SUBJECT: Proposed Resolution on Grant Amendment Procedures ,
LEAA and JJDPA Grants
The purpose of the proposed resolution is to vest in the St. Paul-Ramsey
County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council the authority necessary to
monitor Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) and Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention Action (JJDPA) projects which are
sponsored by the City of St. Paul . The resolution requires the Coordin-
ating Council to review proposed grant amendments.
The problem this resolution addresses is the independent revision of a
grant project by the project director without formal local review. In
the past there have been instances of project changes being approved by
the Minnesota Crime Control Planning Board and being implemented without
any local p�licy analysis takina place. Under the proposed procedure
grant adjus�ments will be reviewed by the Coordinating Council staff to
determine whether the project goals will be affected by the proposed
changes, and whether or not the changes are consistent with the policies
of St. Paul , the State of Minnesota, and the federal government.
The proposed resolution has been reviewed and approved by the Department
of Finance and Management Services. A resolution similar to the proposed
resolution was recently approved by the Board of Ramsey County Commissioners
for Ramsey County sponsored grants.
