Information

Request/Subject

Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety FFY 2021 Speed Enforcement Vehicle Grant Application.

Background Information

The Gila County Sheriff's Office is working with limited resources and budget constraints. In order for the Sheriff's Office to have an unmarked speed enforcement vehicle, grant funding is needed. Due to the short notice to submit a grant application, the Gila County Sheriff's Office electronically submitted the FFY (federal fiscal year) 2021 GOHS (Governor's Office of Highway Safety) Speed Enforcement Vehicle Grant Application on March 10, 2020.

Evaluation

If a grant is awarded to the Gila County Sheriff's Office, the funding will be utilized for a 2020 Expedition full size SUV with a 3.5L ECO V6 engine and 10 speed automatic transmission or equivalent vehicle to enhance the speed and DUI/impaired driving enforcement throughout Gila County.

Conclusion

The Gila County Sheriff's Office is requesting assistance from the GOHS Police Traffic Services (PTS) funding in the amount of $61,085 to enhance speed and DUI/impaired driving enforcement throughout Gila County.

Recommendation

Gila County Sheriff J. Adam Shepherd recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the electronic submission of a grant application to the Governor's Office of Highway Safety on March 10, 2020, in the amount of $61,085 for a performance period of October 1, 2020, through September 30, 2021.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to authorize the Sheriff's Office electronic submission of a FFY 2021 Speed Enforcement Vehicle Grant Application in the amount $61,085 submitted to the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety. (Mike Johnson)
