The grant award does not require on-going cash contributions after the grant period end date. Authorize the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, or designee, to sign all documents related to this award. Grant revenues are not "local revenues" for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law. This award agreement is in the amount of $363,001. This award will ensure that victims of crime are notified of the progress of criminal proceedings. This grant will expire at the end of the agreement. There is no long-term expectation of continued funding for this grant; however, the County Attorney’s Office has been receiving grant funds from the Attorney General’s office for victim services since FY 96/97, the most recent award was for FY 17/18 in the amount of $495,000.
