Director of Public Safety
RE: Memorandum of Understanding – Justice Assistance Grant
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Director of Public Safety requests that the Commission authorize the Director and the
City Manager to enter into an agreement with the City of Muskegon Heights and Muskegon
County in regards to the disbursement of the FY 2013 Justice Assistance Grant. It if further
requested that the Mayor be authorized to sign the Memorandum of Understanding. Note that
time is of the essence as this grant requires a 30 day governing body review period before the
grant submission and the grant deadline is July 9.
Although the Bureau of Justice Assistance has designated us as being in a disparate funding
situation due to the County providing more than 50% of the jail facilities, our proposal is to
keep the allocations exactly as they initially came down from the BJA which is as follows:
County of Muskegon $ 0; City of Muskegon $ 27,549 and City of Muskegon Heights $
16,346. Note that BJA uses crime data versus population in making these allocation
decisions.
The City of Muskegon portion is planned to be used in continuation of the manner in which
the previous year’s JAG funding was used which is for the prosecution of city ordinance cases
dealing primarily with neighborhood issues. A prosecutor was hired specifically for this under
a previous fiscal year JAG Grant.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this request.

From: Jeffrey A. Lewis
Director of Public Safety
RE: FY2013 PORT SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Director of Public Safety requests that the Commission authorize entering into an
agreement with the County of Muskegon to be part of their larger submission under the
FY2013 Port Security Grant Program Grant Application. Our portion of this submission
would be for the purchase of 60 portable radios to address the issue that the current radios
have reached their end of life and also interoperability issues with being able to communicate
with other agencies especially in the event of a major event.
Our radio equipment is outdated and needs to be replaced before it places us in a hazardous
situation whereby the officer cannot effectively communicate when they find themselves in a
dangerous situation.
New equipment would allow us to access the TAC frequencies for communications with other
agencies (county, other municipal departments as well as port authority personnel)
Communications between the agencies is going to be critical in the event of an emergency
situation.
We are also in a position currently where if we have a major event where we had to call
everyone on duty we would not have sufficient working radios at the present time.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total cost of the project would be approximately $ 105,000. The grant requires a 25%
match which would be a financial impact to the City of Muskegon of approximately $ 27,000.
A portion of which would come from budgeted capital improvement funds and the rest from
