| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: |
| On April 7, 2017, the Police Department was awarded notice of available funding to purchase the proposed equipment. The Town of Oro Valley wishes to enter into a subgrantee agreement with the Arizona Department of Homeland Security (AZDOHS) to fund the purchase of equipment to support officers deployed under the Operation Stonegarden program. This partnership between the Town, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other federal and local law enforcement agencies brings unique benefits to the Town and its community. |
| BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: |
| The grant application was made in order to work in a regional partnership with other local law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Border Patrol Tucson Sector to reduce crime and improve the quality of life for the residents and visitors of Oro Valley. This grant will provide equipment for officers assigned to deployments that are intended to impact the flow of smugglers transporting humans and illegal contraband, as well as possible terrorists who intend to cause harm or commit crimes against this nation. As a result, AZDOHS has awarded funding for Density Meter/Contraband kits to support detection efforts by officers deployed under the Operation Stonegarden program. |
| FISCAL IMPACT: |
| The approved FY 2016/2017 budget includes the capacity, in the appropriate category, for this award. The fiscal impact is $15,206, received by the Town through grant funding. |
| SUGGESTED MOTION: |
| I MOVE to (approve or deny) Resolution No. (R)17-18, authorizing and approving a subgrantee agreement between the Town of Oro Valley and the Arizona Department of Homeland Security to fund the purchase of two (2) Density Meter/Contraband Detection Kits under the Operation Stonegarden program. |
