• Grant Program Reporting
Definitions
Expenditures: Includes amounts expended and encumbered or otherwise legally obligated
during the reporting period.
Baseline Year: Expenditures for the period of October 1, 2000 to September 30, 2001 will
establish costs incurred to provide indigent defense services in the county during the period
identified as a baseline period. The amounts reported for the period will be compared to the
(annualized) amounts reported for the Expenditure Reporting Period to determine excess costs
associated with the implementation of the Fair Defense Act.
Expenditure Reporting Period: A county may select either the period of October 1, 2001 to
March 31, 2002 or January 1, 2002 to March 31, 2002 as the reporting period. Include all
expenditures incurred by the county to provide indigent defense services for the selected period.
Funding Worksheet: The purpose of the funding worksheet is to make a preliminary
• determination regarding the county's eligibility for grant funds. It also provides the county the
opportunity to explain any reduction of indigent defense expenditures from the baseline year.
Litigation Expenditures:
Attorney Fees: Reasonable attorney's fees for time spent in accordance with an adopted
schedule of fees. The county's adopted schedule of fees may be a set hourly rate for separate
types of services on which an attorney spends time and/or a flat rate for types of service. It is
assumed that the billing rate includes an allocation for the attorney's or firm's overhead such as
utilities and rent. No non-labor items such as car rental or hotel expense are shown in this
account.
Other Litigation Expenditures: Includes expenditures for:
Investigation - Costs expended for research and investigation of the crime or evidence,
such as investigators' costs, lab fees, medical exams, and psychological/psychiatric
examination.
Expert Witnesses - Costs expended for payment to expert witnesses used in a case, such as travel.
Other Litigation Expenditures - Expenses not included in the previous categories, such as
interpreter services and transcription services.
• Amounts paid for indigent defense support services must be approved by the judge presiding
over proceedings. Legal fees must be approved by the judge presiding over proceedings and
paid in accordance with a schedule of fees adopted by formal action of the judges of the county
courts, statutory courts, and district courts trying criminal and juvenile cases in the county.
ADMINISTRATIVE/INDIRECT EXPENSES:
Personnel: Salaries and wages, including fringe benefits. Fringe benefits include, but are not
limited to, the costs of leave, employee insurance, retirement, and unemployment benefits.
Travel and Training: Travel costs include transportation, meals and lodging and related,
incidental costs. This category may include travel for contracted personnel. Grant funds used
for travel expenses must be expended in accordance with state travel guidelines. Training (for
county employees only) includes registration fees or tuition if the course taken directly relates to
2
C
the administration of the county's indigent defense program.
Equipment: Tangible, non-expendable personal property with a useful life of more than one
year and an acquisition cost of $1,000 or more per unit, and any other item, regardless of cost,
that the county chooses to capitalize in its own accounting records. Equipment must be used in
direct support of the investigation and defense of crimes allegedly committed by indigent
defendants or in meeting the requirements of the Fair Defense Act.
Applicants must submit with their grant applications a list of all proposed equipment purchases
for approval. The Task Force or its designees may refuse any request for equipment. Decisions
regarding equipment will be made based on whether the grantee has demonstrated that the
requested equipment is necessary and reasonable in cost.
The Task Force will not approve grant funds for general agency use of vehicles or other
equipment.
Other Direct Expenditures: Costs directly related to the operation of the county's indigent
defense program that are not included in other expenditure category. These costs may include
office rent, utilities, office supplies, shared usage costs of office equipment, vehicle operating
expenses, paper, printing, postage, and educational resource materials. This category may also
include development costs for software and software upgrades to comply with the requirements
of the Fair Defense Act.
Any professional or contractual service must be in direct support of the investigation and defense
of an eligible offense or in meeting the requirements of the Fair Defense Act. Any contract or
agreement entered into by a grantee that obligates grant funds must be in writing and consistent
with Texas contract law.
Indirect Expenditures: Costs incurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one
cost objective and not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefited. Examples
would include financial services, human resources and other functions that support multiple
county programs. The Task Force may approve indirect costs in an amount not to exceed ten
percent of the approved direct costs in the grant award, unless the grantee has an approved cost-
allocation plan. If the applicant has a cost-allocation plan, the applicant should indicate the
indirect cost rate in the allocation plan as part of the application. The Task Force may request
documentation to verify approval of the grantee's indirect cost rate and may reject any approved
cost-allocation plan it believes is excessive.
Public Defender Overhead: Indirect expenditures allocated to the public defender's office.
This section is not applicable if the county does not have a public defender's office.
