| Grant Award Contract No. CNA15-431 from the State of Arizona Constable Ethics, Standards & Training Board Equipment Grant Program for Vests. |
| Background Information |
On January 13, 2015, Payson Regional Constable, Colt White, learned of a grant opportunity offered by the State of Arizona Constable Ethics, Standards & Training Board Equipment Grant Program. The Constable Ethics, Standards & Training Board (CESTB) was accepting grant applications through noon on Friday, January 16, 2015, to provide funding for equipment and training.
Once Constable White became aware of the grant funding opportunity, there was not enough time to get the application on the Board of Supervisors' meeting agenda and be able to meet the application deadline. On January 15, 2015, Constable White hand delivered a grant application in the amount of $2,853.84 to the CESTB, for the purchase of two ballistic vests with carriers. |
| Evaluation |
The objective of the grant application is to receive funding to purchase two ballistic vests, along with carriers, to replace body armor currently expired. The purchase of the vests will improve the safety and security of the Constables, by replacing expired ballistic vests, which provide protection against a deadly force encounter.
On January 22, 2015, Gila County was notified by letter that the grant application had been awarded in the amount requested, $2,853.84. Along with the notification letter, Grant Award Contract No. CNA15-431 was sent to Gila County for execution. Per the provisions of the grant award contract, Gila County agrees to retain, and require each subcontractor to retain, all records relating to this contract for a period of five years; and include with each reimbursement request a budget report and a brief narrative report. On a quarterly basis, until the project is completed and the contract is terminated, Gila County is required to submit to CESTB, a budget report and a narrative report, which shall include budget expenditures, in-kind expenditures and a narrative detailing how grant funds were used to achieve project objectives to date, as outlined by the grantee in the grant application. This grant does not require in-kind expenditures. The grant award will be disbursed as reimbursement for expenses incurred in the completion of the project. |
