Page 1 of 2 03-30-051002 : 43 RCVD City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 3/24/2005 - Ordinance No. 16338-03-2005 DATE: Thursday, March 24, 2005 LOG NAME: 3505JAG REFERENCE NO.: **C-20607 SUBJECT: Authorize Application for and Acceptance of FY 2005 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant; Approve Inter-Local Agreement with Tarrant County, Arlington, Hurst and North Richland Hills for the City of Fort Worth to Serve as the Cognizant Fiscal Agency; and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Apply for and accept, if awarded, the FY 2005 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant in the amount of $778,785, for the period October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2008; 2. Approve an Inter-Local Agreement to have the City of Fort Worth to serve as the cognizant fiscal agency on this grant for Tarrant County, Arlington, Haltom City, Hurst and North Richland Hills; 3. Authorize the use of anticipated interest in the amount of$25,000; and 4. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the estimated receipts and appropriations in the Grants Fund by $803,785. DISCUSSION: The United States Department of Justice has discontinued the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) program and replaced it by combining the Edward Byrne Memorial Fund, a discretionary grant program and a new program to create the FY 2005 Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG). This was announced in mid-January 2005 and the deadline to apply for the grant is March 31, 2005. Under the LLEBG, the City of Fort Worth, along with several other jurisdictions, were deemed "disparate" agencies and had to negotiate with Tarrant County to develop a program budget and strategy. Previously each city applied for their own grant and contracted with Tarrant County to provide funds. This strategy is not allowed in the FY 2005 JAG. All funds destined for agencies certified as disparate must be pooled, a spending plan must be developed and one agency must serve as the cognizant jurisdiction to apply for and disperse funds. A committee of all impacted law enforcement agencies was formed and met to develop an application strategy. At this meeting Fort Worth was selected to serve as the cognizant agency. A total of $778,785 is available for all jurisdictions, with no matching funds required and will be distributed in the following manner: Jurisdiction Funding Purpose Areas Tarrant County $133,274.00 Prosecution and Court; Drug Treatment; Prevention and Education Programs Logname: 3505JAG Page 1 of 2 Arlington $212,248.00 Law Enforcement Programs Fort Worth $390,048.00 Law Enforcement; Planning, Evaluation and Prevention and Education Programs Haltom City $14,034.00 Law Enforcement Programs Hurst $13,838.00 Law Enforcement Programs North Richland Hills $15,343.00 Law Enforcement Programs Interest Earned $25,000.00 Law Enforcement Programs; Planning, Evaluation and Technology Fort Worth is responsible for submitting the full grant application and must do so no later than March 31, 2005.
