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. One of these programs is the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board, which is expected to continue in FY 2016-17. The Grant program requires the County recipient agency 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. This is the 20th year in which the Grant funding for this program has been utilized by Monterey County.
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 renewal of this grant application and future acceptance documentation under similar terms for renewal of funding for this ongoing program.
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 2016-17 Recommended Budget. Approval of this request and the receipt of the subject grant will have no new impact on the County General Fund.
