Department:	Sheriff

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the acceptance of a Fiscal Year 2014 Justice Assistance Grant sub-award (JAG No. 2014-DJ-BX-0303) from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) in response to a joint application submitted with the City of Laredo in the amount of $45,491 for the Webb County Sheriff's Office for the acquisition of equipment and supplies to provide needed safety and communications at the Webb County jail and authorizing the County Judge to execute all relevant document; and any other matters incident thereto. This grant does not require any match.

Background:

The City of Laredo/County of Webb is a jurisdiction certified as disparate and must submit a joint application. A disparate allocation 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 percent of the costs associated with incarceration of the municipality's Part I violent crimes.

Previous Court Action:

The submission of this grant application was authorized by the Webb County Commissioners' Court on Monday, 27, 2014.
