Background Information:
In an effort to increase efficiency and reduce administrative time in enabling the Sheriff to receive the appropriation related to grant awards received and service contracts, a lump sum was appropriated as a part of the budget allocation in an amount commensurate with total awards in past years. Upon review by the Office of Management & Budget, the monthly payment schedule to the Sheriff will be adjusted accordingly. If the lump sum is exhausted before the end of the fiscal year, future grant awards or contracts will be presented to the Board as a Budget Resolution. This process mirrors the process utilized for the Law Enforcement Trust Fund.
