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 Department of Justice for funding of
the Spousal Abuser Prosecution Program (SAPP) in the amount of$122,496 for the period July 1, 2007 through
June 30, 2008 ($102,080 State funds-budgeted; $20,416 in-kind match).
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 2007/08. 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.
