Summary of Request:
On July 15, 2021, the application for the 2021-22 DCESP funding was released with a due date of August 13, 2021. The County of Mendocino Marijuana Enforcement Team (COMMET) assists the DEA with locating and eradicating illicit cannabis plants on Federal land. The DCESP grant 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 in the application process. The DEA will notify applicants at a later date. Once they announce Mendocino County’s award, a request to approve acceptance of the funding will be brought to the Board of Supervisors.
On August 10, 2021, 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 follow up to the Board of Supervisors at their next available meeting.
