Bardstown council backs grant support to buy rifles for police department
Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution R2024-04 supporting a Kentucky Office of Homeland Security Law Enforcement Protection Program grant application to assist with purchasing rifles for the Bardstown Police Department.
At its Aug. 13, 2024 meeting the City of Bardstown City Council approved Resolution R2024-04 in support of a Law Enforcement Protection Program grant sponsored by the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security.
Councilman Franklin Hibbs IV moved “to approve Resolution R2024-04 in support of a Law Enforcement Protection Program grant sponsored by the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security to assist with purchasing rifles for the police department.” Councilman Bill Sheckles seconded the motion and it carried 5-0.
The motion recorded council support for a grant application; the resolution as presented in the meeting minutes does not specify procurement details, quantities, supplier selections, grant award conditions or timelines. Police Chief Kim Kraeszig previously introduced Sergeant Matthew Thomerson earlier in the meeting and is listed among staff present; the transcript does not include additional public comment or departmental testimony about the rifle purchase.
The council handled the resolution as a single, recorded motion and did not amend it during the meeting. Any procurement or acceptance of grant funds would follow required city procurement and budget processes and, if awarded, would be reflected in future minutes or ordinances.
