RE: 2021 Dubuque County Law Enforcement Task Force Grant, Subrecipient Funds
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council consideration for the
approval of the 2021 Dubuque County Law Enforcement Task Force Grant, with the
City of Dubuque as a subrecipient.
BACKGROUND:
The Governor's Office of Drug Control Policy (ODCP), under the Byrne-Justice
Assistance Grant Program (JAG), provides financial assistance to support a broad
range of activities to prevent and control drug-related crime and to improve the criminal
justice system. The JAG program places an emphasis on violent crime, drug offenses,
and serious offenders. This funding is applied for annually by the Dubuque County
Sheriff's Office and is submitted by the Dubuque Drug Task Force.
DISCUSSION:
Each year, Dubuque County participates with the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance Grant program, allowing the Dubuque Drug Task Force (DDTF) to obtain
funds used to support wages and benefits for one county narcotics investigator, and one
police department narcotics investigator. The Dubuque Drug Task Force completed an
application earlier this year, outlining their intentions for the funds. Again, this year,
Dubuque County received funding in support of Dubuque Drug Task Force investigative
activities.
The one-year award amount is $63,300 with a 25% match of$21,100, for a total of
$84,400. The funds are split evenly between the Dubuque County Sheriff's Department
and the Dubuque Police Department and are used for personnel wages and benefits.

DDTF investigative activities. The match will be made via budgeted funds already in
place for the DDTF investigator position. I recommend City Council accept the
subrecipient award amount.
ACTION REQUESTED:
City Council acceptance of$31,650, with a match of $10,550, as a subrecipient of a
Dubuque County Justice Assistance Grant award for fiscal year 2021.
