at least two counties must participate; if only two counties participate, the largest municipality within each county must also participate; and if three or more counties participate, the cities are not required to participate. In 2014, the Council established additional criteria for all funded drug task force agencies. All funded multi-jurisdictional drug task force agencies must have a minimum of four full-time task to ensure that each MJDTF has ample support force agents plus one supervisory Commander and enough manpower to guarantee safe operations. Should the number of task force agents fall below this criterion, the agency must submit a plan and timeline to the Council detailing the steps they will take to move into compliance. Application Review Applications will be reviewed and assessed by the Council and its designated representatives considering the following: Past compliance with all financial and programmatic reporting requirements; Overall quality and completeness of the application; Demonstration of clear, measurable, and appropriate grant project objectives; Demonstration of need including geographic location, local demographics, local statistics, other financial resources, etc.; and Adequate correlation between the cost of the project and the objective(s) to be achieved. Only complete applications received by the deadline will be reviewed. When an application is received by the Council, there is no commitment on the part of the Council to fund an application or to fund it at the amount requested. All areas of the budget are subject to review and approval. Decisions related to these budget areas are based on both eligibility and reasonableness. The Council has full discretion to determine the reasonableness of budget items based on both objective and subjective decision-making tools. See "Restrictions on Use of Funds" subsection below to determine whether budget items requested are allowable prior to submitting your budget. Applications for funding will undergo several reviews. At any point during these reviews, a decision to not fund a project or any part thereof may be made. These decisions are within the complete discretion of the Council. Funding Decisions All funding decisions related to the JAG program applications received in response to this solicitation are made by the Council and are based on the availability of funding and recommendations of the review panel to the Criminal Justice System Advisory Committee. The Council will inform the applicant of funding decisions through a grant award. Applicants should not make assumptions regarding funding decisions until they have received official written notification of award or denial signed by either the Governor and/or Council Director.
