BETWEEN
THE CITIES OF ST. PETERSBURG, CLEARWATER, DUNEDIN,
LARGO, PINELLAS PARK, TARPON SPRINGS,
AND
THE PINELLAS COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
RE: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
EDWARD BYRNE MEMORIAL
JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT (JAG) PROGRAM
CFDA #16.738
The Cities of St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Dunedin, Largo, Pinellas Park, and Tarpon Springs
(Cities) and the County of Pinellas (County), Florida are units of local government appearing on
the FY2009 Units of Local Government list established by the United States Department of
Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) as being eligible to apply for JAG funds.
BJS has determined that the Cities and the County have a disparate allocation of JAG funds in
that the Cities are scheduled to receive at least 4 times more than the County, while the County
bears more than 50% of the costs of incarceration and court security that arise for Part 1 violent
crimes reported by the geographically constituent units (i, e. Cities).
As a result of the United States Department of Justice disparate jurisdiction certification, the
Cities and the County must submit a joint application for the aggregate of JAG funds applicable
to all the entities ($726,862). The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, as designated by the Pinellas
County Board of County Commissioners, and with the agreement of all the parties hereto, will
serve as the Applicant and Fiscal Agent and will submit the required application. The
Applicant/Fiscal Agent will ensure that the application is made public through the Applicant's
public web site.
The parties have agreed to the following use of funds:
Pinellas County, with the Cities of Clearwater, Largo, and Tarpon Springs will utilize
their funds to supplement and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Cities' and
the County's delivery of countywide law enforcement services. More specifically,
$377,393 will be used to fund countywide prisoner transportation that benefits the Cities
and the County.
Those cities not participating in the countywide project will contribute twenty percent of
their individual allocations to Pinellas County toward administrative costs and in
recognition of the disparity in allocations. The County will add these funds in the amount
of $87,367 to the countywide prisoner transportation program.
The City of St. Petersburg will utilize its remaining allocation ($315,607) for
supplemental overtime; the City of Dunedin will purchase two digitized traffic signs with
its remaining allocation ($10,520); and the City of Pinellas Park will purchase six in-car
video cameras with its remaining allocation ($23,342).
The Cities will provide the County with information to assist with the development of any fiscal
and/or programmatic reports that are required by the JAG program.
