Alignment with Strategic Plan: Safe and Healthy Communities - Advance public safety by strengthening partnerships across law enforcement, emergency response, and community stakeholders.
Background and Discussion: The Sheriff’s Office applied to and received a Law Enforcement Assistance Fund (LEAF) Grant. In its original application, it did not include any assets, FTEs or matching funds, which fell into the signature authority of the Sheriff and did not require Board approval. However, once the grant was received, it was updated to include the purchase of a roadster pedal kart as part of a driver safety and education program. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office routinely attends and holds educational events around the County to include visits to schools promoting driver safety and DUI education to students and citizens. The Roadster Kart comes with all safety equipment and educational material for the Sheriff’s Office to use while providing valuable information and resources to its citizens regarding driver safety.
This kart was approved through the LEAF grant for purchase in the amount of $6.043.56. In order to make this purchase, the Sheriff’s Office must have a fixed asset number. There are no yearly fees or costs associated with this purchase. Only a Fixed Asset Number is being requested.
Alternatives: Currently there are no alternatives. Without the FAN, the Sheriff’s Office will not be able to purchase the equipment approved under the state grant.
Fiscal Impact: There is no cost to the County. All purchases will be reimbursed by the state under the already approved grant.
Alignment with Strategic Implementation Strategies: N/A
Staff Recommendation: The Sheriff’s Office Public Safety and Administration Bureaus recommend in issuing a fixed asset number for this item.
