It is a formula grant <br />that blends the previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) programs. <br />JAG requires a single unit of county government to function as the applicant/fiscal agent to apply for, <br />receive, and administer the funds on behalf of the entire county. A memorandum of understanding <br />designated the County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner Department as the lead agency for this program. <br />For FY 2010, $205,899 has been allocated for Santa Ana. The City agreed to allocate 10 percent of <br />the total funding, or $20,590, to the Orange County Pro-Active Methamphetamine Laboratory <br />Investigative Team to supplement their resources. JAG also allows the fiscal agent for each county <br />to use a portion of the award for costs associated with administering the funds. The Orange County <br />Sheriff-Coroner Department will retain $18,531 (9.0 percent) for administrative fees. The remainder <br />of the funds in the amount of $166,778 will be utilized by the Police Department for Gang and CCU <br />overtime front line enforcement programs. <br />20B-1
