emergency response communication units throughout the county are provided up-to-date training,equipment and operating tools.To apply,a local
jurisdiction must expend a specified amount of funds in direct support of its emergency response communication units.These expenses can be for
supplies,training,equipment,or other items with direct linkages to emergency response communication efforts.Once the threshold is met,the
jurisdiction can receive a pro-rated amount based on population.
The Police Department will use its reimbursement to pay for furniture,training and other related items for the Communications Center.
A Form 1295 is not required because:This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances,funds
will be deposited into the General Fund as appropriated. The Police Department(and Financial Management Services)is responsible for the
collection and deposit of funds due to the City and prior to any expense incurred,the Police Department also has the responsibility to validate the
