RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:

SUMMARY:
The Monterey County District Attorney's Office relies on a variety of Federal and State grants to provide a portion of the financial support required by the Department for the services it provides in the County. Funding for VCGCB program is expected to continue for the next 3 fiscal years, FY 2013-16. The Federal and State agencies responsible for these grants require the recipient departments to submit an application to renew funding for the upcoming fiscal year even though there is an established relationship between the County and the funding agency in the current fiscal year. The specific grants and administering Federal and State agencies for which this authorization is being requested is the Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board (VCGCB).
DISCUSSION:
Approval of the recommended action will allow the District Attorney to submit the approved Board Order as verification of Board approval granting authority to sign the grant agreement for renewal of funding for this grant, for the next three fiscal years.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
No other agency is involved with this request.
FINANCING:
If approved, the subject grant funds will be included in various appropriations and revenues requests submitted for Board approval as part of the FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget. Approval of this request and the receipt of the subject grants will have no new impact on the County General Fund.
