Agenda Item Brief: An amendment to A-3974 accepted by Council on 5/13/2013 would increase the amount of funding being accepted, and the distribution of those funds between the City of Sparks and City of Reno.
Background: The Sparks Police Department works with the Reno Police Department in a joint commercial vehicle inspection unit. This unit is funded by a grant from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. That grant was offered to and accepted by the City at a reduced funding amount on May 13, 2013. Since then, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration budget has been formalized and they are now offering to fund the grant at the fully requested amount. This agenda item, if approved will accept the full amount of the grant and division of proceeds with the City of Reno. The amount will increase from $29,000 to $57,500 for the City of Sparks.
Analysis: The increase in grant funding will allow for nearly twice the amount of work to be completed with the grant funds.
Alternatives: The City can decline the increase and seek funding elsewhere for this purpose.
Recommended Motion: Approve Amendment No. 1 to A-3974 and accept the increase in funding offered from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program grant.
