DISCUSSION
The second year of funding- of the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program for Fort Worth includes
$1,454,724 00 in federal funds, $161,636 00 in cash match, and an estimated $90,000 00 interest
earned for a total of $1,706,360 00 The funds will be provided in advance, beginning October 1, 1997
and the City will have up to two years to expend these funds. Funds must be placed in an interest
bearing account, and all accrued interest will be considered program income and must be used on
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant projects. Staff has estimated interest of $90,000 00 will be earned
on these funds over the next two years. These will be placed in a separate account and used for
closing costs and/or equipment needed at the end of the grant. Matching funds are budgeted in non-
departmental, general fund Local Law Enforcement Block Grant regulations do not allow payment of
indirect costs
Grant proposals were solicited from within the Police Department, as well as other City departments.
The Drug Treatment Court program, initiated under the Comprehensive Communities Program (CCP)
grant, was moved to the first block grant due to limited funds in the second phase CCP grant. Since the
drug treatment court has already established itself, for this second year of funding, the County felt a
need for a juvenile drug treatment court. By establishing a juvenile drug court this would provide a
greater coordination between the court, the treatment community, the school system and other
community agencies in responding to the needs of the juvenile
