Explanation of Need for Federal Assistance <br />All applicants are required to address the need for federal assistance. In the space below, please <br />provide a brief explanation of your agency's inability to address your public safety needs and <br />implement this project without federal assistance. <br /> <br />[Please limit your response to a maximum of3,000 characters.] <br /> <br />It is a well known fact that the economy has adversely affected the operating budget of most municipalities. The <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach has too faced the same hardships other municipalities are facing. The city has elected to <br />focus the majority of its funds on retaining staff. This limiting of expenditures has decreased the city's ability to <br />purchase the aforementioned items. The federal assistance offered with this grant will allow the city to supplement <br />funds that would be necessary to address our public safety needs. These supplemented funds will be utilized to <br />purachse the items that have been proposed. <br />
