AGENDA TITLE: Approve the Proposed Expenditure Program for Lodi's Share of the 2009 Edward
Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG)
MEETING DATE: July 15,2009
PREPARED BY: David Main, Chief of Police
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the proposed expenditure program for Lodi's share of the
2009 Edward Byrne Memorial Assistance Grant (JAG).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program
providesfunding for states and local governments to support a
broad range of activities to prevent and control crime and to improve
the criminal justice system. JAG replaces the Byrne Formula and
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) programs with a
single funding mechanism that simplifies the administration process
for grantees.
The procedurefor allocating JAG funds is a formula based on population and crime statistics, in
combinationwith a minimum allocation to ensure that each state and territory receives an appropriate
share. Lodi receivedfunding in 2006 and 2007, but was not eligible in 2008. In 2009, Lodi is eligibleto
receive $30,000 in JAG grant funding.
The mechanics of the grant requires the Board of Supervisors approve the expenditure for all the cities in
the County as well as the County, and then all cities need to approve the expenditurefor the cities and
the County. We met the grant application submittal deadline of July 9, 2009 and need approval of
proposed expendituresto complete the application process.
It is proposed that the funding be used to support technology and equipment:
OSSI Hardware, Software, Licensing and equipment upgrades $25,000
Computer Equipment Replacement and Program upgrades 4,400
Administrative Fee of 2% to City of Stockton (required) 600
$30,000
FISCAL IMPACT: This is one-time revenue. The proposed expenditure will relieve the General Fund.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Our success ' ng grant funds should be known by September 1,
2009.
