SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve and authorize the District Attorney to submit an application and execute a grant award
agreement, and any extensions or amendments thereto, with the State Office of Criminal Justice
Planning for funding of a Regional Anti-Drug Program in the amount of$ 570,673 for the period

II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
NONE. In the prior three year finding cycle, the State permitted separate submission of grant

single application and be submitted under the authority of one department. Therefore, the District
is submitting a unified application for all three participating agencies. The 1997/98 amounts for each
agency are, as follows: District Attorney -- $ 212,861, Sheriff-Coroner--$ 177,194, and County
Probation--$ 180,618. The funds will be used by the District Attorney to fund two experienced
attorneys and a part time clerk; by the Sheriff's Office to fund one toxicologist, one toxicologist aide,
and one clerk; and by Probation to fund two probation officers, one probation aide, and 25% FTE of a
supervising probation officer. Expenditures and revenue are built into the 1997/98 budgets of the
respective agencies to implement the grant award. Supplantation is prohibited.
