Subject: Byrne Formula Grant 51 % Letter
Background Summary:
In order to obtain money under the Byrne Formula Grant, the chief elected officials from 51 % of the
municipalities representing 51 % of the population of a county must sign a letter agreeing as to how the money
will be spent. The Byrne Formula Grant has partially funded the cities DUI enforcement program for the past
four years (2005/2006 to 2007/2008). With the end of DUI enforcement program, the lack of available funding
made the start of a new Ocoee program impossible. As this year's monies have been drastically reduced, the
participating agencies have opted to pool the available monies to support a county-wide Electronic Surveillance
Support Team (ESST).
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners authorize the Mayor to sign the Byrne Formula
Grant Letter in compliance with State of Florida Rule llD-9, F.A.C., approving the distribution of $ 182.897
(allocation available) of Federal Fiscal Year 2008 JAGC/Byrne Formula Grant Program funds for the projects
within Orange County?
Recommendations
It is respectfully recommended the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners authorize the Mayor to
sign the Byrne Formula Grant Letter approving the distribution of available funds for the projects within Orange
County.
