Approval and acceptance by the City of Fort Pierce for the Sub-award received from Indian River State College for $95,444.00 to be used for the purchase of security cameras.

The Police Department has tentatively been awarded $95,444.00 as a sub-recipient through Indian River State College (IRSC). IRSC was awarded a $4M grant for their Blackburn Educational Building through the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, Capital Projects Funds (CPF) Multi-Purpose Community Facilities Program (MPCF). This grant was written with proposals from the Police Department and the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority, both of which will be sub-recipients of the award.  The Police Department submitted a proposal to purchase and have approximately twenty (20) security cameras installed in the area of the Blackburn Educational Building to improve public safety, reduce crime, enhance law enforcement effectiveness, and foster community engagement. The Fort Pierce Utilities Authority has agreed to install the cameras.

This grant does not require a match.

The documents have been submitted to the City Attorney's Office and have been approved for form and correctness.

Staff recommends approval of the Sub-Recipient Commitment Form and the FDP Cost Reimbursement Sub-award.

Do not approve the sub-recipient award; subsequently, funds will not be awarded.
