Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On September 13, 2022, the Board approved the ratification of submission of the 2022-2023 application for DCESP funding.
Summary of Request:
On July 24, 2023, the application for the 2023-2024 DCESP funding was released by the DOJ DEA. The County of Mendocino Marijuana Enforcement Team (COMMET) assists the DEA with locating and eradicating illicit cannabis plants on Federal land. The DCESP funds are used to defray the costs of those operations. The grant award will fund overtime costs, training, travel, equipment and other expenses related to DCESP. The exact funding amount will be determined during the application process. The DEA will notify applicants of the results at which time a request to approve acceptance of the funding will be brought to the Board of Supervisors.
On August 22, 2023, a letter requesting approval to submit the grant application was sent to, and approved by the CEO as per County Policy 25, Section One, Item No. 4 to seek approval with follow-up to the Board during their next available meeting.
