Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On September 12, 2023, the Board approved the ratification of submission of the 2023-2024 application for DCESP funding. On June 4, 2024, the Board approved the resulting award for 2023-2024 in the amount of $78,000.
Summary of Request:
On July 22, 2024, the application for the 2024-2025 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 review 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 September 11, 2024, 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 with follow-up to the Board during their next available meeting.
