REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with these actions. To meet grant filling deadline, the grant application was submitted contingent upon your Board's approval. The application will provide partial funding for the Fresno James Rowland Crime Assistance Center (CVAC), which the Probation Department has operated for crime victims and witnesses in Fresno County since 1980. It should be noted that once the Grant Award Face Sheet is executed by the Chairman and the State of California, Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), the application documents become the final agreement between the County and Cal OES. This item is countywide.
