Request from the Sheriffs Department for Permission to Apply for a
$400,000.00 Grant: Chief Deputy Dowdle requested permission to apply for a
$400,000 grant from the Governor's Crime Commission for the purchase of radios in
conjunction with the 800 mhz project. He said the radios were expensive ($2,600
each), and a 25% local match would be needed. Dowdle said the department was
looking at using seized funds for the match. In reference to the proposed 800 mhz
project, Dowdle said he had discussed the types of radios to be purchased with the
Communications Director (David Martin), and they would be compatible. Dowdle said,
however, there might be "some holdover." Chief Dowdle said he planned to apply for
the entire grant of $400,000.00, but it would be splintered out over a two-year period.
