Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve reallocated funds contract from the Department of Homeland Security in the amount of $18,073 from reallocated, previously unspent Stone Garden funds, for the purchase of additional equipment to be utilized by the Sheriff's Office.
Background:
The Sheriff's Office has received funding from DOHS for Operation Stone Garden. The funding is to be utilized to purchase equipment to further assist the US Border Patrol in identifying and deterring illegal immigrant and drug smuggling into the United States, specifically for the Sheriff's Office into Cochise County. This funding allows the Sheriff's Office to purchase equipment for the offices use to combat illegal drug smuggling the Sheriff's Office would otherwise not be able to gain/gather through other funding sources.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If approved, the Sheriff's Office will continue to participate with the US Border Patrol in Operation Stone Garden. Also, the Sheriff's Office will purchase the already approved (through the US Border Patrol and DOHS) equipment that will be utilized in the operations.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The Sheriff's Office will lose out on the purchasing of additional equipment this office would otherwise not be able to obtain if it were not for this grant/funding source.
