Reason for Recommended Action/Background

The District Attorney's Office has received Byrne funding since the 1990-91 fiscal year which has been utilized to support the District Attorney Anti-Drug Abuse grant program since that time. Commencing the 2005-2006 fiscal year Byrne funding was split between the Bureau of Justice Assistance (JAG Grant) and the Board of State and Community Corrections. An agreement was reached between the District Attorney and the City of West Sacramento and the City of Woodland whereby all available funding should be applied to support the continuation of the Anti-Drug Abuse Program. This program supports one YONET agent.

Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)

County Counsel has approved the resolution as to form. All of the police chiefs of Yolo County, the Sheriff, Chief Probation Officer, YONET Commander and the District Attorney are all members of the Local Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee and make recommendations regarding grant expenditures. The Yolo County Courts, Public Defender and the Department of Corrections are also involved.
