Council authorizes police to apply for tribal gaming grant to buy two patrol cars
Summary
The council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the Pinetop Lakeside Police Department to submit a Proposition 202 gaming grant application to the Tohono O'odham Nation to buy two fully outfitted patrol vehicles, with Chief of Police Dan Barnes named as the grant agent if the application succeeds.
The Pinetop Lakeside Town Council voted unanimously to authorize the police department to submit a Proposition 202 gaming-distribution grant application to a tribal nation to finance two patrol vehicles.
Chief Dan Barnes told the council the department is requesting grant funds to purchase two fully outfitted patrol cars and estimated the total cost would be "not to exceed $145,141.64." Councilmember Certain Smith moved to adopt resolution number 26-1814 authorizing the submission and, if successful, appointing the chief as the town's agent to execute the grant agreement; another councilmember seconded the motion and the measure carried unanimously.
Council members noted a small clerical typo in the resolution number in the motion, which staff said would be corrected in the final paperwork. The council recorded no conditions or amendments to the authorization.
If the grant is awarded, the police department will proceed under the terms of the grant agreement with the nation and bring any required match or acceptance documents back to the council as needed.
