SUBJECT: Acceptance of Department of Justice Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance
Grant
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with
information to consider accepting a Department of Justice Edward Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance Grant.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the acceptance of the Department of Justice
Grant in the amount of$146,120 and authorize the Chief of Police to sign the grant agreement.
BACKGROUND
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program (42 U.S.C. 3751(a)) is the
primary provider of federal criminal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions. JAG funds
support all components of the criminal justice system, from multi-jurisdictional drug and gang
task forces to crime prevention and domestic violence programs, courts, corrections, treatment,
and justice information sharing initiatives.
The JAG formula includes a state allocation consisting of a minimum base allocation with the
remaining amount determined on population and Part 1 violent crime statistics and a direct
allocation to units of local government. Once the state allocation is calculated, 60 percent of the
funding is awarded to the state and 40 percent to eligible units of local government. A joint
grant application was submitted including Kane County, City of Aurora and the Village of
Carpentersville. The $146,120 grant award was allocated to the City of Elgin ($46,851), City of
Aurora ($84,358) and the Village of Carpentersville ($14,911). Kane County has waived its
right to the funds.
The Elgin Police Department is proposing to expand our surveillance capabilities in an attempt to
capture gang members as well as drug dealers involved in criminal activities. These efforts will
greatly enhance our ability to successfully arrest and prosecute these individuals. The JAG

Grant allocation would allow the purchase of additional covert cameras and recording systems
primarily for use in vehicles to surreptitiously capture criminal activity. The systems will
transmit video via the internet to the Elgin Police Department for remote viewing and will also
allow for remote control of the systems functions. Additionally, we would purchase three DVR
recorders for the capturing of covert video primarily from fixed sites; purchase a Beacon for
covert operations that would benefit from a '`trip wire" style of silent notification of activity, as
well as two GPS data loggers to covertly record vehicle movement.
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Department of Justice grant award equals $146,120 with Elgin's share totaling $46,851. The
grant requires, among other special conditions, compliance with the organizational audit
requirements of OMB Circular A-133 which would entail additional audit fees up to $1,000.
There are sufficient funds budgeted ($33,210) and available ($12,120) in the General Fund,
Police Department, Misc. Professional Services, account number 010-2301-731.30-99 to pay for
the additional audit services. For grant purposes, the City of Elgin is considered the sole grantee
and therefore the Police Department will be responsible for coordination, administration and
adherence of all grant requirements among the three participating police agencies.
LEGAL IMPACT
None
ALTERNATIVES
1. The City may choose to accept the Grant.
2. The City may choose to not accept the grant and continue to explore additional funding
sources.
Respectfully submitted for Council consideration.
