Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to a STOP Fatality Review Technical Assistance Grant from the Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration to the Metropolitan Government, acting by and through the Office of Family Safety. The original grant was approved by RS2020-397, which was a grant of $300,000 with no local cash match to promote a coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to improving the criminal justice system’s response to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking crimes. This amendment shifts funding from local travel, due to COVID-19, to professional fees, conferences/trainings, and supplies. The amendment further adds provisions governing the execution of counterparts to the agreement and prohibits certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment pursuant to federal law.
