Police & Community SafetyContracts

In Plain English

The city wants blanket permission to apply for federal maritime grants without seeking approval each time. These grants fund port improvements, shipyard development, and waterway projects. If approved, staff can pursue any eligible Maritime Administration funding for the next 5 years and accept awards directly into the city budget.
