FDLE will distribute these funds in accordance with the JAG Countywide distribution provisions of Chapter 11 D-9, Florida Administrative Code. FDLE has set aside $469,203 funds for use by all units of government within Pinellas County. The enclosed Program Announcement provides an overview of these funds and can be used by local units of government to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime and to improve the criminal justice system. Please note that the Program Announcement includes information from the U.S. Department of Justice relating several areas of national focus and its priorities to help maximize the effectiveness of the ByrneIJAG funding. As a condition of participation in this program, the units of government in each county must reach a consensus concerning the expenditure of these funds. This consensus must include the projects to be implemented as well as the agency responsible for such implementation. Developing such consensus will require someone to exercise leadership and assume a coordinating role in the development of applications for these funds. FDLE recommends that the Board of County Comrr~issioners assume this responsibility. In the event the county declines to serve in this capacity, the Department will request the governing body of each municipality in the county, in descending order of population, to serve as the coordinating unit of government. Service. Integrity Respect Quality
