system improvement projects designed to reduce the production, transfer and use of controlled
substances, reduce the incidence of drug-related violent crime, and make improvements to the
criminal justice system.
Based on the provisions of Rule Chapter 9B-61, Rorida Administrative Code. which
governs the administration of these grant funds, the Department of Community Affairs, Bureau

Obviously, these funds are not sufficient to meet the total needs of each unit of
government within the county. Therefore, Rule 9B-61.008, Ronda Administrative Code, requires
that, as a condition of participation in this program, the units of government in each county reach
consensus concerning the expenditure of these funds, including the project(s) to be implemented
and the agency responsible for such implementation.
Developing such consensus will require someone to exercise leadership and assume a
coordinating role in the development of an application(s) for these funds. The department
requests that the board of county commissioners assume this responsibility. Please complete
the encJosed Certification of Participation and return it to Clayton H. Wilder at the Bureau of
Community Assistance as soon as possible, but not later than 30 days from the date of receiving
this correspondence.
