JAG requires a <br />single unit of county government to function as the applicant/fiscal agent to apply for, receive, <br />and administer the funds on behalf of the entire county. A memorandum of understanding <br />designates the County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner Department as the lead agency for the <br />program. <br />For FY 2012, $126,869 has been allocated for Santa Ana. The City agreed to allocate 10 <br />percent of the total funding, or $12,687, to the Orange County Pro-Active Methamphetamine <br />Laboratory Investigative Team to supplement their resources. JAG also allows the fiscal agent <br />for each county to use a portion of the award for costs associated with administering the funds. <br />The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department will retain $11,418 (9 percent) of administrative <br />fees. The remainder of the funds in the amount of $102,764 will be utilized by the Police <br />Department to fund overtime for the Gang Enforcement and Career Criminal Unit. <br />20A-1
