TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners

DATE: January 27, 1998
SUBJECT: USE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT
STAFF REPORT
ISSUE
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve the use of a Law
Enforcement Block Grant towards the first year's lease of two police patrol vehicles and
the purchase of related equipment.
BACKGROUND
Our department is currently in the process of developing a passive search rescue/drug alert
canine program. This necessitates the addition of one police vehicle outfitted for the
above purposes. In addition, our department would like to add one police vehicle to be
used for routine patrol.
DISCUSSION
In September of 1997, the Ocoee Police Department was awarded $25,937 in grant
money from the U.S. Department of Justice. The grant was awarded to our agency based
on statistics reported in the Uniform Crime Report. The grant allows for the purchase of
police vehicles and equipment. We intend to use these funds as "seed"money for the
initial leasing of two police patrol vehicles and the purchase of the related equipment.
One vehicle would be outfitted for patrol use, while the other vehicle will be equipped for
use by the passive search rescue/drug alert dog team and be a take home car. The goal of
this project is to provide adequate vehicular support for our patrol section and to initiate
vehicular support for our passive alert dog program. The cost for leasing two 1998
Crown Victorias for one year is approximately $18,000. The remaining grant funds
would be used to purchase emergency equipment and required equipment for the passive
search rescue/drug alert dog. Due to the fact that the lease period is three years, the
remaining two years of lease payments would need to be included in upcoming years
budgets.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City
Commissioners approve the use of the Law Enforcement Black Grant towards the
aforementioned project. 1 / //

Dear Local Law Enforcement Block Grantee:
Congratulations on your recent award. Because you have submitted Certified
Assurance that your agency is in compliance with applicable civil rights laws, this
office has determined that you have met this requirement in the Department of Justice
regulations governing recipients of Federal financial assistance (see 28 C.F.R. sec.
42.204, Applicants' obligations). As Director of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR),
Office of Justice Programs, I would like to offer you my assistance in completing the
conditions of these Assurances, specifically Nos. 13, 14, and 15, as the grant goes
forward.
As you know, equal opportunity for the participation of women and minority
individuals in employment and services provided under programs and activities
receiving Federal financial assistance is required by law. Therefore, if there has been a
federal or state court or administrative agency finding of discrimination against your
agency, please forward a copy of such order or consent decree, as required by
Assurance No. 14, to OCR at the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice
Programs, Office for Civil Rights, 810 7th Street,N.W., Washington, D.C. 20531.
(1) If you have already submitted an EEOP as part of another award from the Office of
Justice Programs (OJP) during this grant period, or if you have certified that no EEOP
is required, it is not necessary for you to submit another at this time. Simply send a
copy of the letter you received from OCR showing that your EEOP or certification is
acceptable.
Additional Instructions For Grantees Receiving$500,000 Or More:
In accordance with Assurance No. 15, and as a recipient of$500,000 or more (or
$1,000,000 in an 18-month period), and has 50 or more employees, the recipient must
submit an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) within 60 days from the date
of this letter to OCR at the address cited on page 1.
Alternatively, the grantee may choose to complete an EEOP Short Form, in lieu of
sending its own comprehensive EEOP, and return it to OCR within 60 days of the date
of this letter. This easy-to-follow EEOP Short Form reduces paperwork and
preparation time considerably and will ensure a quicker OCR review and approval.
The enclosed Seven-Step Guide to the Design and Development of an ESOP (which
includes a Certification Form and an EEOP Short Form) will assist you in completing
this requirement.
NOTE: If agency has under 50 employees, regardless of amount of award, no EEOP is
required; however, grantee must return applicable portion of Certification Form to
OCR within 60 days.
PURSUANT TO THE SPECIAL CONDITION REGARDING EEOP'S
GOVERNING THIS AWARD, RECIPIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT FAILURE
TO SUBMIT AN ACCEPTABLE EEOP IS A VIOLATION OF ITS CERTIFIED
ASSURANCES AND MAY RESULT IN SUSPENSION OF DRAWDOWN OF
FUNDS UNTIL EEOP HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE OFFICE FOR CIVIL
RIGHTS.
Additional Instructions For Grantees Receiving$25,000 Or More, But Under
$500,000:
Pursuant to Department of Justice regulations, each grantee that receives $25,000 or
more and has 50 or more employees is required to maintain an Equal Employment
Opportunity Plan (EEOP) on file for review by OCR upon request. Moreover, if the
grantee is awarded$1,000,000 in an eighteen (18) month period, it must submit an
acceptable EEOP to OCR. Please complete the applicable section of the attached
Certification Form and return it to OCR within 60 days of the date of this letter.
NOTE: If agency has under 50 employees, regardless of amount of award, no EEOP is
required; however, grantee must return applicable portion of Certification Form to
OCR within 60 days.
Additional Instructions For Grantees Receiving Under$25,000:
A recipient of under$25,000 is not required to maintain or submit an Equal
Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) in accordance with Assurance No. 15.
