Agenda Item Text:
Approve 2009 Reallocated StoneGarden Grant money to purchase equipment to be utilized by the Sheriff's Office in direct support of the Operations StoneGarden initiative funded through the Arizona Department of Homeland Security, in the amount of $254,730.89; project to be completed by October 31, 2012.
Background:
Operation StoneGarden is an on-going Federally funded grant that supports local Law Enforcement Agencies along the US/Mexican border to provide increased resources and assets to assist the United States Border Patrol, in their efforts in securing the border. Currently the Sheriff's Office supports the United States Border Patrol in operations along the US/Mexican border, by conducting various patrolling efforts and Southbound operations in conjunction with paid overtime details in support of the on-going StoneGarden Grant. This funding request is a one time dispersement to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office from unallocated StoneGarden funds from fiscal year 2009.
