FINANCIAL IMPACT: The grant application funds salary costs for domestic violence prosecution. Costs and revenue for this program are included in the District Attorney's Recommended Budget for 2006/07. Supplantation is prohibited. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND: In September 1994, Assembly Bill 801 was enacted which established the Spousal Abuser Vertical Prosecution Program. Under this 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 became the foundation of the District Attorney's domestic violence prosecution efforts, which subsequently was supplemented by funds made available from the Department of the State of Justice and from the County Board of Supervisors. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Failure to approve the recommendation will result in the loss of State funds available to combat the problem of spousal abuse in Contra Costa County.
