The Sheriff's Office portion of the formula based award is $14,249. The City of Greeley is the fiscal agent for the grant and will complete all necessary reporting requirements, and issue us the reimbursement of these dollars once spent on eligible projects. As in past years, a Memorandum of Understanding is needed between the City of Greeley and the Weld County Board of County Commissioners to memorialize the division of funds. Historically the Sheriff's Office has spent JAG grant funds on equipment needs. This year is similar. Before asking for and investing in a large item of equipment such as a full body scanner for the jail booking area, the Sheriff's Office would like to use these grant funds to lease a machine to evaluate and ensure this type of equipment investment would have a positive impact on inmate and officer safety. It is believed that future incidents of smuggling contraband into the jail facility can be more easily identified and stopped with this type of equipment. If the Sheriff's Office is unable to find a vendor to provide such a lease, the back up to this request would be for mobile fingerprint scanners for the Patrol Division to help with the pre -booking process, improving overall efficiency in the jail and increase safety for deputies on the road. Due to the short turnaround for this grant application, we are asking for approval to move forward with the MOU knowing that one of these two projects will be implemented with these funds. This MOU has been sent to the County Attorney's Office for review as well. What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options) 1) Authorize Chair to sign the MOU and receive the $14,249 from the JAG by partnering with Greeley. 2) Request more information and schedule a work session. 3) Refuse to enter into the MOU, causing the forfeiture of these dollars for FY2017. Recommendation: We recommend the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Commissioner Chair to sign the MOU with Greeley to receive the JAG funds as designated by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Thank you. Approve Recommendation Sean P. Conway Julie A.
