crime statistics, in combination with a minimum allocation to ensure that each state and county receives
an appropriate share.
The grant process requires the City Council to authorize the acceptance of funds and approve the
proposed expenditures for the City of Lodi. The grant application deadline was June 30, 2016. The grant
application was processed prior to the deadline; however, the department was unable to take the item to
Council prior to June 30. Staff requests Council ratify the submission of the JAG application submission.

FISCAL IMPACT:

technology and safety equipment needs without using General Fund
revenues.
