FY 2024-2025 Funding Re-Allocation-The meaning of this category is how the funding is classified. General Fund means ARPA funds will reimburse the general fund during FY 2024-2025. ARPA means the project will be set up directly from the ARPA funds received by the City.  The City may interchange the meaning during fiscal year 2024-2025 based on best practices in consultation with City ARPA consultants, Federal or state regulations.

 

Police Pre-Built Storage Armory

The Police Department is requesting funding for the purchase and installation of a pre-built Amory for the use of ammunition and other material/supplies storage. Currently, there is inadequate storage located at 200 Wintergreen, and the storage space will provide a secure and centralized location for storage. Additionally, a centralized armory allows for better monitoring and control of primarily ammunition stock, and other materials and supplies. The project cost shall include but not limited to consulting, materials, supplies, hardware/software, legal and any other cost related to the project.
