DISCUSSION
In April 2005, City Council approved to execute an agreement with the
County of Orange, Sheriff's Department to submit a joint application for
the 2005 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program. The
JAG program is a combination of the previous Local Law Enforcement Block
Grants (LLEBG) and the Edward Byrne Memorial Formula Grants by the federal
Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs.
The City agreed to contribute a portion of the 2005 JAG award to fund
PROACT, the Orange County Pro-Active Methamphetamine Laboratory
Investigative Team. The agreement to transfer funds for the 2005 JAG
program is necessary for the City to seek reimbursement for the remainder
of our allocated funds.
The Orange County units of local government involved in the 2006 JAG
program grant application have agreed that the County of Orange, Sheriff's
Department, will submit the joint application for this program, as required
by federal guidelines. Of the $122,778 tentatively allocated for Santa
Ana, the entire funding amount will be designated to supplement the
County's PROACT program.
