Subject:

Discussion and possible action to enter into a sub-recipient agreement with the City of Laredo for the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants (JAG) and designating the Webb County Judge as the authorized official in all matters pertaining to these grants and any other matters incident thereto. [Requested by Martin Cuellar, Webb County Sheriff]

Issue: The City of Laredo is required by the Department of Justice to provide monitoring and documentation for its sub-recipients.

Solution: Seek court authorization to enter into these sub-recipient agreements.

Result: The agreements will be duly authorized by the court.

Background:

This Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) is considered a disparate allocation, which occurs when a city or municipality is allocated one-and-one-half times (150 percent) more than the county, while the county bears more than 50% of the cost associated with the incarceration of the municipality’s Part I violent crimes.

Previous Court Action:

The grant application authorization and award acceptance are approved by the Webb County Commissioners' Court on a yearly basis.
