Do counties have to wait for plan approval to start using the second allocation monies?
Yes. It is important that you work with the assigned BOC Field Representative/Consultant to assure that all necessary requirements are completed and approved. Once the county has submitted the final JJCPA Plan Modification to the BOC, it will be approved within 30 days. All plan modifications are due no later than May 1, 2002. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU WORK CLOSELY WITH YOUR BOC ASSIGNED STAFF TO EXPEDITE REVIEW OF YOUR DRAFT DOCUMENTS PRIOR TO SUBMITTING THE RESOLUTION AND APPLICATION TO YOUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND BEFORE FINAL SUBMITTAL TO THE BOC. Include sufficient time in your schedule for the county Board of Supervisors to review and approve the Plan.
