TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute all necessary documents to receive and expend grant funding from the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program; and increase appropriations in the General Grants Fund (SR) and in the Police Department (PD) by $72,424. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
On March 5, 2010, the Long Beach Police Department (PO) was awarded grant funding from the South Coast Air Quality Management District for the FY 2010-11 Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program) in the amount of $72,424. The purpose of the award is to improve air quality through reduced emissions. The funding will be for the purchase and installation of two diesel boat engines that meet or exceed the California Air Resources Board emissions standard, earning us Air Quality credits. The purchase of these cleaner burning engines will replace the current older technology boat engines, which are at the end of their usefulness.
This item was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Gary Anderson on April 1, 2010 and Budget Management Officer Victoria Bell on April 1 ,2010.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is requested on April 20, 2010, in order to meet grant acceptance deadlines.
FISCAL IMPACT
As the Carl Moyer Program is currently unbudgeted, an appropriation increase is included in the recommendation. The expense appropriation will be fully offset by grant revenues and the grant does not require matching funds. There is no impact to the General Fund.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
JIM MCDONNELL
CHIEF OF POLICE
