Council staff seeks $28,417 in grant funds for forensic science reference library and equipment
Summary
City budget staff said Tulsa received $28,417 from the Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grant Program; funds will buy mass-spectra drug reference materials and uninterruptible power supplies for drug chemistry and latent prints units.
The Urban and Economic Development Committee heard a brief presentation on Feb. 12 from Jared Milton of the budget office about a supplemental appropriation of $28,417 in grant revenues tied to the Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grant Program.
Milton said the grant is awarded annually through the district attorney’s council and that this year’s award will primarily purchase a reference library for mass‑spectra drug analysis and multiple uninterruptible power supplies for equipment used by the drug chemistry and latent prints units.
The presentation was brief and committee members had no substantive follow-up questions in the meeting transcript. The item was presented as a budget amendment to appropriate grant revenues into the forensic science improvement sub‑fund.
Ending: City staff indicated the funding is part of routine grant awards to support forensic equipment and reference materials; the committee did not record a final vote in the transcript.
