Agenda Item Text:
Approve Memorandum of Understanding 2016-144 between the Department of Public Safety and the Cochise County Sheriff's Office for a total of $70,000 to be used for enforcement of immigration, human smuggling, drug smuggling, gangs and employer sanction laws and/or County jail costs relating to illegal immigration.
Background:
These are recurring funds that we have been receiving for several years. The amount of the funding varies from year-to-year. As provided in the memorandum of understanding, the funds can be utilized to reimburse the costs associated with border related issues. These include the costs of enforcement and incarceration of individuals who are arrested for smuggling, both human and drug.
These funds will be disbursed in two installments of $35,000. Once can be sent once the MOU is approved and the other will be received after April 1, 2017.
This MOU has been approved as to form by the County Attorney's Office.
