Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
July 12, 2016 approval to accept award of the 2016 U.S. DOJ Grant.
Summary of Request:
The U.S. DOJ Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program issues an opportunity to apply for funds each year. The turn-around time between receiving the opportunity to apply and the submission deadline is short and does not give enough time to come before the Board of Supervisors for approval to seek funding. On August 7, 2017, a letter requesting approval to submit the application was sent to the CEO as per County Policy 25, Section One, Number 4 to seek approval with the follow up to the Board of Supervisors at their next available meeting. The CEO approved the request to apply on August 7, 2017. The proposed award for Mendocino County is $22,977. For the past several years, the Sheriff has applied for and received annual JAG awards from the U.S. DOJ. The current allocation is $22,977. The grant funds will be used to replace aged computer and communications equipment that is essential to front line law enforcement and support staff and will allow the Sheriff to avoid degradation of public safety due to inadequate equipment. Approval of this item will commence the 30-day period during which citizens and neighborhood or community organizations will have the opportunity to comment on the award application. Award notification and request to accept funding will be brought to the Board of Supervisors at a future meeting date as per County Policy 25.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternate handling.
