From the meeting
At its September 22, 2026 meeting, Council approved a supplemental appropriation of remaining 2020 Cops Hiring Program (CHP) grant funds. The package totaled $142,575 and funded contract labor, professional services, education and training, software, and equipment. That mix signals ongoing grant-supported police staffing and support spending rather than a one-time purchase.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
