CONTACT PF_RNON <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 29, 2001: <br />TO: Members of the Board of County Commissioners <br />DATE: March 29, 2001 <br />SUBJECT: STATE FISCAL YEAR 2002 ANTI-DRUG ABUSE GRANT FUNDING <br />CERTIFICATION OF PARTICIPATION <br />THROUGH: Joseph A. Baird <br />Assistant County Administrator <br />-1 <br />FROM: Jason E. Brown <br />Budget Manager C) <br />DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS <br />Indian River County has been notified by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) <br />Office of Criminal Justice Grants, that $144,226 has been allocated in grant funds for State <br />Fiscal Year 2002, to fund local anti-drug abuse projects. The letter also requested that the Board <br />of County Commissioners serve as the coordinating unit of government in applying for these <br />funds. The Substance Abuse Advisory Council will be soliciting for and receiving grant <br />applications, as well as evaluating those applications and recommending to the Board what <br />projects to fund and their funding levels. The Substance Abuse Advisory Council's <br />recommendations will be brought to the Board for approval in May. <br />The grant will continue to be funded 75% from the state and 25% from the county. The <br />budgetary impact on the county will not exceed 550,000, since staff has requested all matching <br />funds for the 2001/2002 fiscal year to be made by the grant applicants rather than the Board of <br />County Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners would have to match the <br />Substance Abuse Council portion since the grant requirement recommended that the Board of <br />County Commissioners set up the council to administer the grant. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners accept the invitation to serve as the <br />coordinating unit of government in the FDLE Anti -Drug Abuse Grant Program and authorize the <br />Board Chairman to sign the Certification of Participation naming Jason E. Brown, Budget <br />Manager, as the contact person. <br />APDL io, Zooi 17 I'U 00 2 2 <br />-27- <br />
