REPORT
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. Fresno County is the approved fiduciary for the Central Valley High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (CV HIDTA). The CV HIDTA received a grant application in the amount of $845,102 for the 2021 grant year. The grant application was submitted on March 15, 2021, contingent upon your Board's approval. The Sheriff's Office is requesting approval to sign the application and award letter on behalf of the County as ONDCP protocol requires a Law Enforcement's Officer's authorization. Approval of the third recommendation action will allow the Sheriff's Office to execute MOUs with CV HIDTA resource agencies for the new grant period. This item is countywide.
