Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Funding May 3, 2022 Page 2 software costs associated with the transition to the National Incident -Based Reporting System (NIBRS) as is required by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. The remainder of the funds in the amount of $101,638 will be utilized by the Police Department for officer and professional staff overtime to augment gang prevention and enforcement, ensure successful prosecutions of gang -related crimes, and enhancement of educational opportunities through schools, community associations, and neighborhood watch groups. On September 15, 2020, the City Council approved the 2019 JAG MOU in the amount of $99,445.50 and the period of performance for this grant is still valid, with an ending date of September 30, 2022. On April 6, 2021, the City Council approved the 2020 JAG MOU in the amount of $90,364.23 which ends on September 30, 2023. At the time both awards were accepted, the NIBRS three percent set -aside amounts ($3,315 for the 2019 JAG program and $2,795 for the 2020 JAG program) were not included in Santa Ana's grant award appropriations because the County was previously responsible for spending the three percent set -aside funds for the benefit of all participating agencies. However, since then, the County has decided to allocate these funds directly to all cities for the 2019, 2020, and 2021 JAG awards. Therefore the combined $6,110 total must be appropriated into the City's budget in order for the Police Department to spend the funds as required.
