The City Council approved our application to the 2013 COPS Hiring Program at their regularly scheduled meeting on May 21, 2013. Funding is based on 75% of our current entry-level salaries and benefits for sworn officer positions plus annual step increases per our current pay plan policy. Any additional costs for positions hired under the CHP grant beyond salaries and benefits must be paid for by local match. Also, at the conclusion of the three year federal funding, grantees must retain all sworn officer positions awarded under the CHP grant for an additional budget cycle. The Fayetteville Police Department will utilize the CHP grant funding to hire three (3) currently frozen police officer positions. These officers will be used to expand our School Resource Officer (SRO) program. Fayetteville Public Schools has previously requested additional SROs for their junior high and middle schools, but our staffing and budget levels have not allowed for these positions. Fayetteville Public Schools has agreed to pay their proportionate share of the projected $348,494 local match. Of the $348,494 local match, $127,926 is the required 25% local match of the CHP grant documents, $186,766 is the amount to pay each officer for the required additional budget cycle at the conclusion of the grant funding, and $33,802 is the overall costs of certifying, training, and equipping three officers for a four year period. The attached spreadsheet shows the total projected cost for three new officers throughout the four (4) year grant period and the sources of funding needed to meet the local match requirements of this grant. The City's projected portion of the local match requirements will be $109,910 with Fayetteville Public Schools cost share portion being $238,584. The projected cost share proportions of the local match requirements could fluctuate slightly based on the timing of SRO work assignments and future departmental staffing levels. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the 2013 COPS Hiring Program grant award and budget adjustment to fund three (3) police officers to be assigned to the Fayetteville Public Schools for a period of up to four (4) years for a total project amount of $723,494. COPS Hiring Grant will fund $375,000 while Local Match THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS requirements will be $348,494. Local match requirements will be split proportionately between the Fayetteville Public Schools paying $238,584 and City of Fayetteville paying approximately $109,910. BUDGET IMPACT: Total projected costs are $723,494 with the following contributors: COPS Hiring Grant (Federal) - $375,000; Fayetteville Public Schools (Local Match) - $238,584; and City of Fayetteville (Local Match) - $109,910. The projected cost share proportions of the local match requirements could fluctuate slightly based on the timing of SRO work assignments and future departmental staffing levels.

False statements or claims made in connection with COPS grants may result in fines, imprisonment, debarment from participating in federal grants or contracts, and/or any remedy available by law to the Federal Government. ADVANCING PUBLIC SAFETY THROUGH COMMUNITY POLICING U. S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services 2013 COPS Hiring Program Grant Terms and Conditions By signing the Award Document to accept this COPS Hiring Program (CHP) grant, the grantee agrees to abide by the following grant terms and conditions: 1. Grant Owner's Manual. The grantee agrees to comply with the terms and conditions in the 2013 COPS Hiring Program Grant Owner's Manual; COPS statute (42 U.S.C. §. 3796dd, et seq.); 28 C.F.R. Part 66 or 28 C.F.R. Part 70 as applicable (governing administrative requirements for grants and cooperative agreements); 2 CT R Part 225 (OMB Circular A-87), 2 C.F.R. Part 220 (OMB Circular A-21), 2 C.F.R. Part 230 (OMB Circular A-122), and 48 C.F.R. Part 31.000 et seq. (FAR 31.2) as applicable (governing cost principles); OMB Circular A-133 (governing audits); representations made in the CHP grant application; and all other applicable program requirements, laws, orders, regulations, or circulars. 2. Assurances and Certifications. The grantee acknowledges its agreement to comply with the Assurances and Certifications forms that were signed as part of its CHP application. 3. Allowable Costs. The funding under this project is for the payment of approved full-time entry-level salaries and fringe benefits over three years (for a total of 36 months of funding), up to a maximum federal share of $125,000 per officer position for career law enforcement officer positions hired and/or rehired on or after the official grant award start date. Any salary and fringe benefit costs higher than entry-level that your agency pays a CHP-funded officer must be paid with local funds. Your agency is required to use CHP grant funds for the specific hiring categories awarded. Funding under this program may be used for the following categories: a. Hiring new officers, which includes filling existing officer vacancies that are no longer funded in your agency's budget; b. Rehiring officers laid off by any jurisdiction as a result of state, local, or Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) budget cuts; and/or c. Rehiring officers who were, at the time of grant application, scheduled to be laid off (by your jurisdiction) on a specific future date as a result of state, local, or BIA budget cuts. If your agency's local fiscal conditions have changed and your agency needs to change one or more of the funded hiring categories, your agency should request a post - award grant modification and receive prior approval before spending CHP funding under the new category. The Financial Clearance Memorandum (FCM), included in your award package, specifies the amount of CHP funds awarded to your agency. You should carefully review your FCM, which contains the final officer salary and fringe benefit categories and amounts for which your agency was approved. Please note that the salary and fringe benefit costs requested in your CHP application may have been adjusted or removed. Your agency may only be reimbursed for the approved cost categories that are documented within the FCM, up to the amounts specified in the FCM. Your agency may not use CHP funds for any costs that are not identified as allowable in the Financial Clearance Memorandum. Only actual allowable costs incurred during the grant award period will be eligible for reimbursement and drawdown. If your agency experiences any cost savings over the course of the grant (for example, your grant application overestimated the total entry-level officer salary and fringe benefits package), your agency may not use that excess funding to extend the length of the grant beyond 36 months. Any funds remaining after your agency has drawn down for the costs of approved salaries and fringe benefits incurred for each awarded position during the 36-month funding period will be deobligated during the closeout process, and should not be spent by your agency. 4. Local Match. Grantees are required to contribute a local match of at least 25 percent towards the total cost of the approved grant project, unless waived in writing by the COPS Office. The local match must be a cash match from funds not previously budgeted for law enforcement purposes and must be paid during the grant award period. The local match contribution must be made on an increasing basis during each year of the three-year grant period, with the federal share decreasing accordingly. 5. Supplementing, Not Supplanting. State, local, or BIA funds budgeted to pay for sworn officer positions irrespective of the receipt of CHP grant funds may not be reallocated to other purposes or refunded as a result of a CHP grant being awarded. Non-federal funds must remain available for and devoted to that purpose, with CHP funds supplementing those non-federal funds. Funding awarded cannot be obligated until after the grant award start date. This means that CHP funds cannot be applied to any agency cost or obligation incurred prior to the award start date. In addition, your agency must take active and timely steps pursuant to its standard procedures to fully fund law enforcement costs already budgeted as well as fill all locally -funded vacancies resulting from attrition during the life of the grant. 6. Retention. At the time of grant application, your agency committed to retaining all sworn officer positions awarded under the CHP grant with state and/or local funds for a minimum of 12 months following the conclusion of 36 months of federal funding for each position, over and above the number of locally -funded sworn officer positions that would have existed in the absence of the grant. Your agency cannot satisfy the retention requirement by using CHP-funded positions to fill locally -funded vacancies resulting from attrition. 7. Extensions. Your agency may request an extension of the grant award period to receive additional time to implement your grant program. Such extensions do not provide additional funding. Grants may be extended a maximum of 36 months beyond the initial award expiration date. Any request for an extension beyond 36 months will be evaluated on a case -by -case basis. Only those grantees that can provide a reasonable justification for delays will be granted no -cost extensions. Reasonable justifications may include difficulties in filling COPS -funded positions, officer turnover, or other circumstances that interrupt the 36-month grant funding period. An extension allows your agency to compensate for such delays by providing additional time to complete the full 36 months of funding for each position awarded. Extension requests must be received prior to the end date of the award. 8. Modifications. During the CHP grant award period, it may become necessary for an agency to modify its CHP grant award due to changes in an agency's fiscal or law enforcement situation. Modification requests should be submitted to the COPS Office when an agency determines that it will need to shift officer positions awarded in one hiring category into a different hiring category, reduce the total number of positions awarded, shift funds among benefit categories, and/or reduce the entry-level salary and fringe benefit amounts. For example, an agency may have been awarded CHP grant funding for ten new, additional full-time sworn officer positions, but due to severe fiscal distress/constraints, the agency determines it is unable to sustain all ten positions and must reduce its request to five full-time positions; or an agency may have been awarded CHP grant funding for two new, additional sworn officer positions, but due to fiscal distress/constraints the agency needs to change the hiring category from the new lure category to the rehire category for officers laid off or scheduled for lay-off on a specific future date post - Pagel of 4 U. S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services 2013 COPS Hiring Program Grant Terms and Conditions application. Grant modifications under CHP are evaluated on a case -by -case basis. The COPS Office will only consider a modification request after an agency makes final, approved budget and/or personnel decisions. An agency may implement the modified grant award following written approval from the COPS Office. Please be aware that the COPS Office will not approve any modification request that results in an increase of federal funds. 9. Evaluations. The COPS Office may conduct monitoring or sponsor national evaluations of the COPS Hiring Program. The grantee agrees to cooperate with the monitors and evaluators. 10. Reports. To assist the COPS Office in the monitoring of your award, your agency will be responsible for submitting quarterly programmatic progress reports and quarterly Federal Financial Reports using Standard Form 425 (SF-425). 11. Federal Civil Rights Laws. As a condition of receipt of federal financial assistance, you acknowledge and agree that you will not (and will require any subgrantees, contractors, successors, transferees, and assignees not to), on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin (which includes providing limited -English proficient persons meaningful access to your programs), sex, disability or age, unlawfully exclude any person from participation in, deny the benefits of, or employment to any person, or subject any person to discrimination in connection with any programs or activities funded in whole or in part with federal funds. These civil rights requirements are found in the non-discrimination provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. § 2000d); the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended (42 U.S.C. § 3789d); Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. § 794); the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C. §6101, et seq.); Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.); and the corresponding DOJ regulations implementing those statutes at 28 C.F.R. Part 42 (subparts C, D, E, G, and I). You also agree to comply with Executive Order 13279 Equal Treatment for Faith -Based Organizations and its implementing regulations at 28 C.F.R Part 38, which requires equal treatment of religious organizations in the funding process and non-discrimination of beneficiaries by Faith -Based Organizations on the basis of belief or non -belief. 12. Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP). All recipients of funding from the COPS Office must comply with the federal regulations pertaining to the development and implementation of an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (28 C.F.R. Part 42 subpart E). 13. Grant Monitoring Activities. Federal law requires that law enforcement agencies receiving federal funding from the COPS Office must be monitored to ensure compliance with their grant conditions and other applicable statutory regulations. The COPS Office is also interested in tracking the progress of our programs and the advancement of community policing. Both aspects of grant implementation —compliance and programmatic benefits —are part of the monitoring process coordinated by the U.S. Department of Justice. Grant monitoring activities conducted by the COPS Office include site visits, office -based grant reviews, alleged noncompliance reviews, financial and programmatic reporting, and audit resolution. As a CHP grantee, you agree to cooperate with and respond to any requests for information pertaining to your grant. 14. Employment Eligibility. The grantee agrees to complete and keep on file, as appropriate, a Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9). This form is to be used by recipients of federal funds to verify that persons are eligible to work in the United States. 15. Community Policing. Community policing activities to be initiated or enhanced by your agency were identified and described in your CHP grant application. Your agency developed a community policing plan for the CHP grant with specific reference to a crime or disorder problem and the following elements of community policing: a) problem solving —your agency's plan to assess and respond to the problem identified; b) community partnerships and support, including related governmental and community initiatives that complement your agency's proposed use of CHP funding; and c) organizational transformation —how your agency will use the funds to reorient its mission to community policing or enhance its involvement in and commitment to community policing. The COPS Office defines community policing as a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies, which support the systematic use of partnerships and problem - solving techniques, to proactively address the irrunediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime. CHP grants' must be used to initiate or enhance community policing activities. All newly hired, additional or rehired officers (or an equal number of redeployed veteran officers) funded under CHP must implement your agency's approved community policing plan, which you described in your grant application. 16. Community Policing Self Assessment Tool (CP-SAT). The COPS Office will require your agency to complete the Community Policing Self Assessment Tool (CP-SAT) twice within the grant period, at the beginning and again towards the end of your grant period. 17. Contracts With Other Jurisdictions. Grantees that provide law enforcement services to another jurisdiction through a contract must ensure that officers funded under this grant do not service the other jurisdiction, but will only be involved in activities or perform services that exclusively benefit the grantee's own jurisdiction. 18. False Statements. False statements or claims made in connection with COPS grants may result in fines, imprisonment, or debarment fi-om participating in federal grants or contracts, and/or any other remedy available by law. 19. Additional High -Risk Grantee Requirements. The recipient agrees to comply with any additional requirements that may be imposed during the giant performance period if the awarding agency determines that the recipient is a high -risk grantee (28 C.F.R. Parts 66 and 70). 20. System for Award Management (SAM) and Universal Identifier Requirements. The Office of Management and Budget requires federal agencies to include the following standard award tern in all grants and cooperative agreements made on or after October 1, 2010: A.
