Background:
Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) provides an annual allocation to local government agencies for activities that prevent and control crime. The FY2024 JAG Countywide (JAGC) Allocation for Seminole County is $117,744.
The grant guidelines require that all units of government in the county reach a consensus concerning the distribution of these funds for projects within the FDLE specified focus areas. The FDLE recommends that facilitation of this consensus and coordination of the application process be handled by Seminole County. Staff is requesting Board acceptance of this role by execution of a Certificate of Participation naming Kelly Welch as the designated coordinator.
In compliance with the grant guidelines, Ms. Welch will attend a meeting with representatives from each of the seven (7) municipalities and the Sheriff's Office to achieve the required consensus for the use of the funding.
