Ratify the submission of the grant application for the 2025-2026 Domestic Cannabis Eradication Suppression Program (DCESP) funding from the Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Agency (DOJ DEA) for the period of October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026.

Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On October 8, 2024, the Board approved the ratification of the 2024-2025 application for DCESP funding. On May 6, 2025, the Board approved the resulting award for 2024-2025 in the amount of $100,000.
Summary of Request:
On July 30, 2025, the application for the 2025-2026 DCESP funding was released by the DOJ DEA with a deadline of September 5, 2025. The County of Mendocino Marijuana Eradication 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.
On August 22, 2025, a letter requesting approval to submit the 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.
