RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/118 authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for and accept, subject to compliance with certifications, the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) FY 2020 Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding (CESF) Program in an initial amount of $82,337 to assist in preventing, preparing for, and responding to the Coronavirus for the period of January 20, 2020 to the end of the grant period.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$82,337, 100% Federal; No County match. (CFDA 16.034)

BACKGROUND:

The Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding (CESF) Program will provide funding to assist eligible states, local units of government, and tribes in preventing, preparing for, and responding to the coronavirus. The CESF Program is authorized by Division B of H.R. 748, Pub. L. No. 116-136 (Emergency Appropriations for Coronavirus Health Response and Agency Operations); 28 U.S.C. 530C. Funds awarded under the CESF Program must be utilized to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus. Allowable projects and purchases include, but are not limited to, overtime, equipment (including law enforcement and medical personal protective equipment), hiring, supplies (such as gloves, masks, sanitizer, disposable gowns, UV light system), training, travel expenses (particularly related to the distribution of resources to the most impacted areas), and addressing the medical needs of inmates in state, local, tribal prisons, jails, and detention centers.

Funds may not be used to supplant state or local funds but must be used to increase the amounts of such funds that would, in the absence of federal funds, be made available.

Funds may not be used for direct administrative costs that exceed 10 percent of the total award amount.

Award recipients must, as described in the Part 200 Uniform Requirements as set out at 2.C.F.R. 200.303, comply with the standards for financial and program management.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Sheriff's Office will be unable to apply for and accept the grant from the U.S. Department of Justice.
