<br /> <br />We have developed a proposal to move forward with a grant application that allows all eligible <br />members to receive their allocated share of the award with the disparate jurisdictions of Alameda <br />County and Oakland with a realigned percentage. An attached, estimated equity sharing proposal <br />has been outlined, whereby listed members will receive their federally-predetermined allotment <br />of available funds, less a 10% fee to fund the Sheriff’s Office efforts associated with grant <br />administration, application filing, and financial and auditing services. I am requesting your support <br />for this proposal so that as many of our agencies as possible can continue to benefit from the <br />Byrne JAG Local funding. <br /> <br />Our proposal includes the development of a necessary addendum to our annually renewed <br />Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) plus the federal Certification of Compliance form which <br />must both be signed by your “Chief Executive Officer” before award monies will be allocated to <br />your agency. All eligible members must have their City Manager/City Administrator agree to and <br />sign both the MOU addendum and the Certification of Compliance declaring their acceptance of <br />the joint application and the terms therein. To expedite the application process, the addendum to <br />the MOU and the Certification are attached and will be formally presented for your review and <br />acceptance at the next Alameda County Chiefs of Police and Sheriff’s Association (ACCOPSA) <br />meeting. Our common goal is to ascertain an agreement on the addendum to our MOU and the <br />Certification promptly to have the documents expeditiously signed by your City Manager/City <br />Administrator, as required by BJA. Your city’s signed MOU and Certification must be received, if <br />possible, no later than Friday October 18th, 2024 (color-scanned, blue-ink signatures are <br />preferred). <br /> <br />I am also asking your agency to email a paragraph-sized description of what you intend to do with <br />your FY2024 JAG Local funds and your budget worksheet within the next week. The final page <br />attachment to this letter is a copy of your actual FY2023 JAG Local request and budget worksheet <br />format. <br /> <br />We apologize for the extremely short turnaround time and remain here to assist in any way possible. <br /> <br />Thank you! <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />Kathy Martins, FSO-Grants Manager
