SYNOPSIS:

 

Recommend approval of Amendment No. 4 to the original grant agreement which changes the performance period of the FY2006-LEIN5-05 Grant.  The approved performance period was from August 31, 2006 through May 31, 2009 and now has a new end date of August 31, 2009.  There are no other changes to the grant other than the performance period end date.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

 

The grant award is administered by the City of Des Moines for the 20-county area referred to as Law Enforcement Intelligence Network (LEIN) Region 5.  The Des Moines Police Department was selected as one of six lead agencies throughout the State of Iowa to administer Federal Homeland Security Funds through LETPP.  This is a continuation of a collaborative effort coordinated with other local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to share and analyze terrorism related intelligence data.
