Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes the Chief of Police to accept a public safety pass-through grant from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for speed enforcement and extends a Wisconsin Department of Justice Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) grant through 2020 and amends the budgets accordingly.
The speed enforcement grant is a pass-through grant via the Dane County Sheriff’s Office and the City’s share is $65,000 over the period of October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020. Required matching funds of $16,150 (25%) will be met through regular deployments of the department’s traffic safety enforcement team.
In 2016, the City received a Wisconsin Department of Justice (WDOJ) ICAC Task Force grant which was extended in 2017. WDOJ received another grant extension from the U.S. Department of Justice through 2020 and will continue to provide reimbursement to the Police Department for overtime which is directly related to ICAC enforcement activities and operations. The additional amount anticipated in 2020 from the extension is $7,800. There is no matching requirement with this grant.
