Summary

The Public Safety committee discussed authorizing the mayor to sign the 2025 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant certification; staff clarified the signature timing (within 30 days after an April 20 vote), and council agreed to place the item on Monday’s consent agenda.

The Public Safety Committee discussed item 26-135, which would authorize the mayor to sign the 2025 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant certification. Committee members asked about deadlines for signing and staff said the certification must be signed at least 30 days after the April 20 vote.

"It has to be signed 30 days after the vote which took place on April 20th," a staff member explained. Committee members concluded the timing allows the item to be placed on Monday's consent agenda; no final authorization occurred at the work session.

The item will be presented on the consent agenda at the next voting meeting, where the council may formally authorize the mayor to sign the certification if it so chooses.
