DISCUSSION:
This grant award allows for reimbursement up to $258,461.25 and may be used to reimburse procurements and personnel costs incurred through June 30, 2024.
Expenditures under this grant followed the city's procurement requirements as well as the requirements set by the Illinois State Police (ISP) NG911 Expenses Grant Program and all applicable state or federal regulations and have previously been submitted to Council via PSAP remodel resolutions.
