ST'4 CO- _ 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, 2007 through
June 30, 2008 in the Amount of$329,254
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
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$329,254 for the period July 1, 2007 through
June 30, 2008 (100% Federal Funds Budgeted).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
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. Of the$329,254 available under this program,$132,384 has been allocated for use by the District Attorney's
Office toward funding one experienced attorney; $96,722 has been allocated for use by the Sheriff's Office
toxicology staff; and$100,148 has been allocated to the Probation Department toward funding one deputy probation
officer. Expenditures and revenue are built into the 2007/08 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 actions for damages, Supplantation is
prohibited.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
The Regional Anti-Drug Program has three components operated by the District Attorney, Sheriff-Coroner, and
County Probation Office,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
the past the District Attorney is submitting a unified grant application for all three. 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 meth oper do s.
