Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Arizona Automobile Theft Authority Grant Agreement, Vertical Prosecution Program Fiscal Year 2011/2012, between the Arizona Automobile Theft Authority and the Cochise County Attorney's Office from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 in the amount of $41,958.74.
Background:
This grant provides the funding for continued enhanced prosecution of auto theft cases in Cochise County. From 2003 through 2009 we received grant funding from the Arizona Auto Theft Authority. These awards were focused on vertical prosecution, one attorney in the office was funded solely to prosecute auto theft cases. We were not awarded funding for 2009-2010 or 2010-2011. March of last fiscal year the Arizona Automobile Theft Authority contacted us to offer grant money for us to prosecute auto theft cases. With implementation of the Early Resolution Court, the vertical prosecution concept does not fit. Therefore, the Auto Theft Authority modified their requirements to allow us to prosecute auto theft cases through the Early Resolution Court process and agreed to fund one prosecutor at 50%. We were awarded funding for a 50% prosecutor for FY 11-12.
Fiscal Impact & Funding Sources: Arizona Automobile Theft Authority is providing funding in the amount of $41,958.74, which will fund 50% of Dan Aker’s salary and EREs.
