Council moves $127,519 in grant funds into police materials and supplies account
Summary
The council authorized two budget amendments totaling $127,519 to transfer grant funds into the police department's materials and supplies account for law enforcement equipment purchased with 2024 grants.
City Chamberlain Deborah Cote asked the Administrative Services Committee to authorize two budget amendments totaling $127,519 to move grant funds into the police department's materials and supplies account so the department can use equipment purchased with 2024 grants.
"This is just to bring the grant funds forward so the police department can utilize them," Chamberlain Deborah Cote said.
Councilors moved and approved the budget amendments. The motion recorded affirmative votes from Councilors Walton, Vinicci, Plunkett, Bridge and Allen.
Why it matters: The amendments reallocate previously awarded grant funds so the police department can recognize and use equipment purchases made in 2024. The chamberlain said the action simply brings the grants into the department's operating account so staff can access the items.
Background: The amendments were described as grant-related adjustments and not new spending beyond awards already received.
