The Waterloo City Council Finance Committee approved two budget amendments to accept grant funding and amend project budgets. The committee moved to accept a Safe Neighborhoods grant of $62,536 for the police department and to accept Byron Justice Assistance Grant funds passed through the state of Iowa.
Under the Byron Justice Assistance Grant proposal, the transcript records $212,841.12 to be used by the City of Waterloo and $89,040 to be used by other agencies; the committee adopted the project budget as submitted by the police department. Both budget amendments were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote, with no roll-call tally recorded in the meeting transcript.
The committee did not provide further detail on the specific allowable uses, grant terms, or the identities of the partner agencies receiving the $89,040 in the meeting record.
