Council adds and approves application for DOJ body-worn camera grant with $10,000 local match
Summary
By emergency suspension of rules the council added communication 2025-5515 and voted 9-0 to authorize applying for a Department of Justice body-worn camera policy and implementation grant, approving a $10,000 local (50%) match.
The council suspended rules to add an emergency communication from Ed Lester seeking authorization for Butte-Silver Bow to apply for a U.S. Department of Justice Body-Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program grant (communication 2025-5515). The council voted 9-0 to concur with the communication and approve a requested $10,000 local match at 50%.
Commissioner Thatcher moved to suspend rules and add the item to the agenda; the suspension and subsequent concurrence and placement on file were approved by recorded votes of 9-0. No public testimony was recorded on the grant application at the meeting.
The action authorizes staff to apply for the DOJ grant and to include the local matching funds as requested; any award and required appropriation would return to the council for formal acceptance and budget action.
