RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE clarification of Board action of October 17, 2017 (Item C. 69) that approved and authorized the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to accept supplemental grant funding from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Violence Against Women for the Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration Initiative, Lethality Assessment Program, to change the term from October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018 to October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2019, with no change in the payment limit of $1,984,787.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action has no fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Justice, Office of Violence Against Women, was created to build capacity of local jurisdictions to improve identification of and provision of services for domestic violence victims who are at risk of lethality, and to improve the monitoring of high risk offenders.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This board order clarifies the term of the contract between the County and the Department of Justice, Office of Violence Against Women, approved at the October 17, 2017 Board of Supervisors meeting (Item C. 69) to be October 17, 2017 through September 30, 2019. The Department submitted September 30, 2018 as the term end date in error, which is not the term end date stated in the grant.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the clarification, the term of the grant funding would be incorrect in the Board order.
