Summary & Background
As a part of DOJ's in-depth monitoring, it was discovered that although Memorandums of Understanding had been issued, there were no fully signed sub-award agreements as requested by OJJDP for these two awards (however, the sub-awardees continued to engage in programming activities and were compensated for their work). We followed up multiple times and were told that the sub-awards agreements are pending approval and signature by the Board of Commissioners. Further delay could hinder their ability to complete required federal grant monitoring and compliance activities (and close the Issue for Resolution noted in the monitoring report). We would greatly appreciate your support and assistance to help ensure the County of Fulton remains compliant with federal grant requirements.
