Staff has requested all matching funds for the 2002/2003 fiscal <br />year to be made by the grant applicants rather than the Board of County Commissioners. The Board of <br />County Commissioners would have to match the Substance Abuse Council portion since the grant <br />requirement recommended that the Board of County Comrrussioners set up the council to administer the <br />grant. Additionally, the Board of County Commissioners will provide the match for the Multi -Agency <br />Drug Enforcement Unit (M A C E) grants, since MACE is comprised of local governmental entities. <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 Board <br />Chairman to sign the Certification of Participation naming Jason E.
