2. Allocation Greater Than $10,000 Allocations to units of local government are made based on a formula that takes into account local law enforcement expenditures for each unit and the average annual number of Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Part 1 violent crimes that each unt reports for the 3 most recent calendar years for which data is available. The Justice Research and Statistics Association provides the data to calculate JABG allocations. Pursuant to the program guidelines, if an allocation for a unit of local government is less than $10,000, they are not eligible for a single or individual allocation of program funds. However, this does not preclude such jurisdictions from applying collectively for program funds by entering into regional coalitions to attain the eligible grant level of $10,000. All jurisdictions have the option to request that their allocation be awarded to or combined with a larger or contiguous unit of government. 3. Community Coalition (Advisory Board) Eligible units of local government are required to have an advisory group representing the police, sheriff, prosecutor, state or local probation services, juvenile court, schools, business, and religious-affiliated, fraternal, nonprofit, or social service organizations involved in crime prevention. Additional representation may be added as appropriate. Units of local government may utilize members of other existing groups that focus on youth in lieu of establishing another, provided that the membership of such meets the preceding membership requirements. The advisory board should serve as a body for general oversight, make recommendations for the distribution of program funds and evaluate funded activities. There is no specified timeline for the advisory board to meet; however, it would seem regular meetings (i.e. quarterly or semi-annually) would be necessary to accomplish these duties. 4. Coordinated Enforcement Plan The advisory board must develop a coordinated enforcement plan for reducing juvenile crime. The plan should be based upon an analysis of juvenile justice system needs. The analysis should determine the most effective use of funds within the twelve purpose areas to achieve the greatest impact on reducing juvenile delinquency, improving the juvenile justice system, and increasing accountability for juvenile offenders. 5. Matching Funds Requirement Federal funds may not exceed 90% of total program costs, including administrative costs. Therefore, matching contributions need to be made for ten percent (10%) of the total program costs, with the exception of construction of permanent corrections facilities, which requires a fifty percent (50%) match. The total program costs equal the Federal award amount plus the cash match. To compute the cash match, divide the Federal award amount by 9. Page 2 of 6
