<br />CASSCOUNlY <br />GOVERNMENT <br />-'- <br /> <br />Office of the Sheriff <br /> <br />Paul D. Laney, Sheriff <br /> <br />June 22, 2007 <br /> <br />Robyn Sorum, Portfolio Commissioner <br />Cass County Commission <br />Cass County Courthouse <br />Fargo, ND 58103 <br /> <br />RECEIVED <br />JUN 25 20011 <br /> <br />CASS COUNTY COMMISSION <br /> <br />Action Requested: Consent Agenda <br /> <br />Commissioner Sorum: <br /> <br />The City of Fargo is making application for a $3 million COPS Technology Grant to upgrade our RRRDC <br />Computer Aided Dispatch/Record Management System CAD/RMS over the next two to three years. <br />Although this will update and significantly enhance our CAD/RMS to include a new jail software module; <br />it does not address a more critical issue. Our current Mobile Data Computer (MDC) system was <br />implemented in 1996 and is not currently meeting the ever expanding needs of our communities. This <br />MDC system is shared by the Fargo Police Department, Moorhead Police Department, West Fargo Police <br />Department, Clay County Sheriffs Office and our Office. It is important that we pursue means to upgrade <br />this system and so our office is applying for a Byrne Discretionary Grant in the amount of $500,000. Any <br />match that might be required would be shared by all the participating agencies in the RRRDC. The <br />Moorhead Police Department is also applying for a similar grant to increase our odds of receiving some of <br />these federal grant funds and hopefully both our applications will be funded. <br /> <br />I would ask that the Grant Authorization be placed on your regular consent agenda for July 2,2007. <br /> <br />Sample Motions: <br /> <br />Move to approve the electronic applicationfor the 2007 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Discretionary Grant} on <br />behalf of Cass County. Authorize Glenn El/ingsberg, Sheriff's Office to act as our Authorized Organization <br />Representative (AOR) and to file any electronic filings which may be required for the grant application and during the <br />grant period on our behalf. <br /> <br />Respectfull : < S <br /> <br />~ <br />Major Glenn D.
