 Welcome everybody, this is January 11th license hearing and public safety committee agenda meeting. I'm going to call this to order roll call all the person Feldy I'm here all the person actually is excused all the person Decker here all the person Heidemann here all the person Salazar here. Okay, stand if you're able for the Pledge of Allegiance, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Um, I think we pretty much went through who all of us are by roll call, but we do have one guest and one staff member to staff members. Okay, Chuck, do you want to check out? I'm city attorney. This is our budget sergeant for the shabuaga police department, Kathy Hoffman city attorney's office. All right. Approval of minutes from December 14, 2022. Second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed nay chair votes aye. Motion carries. Resolution number one, one, nine, 22, 23, one, four, 23 resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to accept the and expend funds received from the Wisconsin Department of Justice as part of the Brian Memorial Justice Assistant brand J. A. G. Program. Take it away. All right. Thanks guys for coming together for this. All right. The J grant as we'll call it helps supplement and offset the cost for the shabuaga county multi jurisdictional enforcement group. And the shabuaga county mega unit is the primary drug task force for shabuaga county. We are a multi jurisdictional task force. So we have shabuaga police department where I'm from shabuaga sheriff's permit shabuaga falls and Plymouth police department as well. So the primary purpose of the drug unit is not only drug investigations, but also education and prevention as well. And this grant really helps supplement and offset the costs associated with running the multi jurisdictional enforcement group. The grants been awarded to the shabuaga county mega unit for many years now with the past nine years being the same awarded amount of $24,112. The eligible funds consists of a federal grant portion along with a state match and there is no local matching funds required for this grant. The grant is really used like I said to offset the costs. We have a part time secretary who really helps the investigators by entering reports and doing other data information for us. It's also used for overtime costs accrued during drug investigations, sends them to training and also helps offset the cost of general operating items that we have for our office as well. So that kind of summarizes what the grant would be utilized for. I will call on you in a second. I do remember I've been on this committee for as long as I've been on the council and I do remember that we passed this every year. So, Joe. Yeah, I would say we were denied money. When if our portion is 24,000, what's Plymouth, what's shabuaga falls? It's for the whole agency because we're multi jurisdictional. It's for the whole team. It is not separated by different agencies. It's received by the MEG unit, which we operate as a lead seed. The reason I asked is that maybe we apply for this and get this. If the other communities are, do they have enough can eat? They do not. The grant is solely provided to multi jurisdictional teams, which is what all of us together are. And so then we have an MOU that combines all of us as one entity. It's not population based? No. So other jurisdictions get it as well, Manitowoc, Green Bay. And every year there are a lot of amounts remain, however they determine that. So Green Bay gets the same thing we do or they get more? They get more. Size? Is it by size? So size, I think part of it, they also might get more. I don't know exactly how the state decides the allotted amount for each of the jurisdictions. Part of my understanding is because they have a waterway, they also get more federal funding because they have ships that come in as well. So each of like Manitowoc gets a very similar allotted amount to what we have. And then there's other multi jurisdictional teams as well across the state that get them. You never have us. This isn't enough funds actually to do the job. Correct. Right. So how do we supplement anything? I mean, when you're in the middle of the year and you went through your $24,000, you stop investigating. So we have an agreement with the sheriff's department and the city police department, where each of them ultimately at the end of the year split the cost of whatever is over the grant. In addition. Yes. Yep. I think the reason that they bring this grant is to encourage communities to do these multi jurisdictional is because that's the best way to handle somebody. If you've got somebody in the county and they're doing some dealing in Plymouth and they're, you know, it's, it's or or falls or whatever it should bring helps helps to catch these kind of people that are doing these things. So, Amanda, do you have any questions? Right. I need a motion. I'll make a motion to approve this resolution. Second. Any questions or concerns? All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed to make chair votes aye. Motion carries. Number seven next meeting date will be January 25 2023. And I'm open for adjournment. We'll do adjourn second. Okay. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Chair votes aye also. Motion approved.
