Request/Subject

Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety FFY 2018 Speed Enforcement Grant Application.

Background Information

The Gila County Sheriff's Office is working with outdated and non serviceable speed enforcement equipment. In order for the Deputies to effectively do speed enforcement this equipment is needed. Due to the short notice to submit a grant application, the Gila County Sheriff's Office electronically submitted the FFY 2018 Speed Enforcement Grant Application on March 14, 2017.

Evaluation

If a grant is awarded to the Gila County Sheriff's Office, the acquisition and use of these radars will greatly enhance the ability of the Sheriff's Office Deputies in the field to effectively enforce speed details and speed enforcement during their patrol duties. Notification was also provided to the Gila County Sheriff's Office that a resolution passed and adopted by the Board of Supervisors needs to be submitted with the application, and a Certification form which states that the Resolution was passed and adopted by the Board of Supervisors.

Conclusion

The Gila County Sheriff's Office is requesting assistance from the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) to purchase (10) Dual Antenna Radar Units for a total amount of $16,535. Per County process, the Sheriff's Office is requesting the Board of Supervisors' authorization for its submittal of the grant application to include Resolution No. 17-05-05 and a Resolution Certification form.

Recommendation

Gila County Sheriff J. Adam Shepherd recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the electronic submission of a grant application which includes Resolution No. 17-05-05 and the Certification form for the speed enforcement grant application to the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety on March 14, 2017, in the amount of $16,535 for a performance period of October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018.
