Department of Justice (DOJ) <br />Office of Justice Programs <br />Washington, D.C. 20531Office of the Assistant Attorney General <br />Commissioner Brett Wachsmith <br />Kittitas County <br />205 West 5th Ave Suite 108 <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926-2887 <br />Dear Commissioner Wachsmith: <br />On behalf of Attorney General William P. Barr, it is my pleasure to inform you that the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. <br />Department of Justice (DOJ), has approved the application by Kittitas County for an award under the OJP funding opportunity <br />entitled "Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Abuse Site-based Program: Local or Tribal Applications." The <br />approved award amount is $600,000. These funds are for the project entitled Kittitas County COSSAP Project. <br />The award document, including award conditions, is enclosed. The entire document is to be reviewed carefully before any <br />decision to accept the award. Also, the webpage entitled "Legal Notices: Special circumstances as to particular award <br />conditions" (ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardReqts.htm) is to be consulted prior to an acceptance. Through that <br />"Legal Notices" webpage, OJP sets out -- by funding opportunity -- certain special circumstances that may or will affect the <br />applicability of one or more award requirements. Any such legal notice pertaining to award requirements that is posted <br />through that webpage is incorporated by reference into the award. <br /> <br />Please note that award requirements include not only award conditions, but also compliance with assurances and certifications <br />that relate to conduct during the period of performance for the award. Because these requirements encompass financial, <br />administrative, and programmatic matters, as well as other important matters (e.g., specific restrictions on use of funds), it is <br />vital that all key staff know the award requirements, and receive the award conditions and the assurances and certifications, as <br />well as the application as approved by OJP. (Information on all pertinent award requirements also must be provided to any <br />subrecipient of the award.) <br />Should Kittitas County accept the award and then fail to comply with an award requirement, DOJ will pursue appropriate <br />remedies for non-compliance, which may include termination of the award and/or a requirement to repay award funds. <br />Please direct questions regarding this award as follows: <br /> - For program questions, contact Jocelyn Linde, Program Manager at (202) 598-1045; and <br /> - For financial questions, contact the Customer Service Center of OJP's Office of the Chief Financial Officer at <br /> (800) 458-0786, or at ask.ocfo@usdoj.gov. <br />We look forward to working with you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Encl. <br />Katharine T. Sullivan <br />Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General
