Ready, City Manager BY: Alberto Franz III, Police Chief SUMMARY It is recommended that the City Council accept a grant award to the City in the amount of $20,031 from the U.S. Department of Justice, Justice Assistance (JAG) Program and sign an Interlocal Agreement with the cities of Banning, Cathedral City, Coachella, Corona, Desert Hot Springs, Hemet, Indio,, Jurupa, La Quinta, Moreno Valley, Perris, the County of Riverside and the City of Riverside, authorizing the County of Riverside to administer the grant on behalf of participating agencies. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve the acceptance of a grant award from the United States Department of Justice in the amount of $20,031 for the 2015 Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program. 2. Approve an Interlocal Agreement with the County of Riverside, and various cities within Riverside County, for the County of Riverside to administer the grant on behalf of participating agencies. 3. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. STAFF ANALYSIS: The United States Department of Justice awards annual grants entitled Justice Assistance (JAG) Programs to law enforcement agencies. In the past the U.S. Department of Justice awarded grants to individual law enforcement agencies. However, beginning in 2012 the Department of Justice modified the grant process by awarding the entire amount allocated for the fourteen (14) County of Riverside law enforcement agencies in one disbursement. The fourteen Riverside County law enforcement agencies agreed that one agency would administer the total distributed amount, and that each of the participating agencies would release ten percent (10%) of their individual awards to the administering agency ITEM NO. City Council Staff Report July 15, 2015 -- Page 2 Agreement to Accept Department of Justice Award and Sign Interlocal Agreement for program management. The County of Riverside was selected as administering agency. The amount awarded to the City of Palm Springs for 2015 is $20,031. Under the agreement, the City of Palm Springs would release $2,003 to the County of Riverside, leaving an award balance of $18,028. JAG funds may be used for a variety of public safety programs and equipment. The Police Department plans to use these grant funds to purchase a new network server. We currently have three (3) physical servers dedicated for our CAD (dispatch) and Records Management System (RMS). Two servers were purchased in 2006 and the third in 2011. One server is in need of critical maintenance and all three are near capacity. This one physical server will replace the current three older servers; converting the three older servers to virtual servers hosted on the one new physical server. We will also be able to host additional virtual servers for new projects and technology. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the City budget. Alberto Franz David H.
