Summary

Council accepted a $217,000 MCOLES grant for in-service training and approved a $57,500 contract with Oakland Community College for advanced emergency vehicle operations training after members confirmed the course is not available locally at Macomb Community College.

The council approved a request from the Police Department to increase budgeted revenues and appropriations by $217,000 to account for a grant from the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES) to support in-service training. The measure passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.

Separately, the council approved a waiver of the bid process to award advanced police emergency vehicle operations training to Oakland Community College for $57,500. A councilmember asked whether Macomb Community College offered the training; staff explained it was not available there, prompting the contract award to Oakland Community College. The waiver and award carried by voice/roll-call vote.
