Subject: CVC and VALE Administrative Funds
Don-
As we discussed at the budget meeting this morning, the DA's Victim-Witness Program has two separate
administrative funds, one derived through the Crime Victim Compensation (CVC) Fund and another
sustained by the Victim Assistance and Law Enforcement (VALE) Fund, that we would like to move out of
Judicial accounts and into two distinct (i.e., the CVC and VALE dollars cannot be commingle with each
other or any other funds) County accounts. Furthermore, the use of the dollars in these accounts must
remain under the administrative control of each statutorily designated board, CVC and VALE, and other
existing restrictions need to be retained.
Based on our brief discussion, it was my understanding that the County would be willing to establish
separate CVC and VALE administrative accounts and that these accounts can function in essentially the
same manner as they have operated within the Judicial accounts (e.g., Board oversight, restricted use,
etc.). If this understanding is correct, please notify me when I can begin the initial transfer of accrued
balances to these accounts. Also, please inform me concerning any special procedures (e.g., Banner
account codes, etc.)for making the initial and subsequent account deposits and disbursements. Finally,
due to the timing of board meetings and other considerations, I would like to have things in place in order
to complete this transfer soon.
If you need any additional information, please contact me.
Thanks! Your help is sincerely appreciated.
