SUBJECT: Retroactive Grant Application for Intensive Probation Supervision of High-Risk Felony and Repeat DUI Offenders and Grant Agreement with the Office of Traffic Safety
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Retroactively authorize the Chief Probation Officer's previous submittal of a grant application for California Office of Traffic Safety's Intensive Probation Supervision of High-Risk Felony and Repeat DUI Offenders Program to fund Probation's Repeat DUI caseload positions for the period of October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019; and

ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
