SUBJECT APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT PERTAINING TO THE
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM (PHASE I)
It is recommended that the City Council
Authorize the City Manager to extend the contract (Contract #22230) period with Tarrant County,
a sub-grantee, from October 1, 1997 through September 30, 1998, in accordance with the grant
guidelines set out in the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants Program, which is operational
from October 1, 1996 through September 30, 1998, and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in
the Grant Fund by $90,000 from available funds for the purpose of supplementing existing
federal grant programs.
On October 8, 1996 (M&C G-11634) approval was given to accept the Local Law Enforcement Block
Grant Program and enter into a contract with Tarrant County The purpose of the contract was to fund
the Drug Treatment Court which had formerly been funded through the Comprehensive Communities
Program (CCP) grant. Under the Block Grant Program, Tarrant County was given $200,000 to operate
this program
In accordance with grant guidelines, the City and its sub-grantees have up to two years to expend the
funds. As asub-grantee, Tarrant County is requesting that the contract be extended to run through
September 30, 1998. By extending the contract, this will enable Tarrant County to fully expend the
monies already allotted to them
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant regulations require the grant funds to be deposited in an interest
bearing account. The accumulated interest may be used for an existing project funded by the block
grant or by eligible Justice Department grants and must be spent during the two year grant cycle No
other use of these funds is allowed under federal regulations. The $90,000 will be used to reimburse
the Comprehensive Communities Program grant for travel costs to the National Crime Prevention
Conference and to supplement and continue existing block grant programs until all funds are expended
