This grant is to be shared with <br /> the Macon County Sheriff's Department(MCSO). The Decatur Police Department is to <br /> receive 75%and the Sheriff's Department is to receive 25% of the funds. <br /> The Decatur Police Department will be the administrator of the grant, thus all requests for <br /> reimbursement, including those requested by MCSO, are submitted by DPD. The City of <br /> Decatur will then receive all of the reimbursement funds, including those requested by <br /> MCSO. The City of Decatur then disburses the requested funds to MCSO. As such, an <br /> intergovernmental agreement between the City of Decatur and Macon County is being <br /> requested and presented. <br /> It should be noted that the JAG grant has been awarded to DPD numerous times in the past <br /> and the intergovernmental agreement between the two entities has been part of the <br /> administration of the grant. <br />
