This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlines the responsibilities and protocols

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 3.7% administrative fee for these services.
