From the meeting
The council approved the 2026 Bureau of Justice Assistance Ballistic Vest Partnership (BJA BVP) grant for police body armor. Chief of Police Michael R Ward said the grant covers partial costs for newly hired officers and sworn officers on a five-year rotation, and the city uses threat level IIIA vests. The grant amount was $9,080.
This is a small but concrete recurring police equipment funding signal.

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.
