SUBJECT: FY 1996-97 VICTIM/WITNESS PROGRAM GRANT APPLICATION
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
ADOPT resolution authorizing the County Probation Officer to submit an application for
federal and state funds in the amount of $299,040 for a Victim/Witness Assistance Center
and execute related contracts.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The federal portion of this grant requires a 20% cash match. However, the grant rules
stipulate that the state portion of the grant can be matched against the federal portion,
satisfying the cash match requirement. Therefore, the grant requires no County funding.
BACKGROUND:
The Probation Department's Victim/Witness Program cooperates with other community
public and private agencies to help meet the financial, emotional, social and informational
needs of victims of crime. The Program is part of a statewide effort funded by the Office
of Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP) with fines and penalty assessments collected from
convicted offenders. Victim/Witness Program staff also work with law enforcement and
Court staff to encourage them to be cognizant of the needs of victims and witnesses during
the complex and often lengthy judicial process.
The grant funds available for this County for FY 1996-97 in the amount of $299,040 are
approximately $65,000 higher than in the previous fiscal year. If grant funds are approved
at this higher level, the Probation Department will likely return to the Board with requests
to enhance the current program level.
