Kochi District Attorne 06, DATE: June 10, 2005 rA_co'uK_ County SUBJECT: Approval to Submit and Execute a Grant Award Agreement with the State Office of Emergency Services for Funding of the Regional Anti-Drug Program for the Period July 1,2005 through June 30, 2006 in the Amount of$499,713 SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve and authorize the District Attorney to submit an application and execute a grant award agreement, and any extensions or amendments thereof, pursuant to State guidelines, with the State Office of Emergency Services for funding of the Regional Anti-Drug Program in the amount of$ 499,713 for the period July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006 (100% federal funds-budgeted). FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. The Regional Anti-Drug Program has three components operated by the District Attorney, Sheriff- Coroner, and County Probation Officer, respectively, and has been in effect since fiscal year 1995/96. As in prior funding cycles, the State is requiring that a single application be submitted under the authority of one department. Therefore, as in past, the District Attorney is submitting a unified application for all three participating agencies. Pursuant to State guidelines, the Program is governed by a Steering Committee, including the District Attorney, Sheriff-Coroner, County Probation Officer, and the County Drug Administrator, which approves distribution of the funds. Grant funds are used by the District Attorney to fund two experienced attorneys; by the Sheriffs Office to fund one toxicologist, one toxicologist aide and one clerk; and by Probation to fund two deputy probation officers. Expenditures and revenue are built into the 2005/06 budget submissions for the respective agencies to implement their portion of the grant award. Grant conditions require that the County accept responsibility for any liability arising out of the performance of the grant award, including civil court action for damages. Supplantation is prohibited. 4xtk."

All three program components will be concentrating on a prioritized and integrated drug enforcement effort coordinated through the State-led Narcotics Enforcement Teams operating in the County. Grant activities focus on middle- and high-level narcotic dealers and manufacturers, violent and repeat offenders, and drug trafficking gangs and organizations, to interdict the importation, manufacture and distribution systems which have, in recent years, become more sophisticated in their methods of operation. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Failure to approve the recommendation will result in the loss of$ 499,713 in federal funds available to combat the drug problem in Contra Costa County. �/V>111 i1 K111 V� 1/ /1♦i I SIV i/�t✓wa_iaa� -_ __ Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families in the amount of $160,644 for Head Start Program Supplemental funding for calendar year 2005.
