<br /> <br />13 <br />Local funding, after subtracting the 10% administrative fee ($1,942.60) to support front <br />line police capabilities as required under the grant. This funding source creates an <br />opportunity to purchase bullet resistant helmets for our staff. <br />Specifically, the funds would be used in the following areas: <br /> <br />A. Equipment <br />The Union City Police Department (UCPD) plans to use this JAG Local funding to help <br />augment the cost of purchasing bullet resistant (ballistic) helmets for our first <br />responders. Currently, UCPD does not have enough ballistic helmets to outfit our first <br />responders. Ballistic helmets are certified for a 5-year (or more) timeframe, depending <br />on manufacturer warranty. The purchase of ballistic helmets would afford our first <br />responders an additional level of protection in the event they need to respond to a <br />critical incident and/or active shooter scenario. <br /> <br />B. Operating Expenses <br />Any additional expenses associated with the purchase of ballistic helmets will be funded <br />from City of Union City General Funds. The Union City Police Department plans to use <br />the total grant funding of $17,483.40 to purchase the listed equipment and will cover the <br />overage with General Fund monies. The Byrne JAG Local funds will be used in the <br />following manner: <br /> <br />Proposed Budget: <br />Item Purpose Cost <br />per <br />Unit <br />Number <br />Of <br />Units <br />Total <br />Ballistic/Bullet <br />Proof Helmets for <br />New and Existing <br />Officers <br />Ballistic helmets afford an <br />additional level of safety & <br />protection for our staff in <br />dealing with critical incidents <br />$500 35 <br />$17,483.40 <br />Administrative Fee <br /> <br /> <br />FY2022 Byrne JAG <br />Local Allocation <br /> <br />Less 10% Administrative Fee <br />($19,426 X 10%) <br /> <br />Total Grant Funding <br />Received <br /> <br /> $1,942.60 <br /> <br /> <br />$19,426.00 <br /> <br />C. Conclusion <br />The proposed budgets are based on projected costs based on quotes received from <br />vendors. Due to the current state of the economy and ongoing negotiations of purchase <br />prices for the items listed, savings within one category will be reallocated to another so <br />as to leverage funding to the greatest extent possible to achieve the overall goals of this <br />proposal <br />
