BOOK 97 PAGE 107 <br />r <br />FY 1996/97 ANTI-DRUG ABUSE GRANT FUNDING - CERTIFICATION <br />OF PARTICIPATION <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of April 2, 1996: <br />TO: Members of the Board <br />Of County Commissioners <br />DATE: April 2, 1996 <br />SUBJECT: FY 1996/97 ANTI-DRUG ABUSE GRANT FUNDING <br />CEF. MCATION OF PARTICIPATION <br />FROM: Joseph A. Baird <br />OMB Director <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The Budget Office received a letter dated March 13, 1996 from the Florida Department of <br />Community Affairs (FDCA) stating that Indian River County has been allocated $155,834 in grant <br />funds for FY 1996/97, to fund local anti-drug abuse projects. The letter also requested the Board <br />to serve as the coordinating unit of government in applying for the funds. The Substance Abuse <br />Advisory Council will be soliciting for and receiving grant applications as well as evaluating those <br />applications and recommending to the Board what projects to fund and their funding levels. The <br />Substance Abuse Advisory Council's recommendations will be brought to the Board for approval in <br />May. The grant's seventh year will continue to be funded 75% from the state and 251/o from the <br />county. The budgetary impact on the county will not exceed $50,000 especially since staff has <br />requested all matching funds for the 1996/97 fiscal year to be made by the grant applicants rather than <br />the Board of County Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners would still have to match <br />the Substance Abuse Council portion since the grant requirement recommended the Board of County <br />Commissioners set up the council to administer the grant. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the Board accept the invitation to serve as the coordinating unit of government in <br />the FDCA Anti -Drug Abuse act Grant Program and authorize the Board Chairman to sign the <br />Certification of Participation naming Joseph A. Baird, Budget Director, as the contact person. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously accepted <br />the invitation to serve as the coordinating unit of <br />government in the FDCA Anti -Drug Abuse Act Grant <br />Program and authorized the Certification of <br />Participation naming Joseph A. Baird, Budget <br />Director, as the contact person, as -recommended in <br />the Memorandum. <br />COPY OF CERTIFICATION OF PARTICIPATION HAS BEEN PLACED <br />ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />M <br />April 9, 1996 <br />
