| | | | | | | | Subject:
COPS School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) Grant Agreement | | |
| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:
Approve Resolution R2020-115, accepting the COPS SVPP grant agreement. | | |
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
Approve Resolution R2020-115. | | |
| | | | | | | | Discussion:
The Shakopee Police Department (SPD) applied for a COPS SVPP grant which was approved by Council on April 7, 2020 (Resolution R2020-032). The grant requested funding to purchase and install a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) at the Shakopee High School. The DAS will correct radio transmission “dead zones” within the school, providing better communication with School Resource Officers, school administration, dispatch and other first responding agencies.
If approved, the grant agreement will be signed electronically on behalf of the mayor and City Council. | | |
| | | | | | | | Budget Impact:
A 25% grant match is required. The approved grant budget is $93,280 and the SPD was awarded $69,960. The 25% match amount equates to $23,320, which will be shared between the SPD and the Shakopee Public School District. The cost share amount is $11,660 and will be covered by the Administration fund. | | |
