Congresswoman presents $1,031,000 grant to Lodi for police communications upgrades
Summary
Borough Manager reported that Congresswoman Nellie Poe presented a $1,031,000 ceremonial check to the Lodi Police Department for radios and communications equipment. The manager said the award is non‑matching and will be added to the borough budget as a line item for implementation.
The Borough Manager reported that Congresswoman Nellie Poe presented a ceremonial check for $1,031,000 to the Lodi Police Department and the Borough of Lodi for upgrades to police communications and radios.
“This is almost similar in upgrades for radios…And it’s not a matching grant,” the Manager said, noting the borough expects to add a budget line over the next couple of months to process the funds.
The manager said several Bergen County recipients received grants and that Lodi was one of seven or eight awardees. The council thanked the manager and acknowledged the award during communications; no formal action to accept or appropriate the funds was recorded on the meeting agenda.
Next steps the manager outlined include formal budget adjustments to reflect the grant and subsequent procurement or project steps handled by borough staff and the police department.
