FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Subvention Program projects recommended above support effective County justice system
and related projects, including programs mandated by State law. Without these State funds,
there would be an increased use of County General Funds.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On April 30, 1985, your Board held a public hearing on the April 23, 1985 report of,.the
County Justice System Subvention Program Advisory Group recommending 1985/86 funding.
Your Board referred that report to this Office for review and recommendation. This
Office has reviewed that report. We support the decision of the Advisory Group to consider
only continuing projects in 1985/86 and we believe that the projects submitted for approval
are effective projects worthy of continued funding. Without these State funds, many of
these projects would require a greater infusion of County dollars. Programs such as the
