Participating agencies will receive a percentage of the awarded monies. In determining
the percentage, the following method will be utilized to determine the amount:
1. The percentage of offenders within your jurisdiction in relationship to the total
registered offenders within Kitsap County.
2. That percentage of the total award amount minus 50% is your total award
amount.
Example: 816 registered offenders within Kitsap County, with 82 offenders within an
agency's jurisdiction is 10 % of the total offenders.
10% times the award amount (i.e. $171,340.69) = $17,134.07 X 50% = $8,567.03.
• A minimum of $1,000 will be awarded to each participating agency.
