Fiscal Court authorizes applications for two LEPP homeland-security grants
Summary
The court passed resolutions authorizing applications to the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security for law-enforcement protection funds; the resolutions state the county desires to apply but do not guarantee awards.
The Fiscal Court approved two resolutions authorizing Jackson County to apply for Law Enforcement Protection Program (LEPP) funding through the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security.
Officials said the two separate resolutions (referenced in the meeting as resolutions numbered O31324 and O31425) reflect two distinct grant applications to the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security. A county staff member identified the grant as a percent-based grant rather than a direct-match grant and said the applications could include items such as rifles and related equipment; the county’s Area Development District staff are assisting with the application.
Court members voted to pass both resolutions authorizing submission of the applications. Officials emphasized that passing the resolution simply permits the county to apply and does not guarantee award of funds.
