Explanation
BACKGROUND:
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 program funding only a partial award has been received after the purchases have been completed. This appropriation is needed to utilize the funding award for the continuing purchase of uniform items.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact for the City General Fund Account since the funds will come from the BVP Grant Fund.
