Discussion and possible action to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the FY 2023 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (“JAG”) funded by the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) between Webb County for the benefit of the Webb County Sheriff’s Office and the City of Laredo acting on behalf of the Laredo Police Department, which will support equipment, training/travel, and supplies for law enforcement operational purposes. The proposed amount Webb County Sheriff’s Office will receive is Thirty-Four Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-Three Dollars ($34,693.00). There are no matching funds required and therefore there will be no impact to the general fund; authorizing the County Judge to execute all relevant documents and any other matters incident thereto. [Requested by Sheriff Martin Cuellar; JAG Grant Funds]
