TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Margaret Mims, Sheriff-Coroner
SUBJECT: Retroactive Grant Application for Internet Crimes Against Children
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Retroactively authorize the Sheriff-Coroner's submittal of grant application to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) program to fund the activities of the Fresno County Sheriff's ICAC Task Force effective July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 ($200,000);
2. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute retroactive grant award from Cal OES, for the 2017 ICAC Grant for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 ($200,000);
3. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Certification of Assurance of Compliance assuring the County will abide by the laws, policies and procedures governing this funding; and
4. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Subrecipient Grants Management Assessment.
REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with these actions. Cal OES released this funding application exclusively to the five current federally funded ICAC Task Forces in California, of which the Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner's Office is one. The Sheriff submitted the non-competitive application to Cal OES to meet the application deadline of August 24, 2017 contingent on your Board's approval. Once the Grant Award Face Sheet is executed by the Chairman and Cal OES, the award documents become the final Agreement between the County and Cal OES.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If your Board does not approve the recommended actions, the grant funds would be denied and would impact the department's ability to investigate computer crimes that target children.
RETROACTIVE AGREEMENT:
The recommended agreement was received from Cal OES on July 20, 2017 and subsequent time for processing delayed this item from being placed on an earlier agenda date.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no addition...
