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 Loc al
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.

The allocation of funding is as follows:
(Bellevue and Burien funds were distributed along the same percentages as DOJ
allocation and Seattle absorbs 3.7% administration fee.)
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 MOU Contract with all participating jurisdictions.
VI. Funds Remaining at End of Grant
If an agency has funds remaining that it will not spend and no extension is requested, all
parties agree that the funds will be re-obligated to Seattle within the final three months
of the grant. Notification between Seattle and the agency willing to forgo funds will
occur three months prior to the end of the period of performance.
