requirement of this award.
Failure to comply with any one or more of these award requirements--whether a condition set out in full below,a
condition incorporated by reference below,or a certification or assurance related to conduct during the award period--
may result in the Office of Justice Programs("OJP")taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the
award. Among other things,the OJP may withhold award funds,disallow costs,or suspend or terminate the award.
T'he Department of Justice("DOJ"),including OJP,also may take other legal action as appropriate.
Any materially false,fictitious,or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award(or concealment
or omission of a material fact)may be the subject of criminal prosecution(including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621,
and/or 34 U.S.C. 10271-10273),and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties and administrative remedies for false
claims or otherwise(including under 31 U.S.C.3729-3730 and 3801-3812).
Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms,that provision
shall first be applied with a limited construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by law. Should it be
held,instead,that the provision is utterly invalid or-unenforceable,such provision shall be deemed severable from this

(regardless of the award date,and regardless of whether derived from the initial award or a supplemental award)that

recipient is to contact OJP promptly for clarification.

condition is removed.)
Except to the extent(if any)that an award condition expressly precludes reimbursement of project costs incurred"at-
risk,"if and when the recipient makes a valid acceptance of this award and OJP removes each applicable withholding
condition through a Grant Adjustment Notice,the recipient is authorized to obligate(federal)award funds to reimburse
itself for project costs incurred"at-risk"earlier during the period of performance(such as project costs incurred prior to
award acceptance or prior to removal of an applicable withholding condition),provided that those project costs
otherwise are allowable costs under the award.
Nothing in this condition shall be understood to authorize the recipient(or any subrecipient at any tier)to use award
funds to"supplant"State or local funds in violation of the recipient's certification(executed by the chief executive of

Assistance in the Amount of$500,519.00,Authorize Execution of a Grant
Agreement with the United States Department of Justice and Related
Memoranda of Understanding with Tarrant County and the Cities of Arlington
and Bedford and Adopt Appropriate Ordinance(ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

Assistance Grant Fiscal
Year 2018 Program from the United States Department of Justice,Office
of Justice Programs and
Bureau of Justice Assistance in the amount of$500,519.00;
2. Authorize the execution of a Grant Agreement with the United States
Department of Justice and
related Memoranda of Understanding with Tarrant County and the Cities

grant and determining the manner in which the grant money will be
disbursed and utilized;and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated
receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Operating Federal Fund in the amount of$500,519.00 subject to
receipt of the grant.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth will apply for a grant from the Edward Byrne
Memorial Justice Assistance Grant(JAG)Fiscal Year 2018 Program,which has
been established by the United States Department of Justice to allow local
governments to support a broad range of activities aimed at preventing
crime and improving the criminal justice system. The City of Fort Worth
applied for the grant in conjunction with the Cities of Arlington and
Bedford and with Tarrant County. Pursuant to the application terms,the
City of Fort Worth is required to negotiate with the other jurisdictions to
develop a program budget and strategy. The jurisdictions agreed to funding
distribution amounts and that the City of Fort Worth should serve as the
cognizant agency for the Fiscal Year 2018 Program. The cities and county
included in the application have worked collaboratively under JAG programs
since 2005.
A total amount of$500,519.00 is available to be shared among the
jurisdictions listed below and will be distributed in the following manner:
Jurisdictions Purpose Area Amount
Fort Worth Personnel Software $252,948.00
Arlington Police Equipment $113,127.00
Bedford Police Equipment $9,314.00
Tarrant County Mental Health Liaison $125,130.00
No matching funds are required.The City of Fort Worth is responsible for
submitting the full grant application and will,upon receipt of the grant
funds, distribute the agreed upon funding amounts to the other
jurisdictions on a reimbursable basis. In the JAG Program application,the
City of Fort Worth
requested the amount of$252,948.00 for an automated personnel management
platform.
The Fiscal Year 2016 and 2017 JAG Program M&C's were M&C C-27965 &M&C
C-28525. Initially the FY16 funds were planning to be used for in car
video equipment and the FYI 7 funds were planning to be used for equipment
and training for the Fort Worth Crime Lab. The Fort Worth Police
Department has now changed their view on how to best utilize those
funds. Therefore,the City is submitting new documentation to the DOJ
describing the City's proposed use for the FY16 and FY17 funds from the JAG
Program grant. For FY16,the City now plans on using those funds for
training and equipment for the Crime Lab and for FYI 7,the City is now
planning on using those funds for the same automated personnel management
platform that the funds for FY18 will be used for. No council approval is
necessary for this change since the amounts for the grants are not changing
and the City is submitting the required documentation to the DOJ to change
the use of those funds.
This program will serve ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
Indirect costs are not eligible expenses for this grant.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public
institution of higher education: United States Department of Justice.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above
recommendations,receipt of the grant and adoption of the attached
appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating
budget,as appropriated,of the Grants Operating Federal Fund. The Police
Department is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to

OCR Letter to All Recipients
October 1,2018
Mr.Jesus Chapa
City of Fort Worth
505 West Felix Street
Fort Worm,rX/6115
Dear Mr.Chapa:
Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs,Congress linked the receipt of federal funding to
compliance with federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights(OCR),Office of Justice Programs(OJP),U.S.Department of Justice
(DOJ)is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial assistance from the OJP,the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services
(COPS),and the Office on Violence Against Women(OVW)comply with the applicable federal civil rights laws. We at the OCR are
available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with DOJ funding.
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
Federal laws that apply to recipients of financial assistance from the DOJ prohibit discrimination on the basis of race,color,national origin,
religion,sex,or disability in funded programs or activities,not only in employment but also in the delivery of services or benefits. A federal
law also prohibits recipients from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits.
In March of 2013,President Obama signed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The statute amends the Violence
Against Women Act of 1994(VAWA)by including a nondiscrimination grant condition that prohibits discrimination based on actual or
perceived race,color,national origin,religion,sex,disability,sexual orientation,or gender identity. The new nondiscrimination grant
condition applies to certain programs funded after October 1,2013. The OCR and the OVW have developed answers to some frequently
asked questions about this provision to assist recipients of VAWA funds to understand their obligations. The Frequently Asked Questions
are available at htips://ojp.gov/about/ocr/vawafags.htm.
Enforcing Civil Rights Laws
All recipients of federal financial assistance,regardless of the particular funding source,the amount of the grant award,or the number of
employees in the workforce,are subject to prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly,the OCR investigates recipients that
are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition,based on regulatory criteria,the OCR selects a
number of recipients each year for compliance reviews,audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing services
equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal opportunity standards.
Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency(LEP)Individuals
In accordance with DOJ guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,42 U.S.C.§2000d,recipients of federal financial
assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited English
proficiency(LEP). See U.S.Department of Justice,Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition
Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons,67 Fed.Reg.41,455(2002). For more information
on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to LEP individuals,please see the website
https://www.ldp.gov.
Ensuring Equal Treatment of Faith-Based Organizations and Safeguarding Constitutional Protections Related to Religion
The DOJ regulation,Partnerships with Faith-Based and Other Neighborhood Organizations,28 C.F.R.pt.38,updated in April 2016,
prohibits all recipient organizations,whether they are law enforcement agencies,governmental agencies,educational institutions,houses of
worship,or faith-based organizations,from using financial assistance from the DOJ to fund explicitly religious activities. Explicitly
religious activities include worship,religious instruction,or proselytization. While funded organizations may engage in non-funded
explicitly religious activities(e.g.,prayer),they must hold them separately from the activities funded by the DOJ,and recipients cannot
compel beneficiaries to participate in them. The regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the DOJ
are not permitted to discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion,religious belief,a refusal to hold a
— --rdigiousbelief,-o-asef isal to attend_or-participate-inaseligious-practice--Eunded_faith--based-organizations-musLWso_pro_vide-written
notice to beneficiaries,advising them that if they should object to the religious character of the funded faith based organization,the funded
faith-based organization will take reasonable steps to refer the beneficiary to an alternative service provider. For more information on the
regulation,please see the OCR's website at https://ojp.gov/aboutlocr/partnerships.htin.
SAAs and faith-based organizations should also note that the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act(Safe Streets Act)of 1968,as
amended,34 U.S.C.§10228(c);the Victims of Crime Act of 1984,as amended,34 U.S.C.§20110(e);the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act of 1974,as amended,34 U.S.C.§11182(b);and VAWA,as amended,
34 U.S.C.§ 12291(b)(13),contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. Despite these
nondiscrimination provisions,the DOJ has concluded that it may construe the Religious Freedom Restoration Act(RFRA)on a case-by-
case basis to permit some faith-based organizations to receive DOJ funds while taking into account religion when hiring staff,even if the
statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids recipients from considering religion in employment decisions. Please consult
with the OCR if you have any questions about the regulation or the application of RFRA to the statutes that prohibit discrimination in
employment.
Using Arrest and Conviction Records in Making Employment Decisions
The OCR issued an advisory document for recipients on the proper use of arrest and conviction records in making hiring decisions. See
Advisory for Recipients of Financial Assistance from the U.S.Department of Justice on the U.S.Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission's Enforcement Guidance:Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title V11 of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964(June 2013),available at https://ojp.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/UseofConviction_Advisory.pdf. Recipients should be
mindful that the misuse of arrest or conviction records to screen either applicants for employment or employees for retention or promotion
may have a disparate impact based on race or national origin,resulting in unlawful employment discrimination. In light of the Advisory,
recipients should consult local counsel in reviewing their employment practices. If warranted,recipients should also incorporate an analysis
of the use of arrest and conviction records in their Equal Employment Opportunity Plans(EEOPs)(see below).
Complying with the Safe Streets Act
An organization that is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Safe Streets Act,must meet two
obligations:(I)complying with the federal regulation pertaining to the development of an EEOP(see 28 C.F.R.pt.42,subpt.E)and(2)
submitting to the OCR findings of discrimination(see 28 C.F.R.§§42.204(c),.205(c)(5)).
Meeting the EEOP Requirement
An EEOP is a comprehensive document that analyzes a recipient's relevant labor market data,as well as the recipient's employment
practices,to identify possible barriers to the participation of women and minorities in all levels of a recipient's workforce. As a recipient of
DOJ funding,you may be required to submit an EEOP Certification Report or an EEOP Utilization Report to the OCR. For more
information on whether your organization is subject to the EEOP requirements,see https://ojp.gov/about/ocr/eeop.htrn. Additionally,you
may request technical assistance from an EEOP specialist at the OCR by telephone at(202)616-1771 or by e-mail at
EEOPforms@usdoj.gov.
Meeting the Requirement to Submit Findings of Discrimination
If in the three years prior to the date of the grant award,your organization has received an adverse finding of discrimination based on race,
color,national origin,religion,or sex,after a due-process hearing,from a state or federal court or from a state or federal administrative
agency,your organization must send a copy of the finding to the OCR.
Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients
SAAB must have standard assurances to notify subrecipients of their civil rights obligations,written procedures to address discrimination
complaints filed against subrcci I eCi�iCntSI-C6)$p118nc with civil rights In to train
subrecipients on applicable civil rights laws. In addition,SAAB must submit to the OCR every three years written Methods of
Administration(MOA)that summarize the policies and procedures that they have implemented to ensure the civil rights compliance of
subrecipients. For more information on the MOA requirement,see https:Hojp.gov/funding/Explore/StateMethodsAdmin-FY2017update.htm.
If the OCR can assist you in any way in fulfilling your organization's civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial
assistance,please contact us.
