During June Crimeline will conduct a billboard initiative concerning violent in in the service area. The OAG is acknowledged on all billboards.

In order to maximize the use of funding an advertising campaign is utilized on tip rich radio stations. Crimeline will continue to utilize the top rated radio stations in Central Florida, reaching the highest number of listeners between the ages of 18-45.

The purchase of signs is to provide them to law enforcement agencies, commercial and residential communities in the service area.

The signs will include the OAG acknowledgement. The estimated cost from vendors of the 12 x18 aluminum signs is $5.78 each. We would like to move $2456.50 from line item #1 to line item# 20. (425 signs @$5.78each = $2456.50) =$2456.00. 6. The purchase of allowable promotional items allows Crimeline and SpeakOut to give citizens items promoting the program's anonymous tip line and websites.

The cost determination was based on quotes from a vendor and estimates from online. None of Crimeline's laptops are working, laptops are used for community presentations and during meeting away from the office. The purchase of a new laptop would provide the latest technology available which would allow easy use. We would like to move $600 from line item #54 to line item #56 to purchase a laptop. (estimated cost new laptop $600) =$600 11. During the current grant year Crimeline did not utilize all of the budgeted salary for three Communication Coordinators employees. This was due to two (2) of our Communication Coordinators working less hours than we expected and one of the Communication Coordinators leaving our employment during the year. The original budget for the current grant did not cover the salary and benefits of the Executive Director for 12 months due to the restriction of 30% of the total grant being utilized for salary costs. We request permission to move unused employee salaries to the line item of the Executive Director. This will not increase the percentage of salary for the entire grant year it will simply permit us to use cover allowable salary and benefits of the Executive Director. We request permission to move $12,989.19 from line items #89, #91, #92 into line item #94. 89 - Comm. Coordinator $3000.00 94 - Executive Director 91 - Comm. Coordinator $4750.00 94 - Executive Director 92 - Comm. Coordinator $5239.19 94 - Executive Director In our original grant application we clearly stated our expected employee's salaries would not be fully covered by the grant due to the 30% restriction. The estimated costs per employee were determined as follows - all communication coordinators' salary were covered 100%, the executive director salary was determined using what was left after covering 100% of expected coordinator costs. We have been requesting reimbursement for a portion of the executive director's salary. By moving the requested salary to the executive director line we will be able to request reimbursement for all 12 months of the grant year. This is not an increase in pay for the executive director it allows our program to cover the previously uncovered portion of the executive director's salary. The monthly cost of executive director position being requested is $6,279.58 x 12 = $75,354.96. |
