As a condition of participation in this program, the units of government in each county

recommends that the Board of County Commissioners assume this responsibility, In
the event the county declines to serve in this capacity, the Department will request the
governing body of each municipality in the county, in descending order of population. to

6/28/2011 Item 16.JA.
Chapter 11 D-9.005, Florida Administrative Code, requires that units of government in
each county reach consensus concerning the expenditure of these funds, including the
projects to be implemented and the agency responsible for such implementation.
Maximum coordination is required to meet this program requirement, and the
Department requests the county board of commissioners to serve as the coordinating
unit for all local governments within the county. The Chairman, Board of County
Commissioners, in each county so notified is requested to return to the Department a
statement of certification indicating the county's willingness to serve. This certification
must be returned within 30 days from the date of receipt of notification. In the event the
county declines to serve in this capacity, the Department will request the governing
body of each municipality in the county, in descending order of population, to serve as
the coordinating unit of government.
Each county or coordinating unit of government is encouraged to form a criminal justice
coordinating/planning group to identify and implement criminal justice priorities for the
county, to plan strategies to address those priorities, to identify areas of greatest need,
and to review all possible sources of revenue to make sure that funds go to the
programs or issues that need them most.
Furthermore. FDLE requires that units of government in each county reach consensus
concerning the expenditure of the JAG funds, including the projects to be implemented
and the agency responsible for such implementation. Each county must document this
consensus by submitting letters from at least 51 percent of the units of government
which also represent at least 51 percent of the population located in said county.
