 11 day of April, 2011.
