Background and Rationale
body
On November 10, 2009, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners accepted the agreement and sub-grant agreement and authorized the County Manager to execute future agreements and sub- grant agreements for hours worked for scheduled traffic safety issues related to impaired driving, occupant protection, speed, and distracted driving (Resolution 2009-387). Since that time, an annual agreement has been executed under this resolution by the County Manager.
This agreement allows the Sheriff’s Office to work with city of Saint Paul Police Department and seven other local law enforcement agencies to prevent injuries, deaths, and property damage from crashes and unsafe driving. The city of Saint Paul Police Department is the grantee of the grant agreement and will reimburse the Sheriff’s Office for hours worked to provide services under this agreement.
This request also aligns with the County Manager’s efforts to transition all grant agreement acceptance to a period of no longer than five years. This transition will provide for increased transparency, enhanced awareness of grants received by the county, and an opportunity to highlight the work of county employees in securing grant funding.
