| Request/Subject |
| FY 2020 Drug, Gang, and Violent Crime Control Grant Application. |
| Background Information |
| On February 28, 2019, the Gila County Sheriff's Office electronically submitted the FY 2020 Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) Drug, Gang, and Violent Crimes Grant Application in the amount of $821,714. The grant application had to be submitted online no later than March 1, 2019. |
| Evaluation |
| The ultimate initiative of the Gila County Drug, Gang and Violent Crimes Task Force is to protect life, property and the rights of individuals, so it is imperative that the Sheriff's Office continue to submit grant applications to the ACJC to obtain continued grant funding for its Task Force. The source of the matching funds that are required will come from the County's General Fund. The deadline to electronically submit the grant application was March 1, 2019. The Sheriff's Office completed the grant application on February 28, 2019; therefore, there wasn't sufficient time to present the application to the Board of Supervisors for approval before the application deadline. |
| Conclusion |
| On February 28, 2019, the Gila County Sheriff's Office electronically submitted the FY 2020 ACJC Drug, Gang and Violent Crime Control Grant Application in the amount of $821,714 for a performance period of July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020, to provide salaries and employment related expenses for the Task Force. Per County process, the Sheriff's Office is requesting the Board of Supervisors' authorization for its submittal of the grant application. |
| Recommendation |
| Gila County Sheriff J. Adam Shepherd recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the electronic submission of a grant application for the FY20 20 Arizona Criminal Justice Commission Drug, Gang and Violent Crime Control Grant Application in the amount of $821,714 for a performance period of July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020, to provide salaries and employment related expenses for the Task Force. |
| Suggested Motion |
| Information/Discussion/Action to authorize the Sheriff's Office electronic submission of a FY 2020 Drug, Gang and Violent Crime Control Grant Application in the amount $821,714 (25% match requirement) submitted to the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission to renew grant funding that will be used for the salaries and benefits of the Gila County Sheriff's Office Drug, Gang, and Violent Crimes Task Force.
