SUBJECT: Approval for Submission and Execution of an Agreement with the State of
California Department of Justice for Funding of the Spousal Abuser Prosecution
Program for the Period July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2002
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the District Attorney to submit an application and execute a grant award contract, and any
extensions or amendments thereto, pursuant to State guidelines,with the California State Department
of Justice for the funding of the Spousal Abuser Prosecution Program(SAPP) in the amount of
$ 120,000 for the period July 1,2001 through June 30,2002 (State funds--budgeted)
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
The grant award contract funds the salary and benefits of an attorney for domestic violence
prosecution. Expenditures and revenues have already been built into the District Attorney's
2001/2002 budget for this purpose. Supplantation is prohibited.
Required in-kind match of$24,000 is being provided by the District Attorney through part-time
investigative support devoted to project activities.
111. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
In September 1994,Assembly Bill 801 was enacted which established the Spousal Abuser Vertical
Prosecution Program. State funds are provided to allow trained attorneys to work closely with
appropriate community support groups to ensure enhanced prosecution of perpetrators of spousal
abuse. This project has become the foundation of the District Attorney's domestic violence
prosecution efforts,which, subsequently, was supplemented by funds made available to the
Department from the State COPS program and from the County Board of Supervisors.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to approve this recommendation would result in the loss of State funds available to combat
the problem of spousal abuse in Contra Costa County.
