COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
FROM: Daniel P. Doyle, Chief of Police
SUBJECT:Title
Adopt Resolution No. 17-3166 Approving and Authorizing the Police Chief to Execute a Peace Officer Training Fund Grant Agreement with the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training (AZ POST) Board for the Operation of the Western Arizona Law Enforcement Training Academy (WALETA)
Body
FUNDING SOURCE:
Grant
PURPOSE:
Approve and authorize the Police Chief to execute a grant agreement with AZ POST for the operation of WALETA.
BACKGROUND:
Lake Havasu City has acted in a fiduciary capacity for WALETA since the inception of the program in 2007. A similar grant agreement was entered into with AZ POST in 2015 (AZ POST Contract #2015-001) at a funding amount of $100,000 annually for five (5) years; however, budgetary constraints are forcing the cancellation of that agreement, resulting in a lesser annual amount.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
The reduction in annual funding from AZ POST will reduce the opportunity for future improvements at the WALETA facility but will not negatively impact the operations of the academy.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding in the amount of $75,000 will be received annually for a period of five (5) years beginning the first quarter of 2017 (between July 1 and September 30). The reduction in annual revenue will be met with a corresponding reduction in expenses and/or revenue from an alternative source such as RICO or MAGNET funds contributed by Western Arizona Law Enforcement Association participating agencies.
ATTACHMENTS:
Resolution No. 17-3166
AZ POST Contract #17-004
SUGGESTED MOTION:Recommended Action
I move to adopt Resolution No. 17-3166 and authorize the Chief of Police to execute a Peace Officer Training Fund Grant Agreement with the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training (AZ POST) Board for the operation of the Western Arizona Law Enforcement Training Academy (WALETA).
