2001 - Saginaw County

Board of Commissioners August 14, 2001
FROM: COURTS & PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE -- 3.2 AUGUST 14, 2001
Your committee has considered communication no.8-14-21 from
Sheriff Charles Brown informing the Board that an application has
been submitted for a Family Independence Agency Juvenile
Accountability Incentive Block Grant to support the internet crime
initiative.
This grant will target juvenile offenders who are using cyber
technology to perpetrate crimes. Additionally, this grant has a
strong public educational component, and will partially support
expenses for investigative and prosecutorial personnel, computer
hardware and software required for forensic investigation.
The total grant of $147,874.00 requires a match of $14,788 or 10%.
Since this is a collaborative effort between the Sheriff and
Prosecutor, the match would be divided equally and is included in
their respective budgets.
It is the recommendation of your committee that the County accept
the grant, if awarded, for the internet crime initiative; further
that the proper County officials be authorized and directed to
amend the Budget and execute the necessary documents on behalf of
the County subject to review by the Controller as to substance and
Counsel as to legal form.
Respectfully submitted,
COMMITTEE ON COURTS & PUBLIC SAFETY
Richard F. Mallette, Chair
Patrick A. Wurtzel, Vice-Chair

APPROPRIATIONS AUTHORIZATION: It is the recommendation of your
