Thank you SCAAP Program Team Bureau of Justice Assistance BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PASS-AROUND REVIEW PASS-AROUND TITLE:Authorization to submit SaVARAFZ20141grant application DEPARTMENT: Sheriff's Office DATE: 10/11/2018 PERSON REQUESTING: Jennifer Oftelie, SO Budget Manager Brief description of the problem/issue: Each year, the Federal government allows for grant funding to help offset the costs incurred by housing illegal aliens in jails and prisons. The Fiscal Year 2018 State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) application has recently opened, and the Weld County Sheriff's Office would like to submit the information that was collected for the July 1, 2016 — June 30, 2017 period of the grant application. The information requested includes items such as total salaries paid to jail deputies, the number of inmates per night housed in the jail, and the number of nights inmates of foreign birth are housed in the jail. This grant has paid over $3.47 million over the past 12 years to Weld County. The annual award has ranged from $131,200 to $542,059, depending on funding available and the eligibility requirements of the grant. Historically, the Sheriff's Office has used this money to offset the cost of medical services for inmates in the jail, which is an eligible use of these funds. No signature is required for the grant application. The application has been updated to reflect the current Commissioner Chair and reflects the accurate information for the grant period requested. The Sheriff's Office is asking for permission to submit the required grant information by the due date of October 29, 2018. By not submitting the application, Weld County will forfeit any chance of receiving funds for this program for the grant period mentioned above. As a side note, we are still waiting to receive funding for the FY2017 application that was submitted in April 2018, and we may receive two awards in 2018. What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options): Approve the request to submit the grant application by the due date. Deny the request to submit the grant. This would remove our ability to receive federal dollars for this program for Fiscal Year 2018. Recommendation: Authorize submittal of the FY2018 SCAAP grant application.
