Agenda Item Brief:

The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance is offering a 2018 Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program Award collectively in the amount of $144,204 to the Reno Police Department, Washoe County Sheriff's Office and the Sparks Police Department. The funding can be used towards law enforcement training, law enforcement equipment, and law enforcement personnel overtime expenses. The Sparks Police Department's allocation of funding is $28,841. Reno and Washoe County will both receive $57,682. This grant is currently still in the application phase.

This agenda item pertains only to the possible approval and signing of the interlocal agreement for the management disposition of 2018 JAG Program Award. A separate agenda item will be submitted at a later date pending actual grant award.

Background:

The interlocal agreement identifies the participating agencies within the grant, establishes the City of Reno as the fiscal agent and responsible for all grant reporting during the program period of October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2021. In addition to the interlocal agreement, JAG is requiring "Certifications and Assurances by the Chief Executive of the Applicant Government," signed by the Mayor and "Local Government: FY 2018 Certification Relating to 8 U.S.C. 1226(a) & (c), 1231(a)(4), 1324(a), 1357(a), & 1366(1) & (3)" signed by the City Attorney as part of the application process.

Analysis:

The approval of the interlocal agreement and associated U.S. Department of Justice Forms are needed to complete the application process of the 2018 JAG Program Award in the amount of $144,204. Upon application approval, the Sparks Police Department will be allocated funds in the amount of $28,841. This funding will be used toward purchasing secure storage systems for police gear and weapons and compliance training for records division personnel.

Alternatives:

The city can elect to decline to participate in the interlocal agreement and associated grant monies and direct the City Manager to seek funding elsewhere.

Recommended Motion:

I move to accept and approve the interlocal agreement with the City of Reno, Washoe County, and the City of Sparks for the management and disposition of the 2018 Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program Award in the amount of $28,841.
