<br />Dcae Sir or Madam:
<br />October ]Q, 2007
<br />You were informed in Secretary Beck's letter dated June 2G, 2007 that youc county's appkcation Eor a Criminal Justice Partnership grant for Fiscal Year'
<br />2006-2007 had been approved. The exact amount could no[ be specified at that time since the state budget was still under review by the legislature. Based nn the
<br />amount appropriated by the General Assembly and m accordance with the funding formula established by starute, your county's grout awad amount for fiscal year
<br />2007-2008 is $ 125y33 with an effective date oEJuly 7, 2007.
<br />It is impormnt to note that in accordance with Senate Bill 622, beginning in fiscal yeaz 2007-2008 and continuing until amended, the funding formula
<br />changed, which resulted N all counties' funding amounts changing. This was primarily due to the elimination of finding caps, which, by statute, had been in place
<br />during fiscal years 2005-2006 and 2006-2007. During those two (2) yeazs, with those caps in place, counties' funding amounts were restricted from increasing more
<br />than 720% or being reduced more than 95%, but more importantly, allowed the funding amounts to be calculated in a manner which would allow no counties to
<br />receive any reductions in funding. With the aforementioned elimination of those funding caps, both substantial increases and decreases in funding arc possible, as
<br />the funding amounts are unrestricted, based solely on the following criteria:
<br />'Twenty-five percent (25 %) based on a fixed equal dollar amount for each county;
<br />Fifty percent (50%) based on the county shaze of the State population; and
<br />'twenty-five percent (25%) based on the intermediate punishment entry rote fox the county, using the total of the three most recent years of
<br />data available divided by the avenge county population for that same period.
<br />Since your final grant award amount is different from the amount you initially applied for, it is necessary that you submit a "Funding
<br />Modification form," which can be found on the CJPP home page a[ htm://ejQp.docstate.ne.us under IMS finks, On Line Forms, CJPP Fiscal Forms.
<br />This form is to be completed and remmed to the Division of Commmity Corrections, CJPP fiscal office is Raleigh by November 2, 2007. A sample of
<br />the "1+unding Modification form" is enclosed. For assistance with the completion of this form, or if you have question regazding your fundurg amount, contact
<br />,l'andra Shearin in the CJPP office in Raleigh at (919) 716-3116.
<br />Additionally, enclosed you will find a grant award contract, and "Designated Authority for Reimbursement Requests" forms, which aze to be completed
<br />and retuned by November 2, 2007. Please review these documents and inform all relevant parties of their responsibilities, including the county's fiscal staff It is
<br />necessary that the COUNTY'S AUTHORIZING OFFICIAL SIGN AND RETURN all documents to Valery Stephens (4250 MSC, Raleigh, NC 27699-4250)
<br />as soon as possible. r\Il documents and forms must be completed and on file in the Division of Community Corections CJPP office in Raleigh before
<br />reimbursements to the local county programs can begin.
<br />Again, I join the North Carolina State Criminal Justice Partnership Advisory Boazd and the Paztnership staff in thanking you for your continuing support
<br />of this hnportant effort.
<br />With kind personal regards, I remain
<br />12es ectfully,
