October 27, 2015 <br />Sheriff Deryl Loar <br />Indian River County <br />The Honorable Wesley S. Davis, Chairman <br />Indian River Board of County Commissioners <br />1801 27th Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960-3388 <br />Dear Chairman Davis: <br />9 6 9\, <br />The State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) is a payment program that is administered <br />by the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). This program provides funding <br />to participating jurisdictions for the partial reimbursement of costs incurred by incarcerating <br />undocumented criminal aliens in their correctional facilities. <br />I am pleased to inform you that through the efforts of my staff and the use of the consulting firm of <br />Justice Benefits, Inc. (JBI) - that does the research, inputs the data in the proper format and submits <br />the records - the Bureau of Justice Assistance has wire transferred $45,022.00 into the board's bank <br />account. The invoice from the consulting firm for $8,103.96 will need to be paid from the proceeds <br />which leaves a net of $36,918.04 from the FY 2015 SCAAP award. <br />Beginning with FY 2007 SCAAP awards, SCAAP funds must be used for correctional purposes <br />only. Consequently, I am requesting a check in the amount of $36,918.04, with the appropriate <br />budget amendment into Corrections Operating Expenses, to pay the consulting firm and to augment <br />funds needed for Corrections. <br />If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Kelly Goodwin at 978- <br />6146. <br />Sincerely, <br />Deryl Loar, Sheriff <br />cc: Kelly Goodwin, Comptroller <br />Jason E. Brown, OMB Director <br />Diane Bernardo, Finance Director <br />4055 415t Avenue, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 www.ircsheriff.org <br />(772) 569-6700 <br />
