Bill No. 254, transmitted jointly with Resolution No. 255-00 by Finance Director

To:
0 ] 0-201-5219.59 Police Local Law Enforcement Block Grant General $97,045
Funds will be used to replace old and outdated equipment, which are intoxilyzers, radars and
portable radios.
Due to the recent deferral of a similar grant, some members of Your Committee expressed
concerns as to the validity of the certification to accept grant monies as entered into by the
current Police Chief. However, Your Committee voted in favor of this Bill, and its
accompanying Resolution, with the understanding that an official opinion from the Department
of Justice will be requested.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 254 and
recommends it pass first reading.
