DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION

District Attorney recommending the Board authorize the Chair to sign a budget transfer increasing revenues and appropriations through the use of Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture funds by $2,000 to partially fund costs associated with “The Drug Store Project”, a training that will be offered to 325 sixth grade youth in the Tahoe basin about the dangers of drug experimentation, use and abuse.

 

DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

The District Attorney, through agreement with the Federal Department of Justice (DOJ) receives monies for assets seized by partner agencies.  The funds are deposited into a trust fund in the County Treasury until such time the District Attorney requests use of the funds per the guidelines established in Equitable Sharing agreement with the DOJ.

 

Tahoe Youth and Family Services is sponsoring "The Drug Store Project", a day-long prevention activity on April 3, 2018, that will provide 325 6th grade youth in the Tahoe basin with a reality-based storyline provided by 45 local and state agencies about the dangers of drug experimentation, use and abuse.  Both pre and post survey information are electronically collected from all participants.  In addition a post event survey will be provided to all parents through the school's email access so the Program Coordinator may collect further information for their input.

 

Funds will help to cover costs of putting on the event which total approximately $26,000, including in-kind donations.
