"FISCAL REPORT 6739
By Mr. Houghten
IN RE: CRIME PREVENTION BUREAU GRANT APPLICATION - SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Finance Committee has reviewed subject grant application and reports the follOwing:
1. This is a 9-month grant, beginning on September 1, 1974 to June 30, 1975 for approximately
$107,797, with a possibility of renewal from July 1, 1975 to June 30, 1976 for approximately 5393,793.
2. This grant, as proposed, would, in the first nine months, require a County cash contribution
of $5,389 and on it's second year, a County cash contribution of $19,689.
3. Additionally, it contemplates hiring sever people during the initial grant period and
fifteen people during the second year of the grant.
4. After the second year it is doubtful that Federal and State support for this grant will be
forthcoming. However, if such support is forthcoming, it will probably be on a 50-50 basis.
5. In view of the uncertainty of continued Federal and State support for the program, and
taking into account Oakland County priorities for it's available resources, the Finance Committee
recommends against applying for this grant.
Mr. Chairman, I move that this report and the subject grant application be referred to the
Public Protection and Judiciary Committee for their review and recommendation,
