I. Participating Jurisdictions The participating jurisdictions, relevant to this MOU, in the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant are: • City of Auburn • City of Bellevue - declined • City of Burien • Des Moines • City of Federal Way • City of Kent • King County • City of Renton • City of SeaTac • City of Seattle • City of Tukwila II. Background and Purpose Proposed to streamline justice funding and grant administration, the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program allows states, tribes, and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own local needs and conditions. JAG blends previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Programs to provide agencies with the flexibility to prioritize and place justice funds where they are most needed. III. Disparate Certification Jurisdictions certified as disparate must submit a joint application for the aggregate of funds allocated to them, specifying the amount of funds that are to be distributed to each of the units of local government and the purposes for which the funds will be used, and indicating who will serve as the applicant/fiscal agent for the joint funds. The above jurisdictions are certified as disparate. IV. Fiscal Agent and Fund Allocation The City of Seattle will act as the applicant and will serve as the fiscal agent for the joint funds. The City of Seattle will charge a 3% administrative fee to all sub-recipients for these services. Page 1 of 3 Allocation of the declined Bellevue funds has been made along the percentages that DOJ allocated each agency their JAG funds. The allocation of funding is as follows: Auburn $32,186.32 R^I 0 Burien $23,787.67 Des Moines $11,877.21 Federal Way $40,522.46 Kent $36,287.75 King County $204,255.81 Renton $29,159.75 SeaTac $16,930.34 Seattle $270,086.17 Tukwila $16,273.52 Total Allocation $681,367.00 V. Project Allocations and Reporting Participating jurisdictions are responsible for identifying their own projects for funding, and for providing project information to the identified fiscal agent, the City of Seattle, for purposes of submitting one joint application on behalf of all participating jurisdictions. Upon receipt of award documents, and prior to expense of funds pertaining to the JAG Program, the fiscal agent will enter into Memorandums of Understanding - Contracts with all participating jurisdictions. VI.

The City of Kent officially allocate the funds which would be distributed to us, from City of Bellevue, to City of Seattle for the FY17 JAG cycle.

YES • NO Brief Explanation of Document: We have been working with the City of Seattle and Department of Justice to receive the attached MOUs so that the City of Kent can begin to spend awarded funds from the 2017, 2018, and 2019 Justice Assistance Grants. These are annual formula type of grants we receive each year. They expire three years after the award fiscal year begins (October 1). Since the 2017 and 2018 JAG awards are delayed, we will most likely be authorized an extension. Due to the City of Bellevue now not accepting their formula awarded grant funds, each city has to have the MOUs signed again (2017 and 2018). The 2019 JAG MOU is new and we just received it. Additionally, we are required to submit the attached letter signed by the Mayor releasing our interest in the City of Bellevue funds they turned down.
