[Vision2020] Moscow City Council Agenda for Monday

[Tom Hansen]

WHAT??

No proclamation?

As a citizen of Vandalville, I suggest we adopt "Moscow's Municipal
Proclamation Week" to commemorate proclamations past and proclamations yet
to be made.

How 'bout it, Steph?

Maybe we can get this whole dang thing straightened out before you head
off to the Annual City Clerks Gone Wild Free-for-All in Reno.  Remember
now, you promised me a video.

> The Office of Community Oriented Policing Service (COPS Office) has been
> authorized to open the 2010 COPS Hiring Program (CHP) and will award
> $298 million to address the needs for full-time sworn officers in
> enforcement agencies.  The grantees will be COPS Hiring Recovery Program
> (CHRP) applications.  No new applications will be accepted and it is
> anticipated that fewer than 500 awards will be given.  The City of
> Moscow Police Department submitted an application for the 2009 CHRP but
> was not awarded and therefore is eligible to reapply.  Targeted updates
> to the 2009 application will be made so the request can be reevaluated
> based on current data.  Funding for 2010 is different from 2009 in that
> it will allow agencies to hire new officer positions, or to rehire
> officers that have been laid off, or are scheduled to be laid off on a
> future date as a result of state or local budget reductions.  The 2009
> application requested funding for two entry-level police officer
> salaries and fringe benefits for 36 months.  The 2010 application will
> include current staff data, 2007 updated population, and
> previous/current fiscal and updated crime data as well as the changes
> with the University of Idaho contract and the decrease in funding
> levels.  The application is due June 16, 2010.  Reviewed by the
