Information
Request/Subject
FY 2021 Drug, Gang, and Violent Crime Control Grant Application.
Background Information
On March 6, 2020, the Gila County Sheriff's Office electronically submitted the FY 2021 Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) Drug, Gang, and Violent Crimes Grant Application in the amount of $900,533. The grant application had to be submitted no later than March 6, 2020.
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 6, 2020. The Sheriff's Office completed the grant application on March 6, 2020; therefore, there wasn't sufficient time to present the application to the Board of Supervisors for approval before the application deadline.
Conclusion
On March 6, 2020, the Gila County Sheriff's Office electronically submitted the FY 2021 ACJC Drug, Gang and Violent Crime Control Grant Application in the amount of $900,533 for a performance period of July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, to provide salaries and employment related expenses for the Task Force. Per County process, the Sheriff's Office is requesting the Board of Supervisors' approval.
Recommendation
Gila County Sheriff J. Adam Shepherd recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the electronic submission of a grant application for the FY2021 Arizona Criminal Justice Commission Drug, Gang and Violent Crime Control Grant Application in the amount of $900,533 which requires a 25% match in funds for a performance period of July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, 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 FY2021 Drug, Gang and Violent Crime Control Grant Application in the amount $900,533 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.
