The Hamilton County Commission on Aug. 13 approved Resolution 825-32 authorizing the county mayor to submit an application to the U.S. Department of Justice/Homeland Security 2025 Port Security Grant program. The resolution was read into the record and adopted by roll call vote after a motion by Commissioner Graham and a second by Commissioner Shipley; no members requested public comment on the item.

The resolution directs the county mayor to submit an application; the text read into the record described the request as an authorization for the mayor to apply for the 2025 Port Security Grant.
The clerk read the caption into the record as: "Resolution 825-32, a resolution authorizing the county mayor to submit an application for the US Department of Justice Homeland Security 2025 Port Security Grant."

The sheriff or chief was asked if he or his staff wished to comment; none provided additional remarks during the record.
Ending note: The resolution passed by roll call; the county will proceed with the application process. The commission did not take additional related fiscal action during the meeting.
