Explanation

Need: An appropriation is needed for the ongoing Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) program. This federal program provides funds directly to units of local government to assist in equipping law enforcement officers with armor vests. The program is designed to pay up to 50% of the approved application vests. Due to limited federal program funds, the city application received only a partial award of the FY2007 original request. This appropriation is needed to utilize the funding that was awarded for the continuing purchase of uniform items.

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is necessary to make the funds available as soon as possible for future uniform contract legislation.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact for the City General Fund Account since the funds will come from the BVP - FY07 grant fund.
