AGENDA REPORT • ----- - -- = - -- -
DATE: October 28, 2002
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Michael F. Sellers, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT - 2002
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
It is requested that the Council convene a Public Hearing to consider the acceptance and
appropriation of grant funding of $15,815 of Local Law Enforcement Block Grant funds
recently made available to the Police Department.
BACKGROUND:
At their meeting of July 8, 2002, the City Council approved the Police Department's
intent to apply for grant funding of $15,815 provided by the Bureau of Justice Assistance,
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Program. These funds are provided to
assist law enforcement in their efforts to reduce crime and improve public safety. As
with previous LLEBG grants received by the City annually in 1996 through 2001, funds
received under the terms of this grant must supplement and not supplant existing
operating funds budgeted for an established designated program.
The Seal Beach Police Department proposes to use these funds to enhance crime
prevention programs involving community oriented policing efforts in partnership with
community residents and businesses. To this end, the focus would be on opportunities to
detect, control and investigate crime in business districts.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Acceptance of these funds requires a matching contribution by the City of $1,757. The
Police Department is proposing that these funds be approved for allocation from the
General Fund's Transfer Out Department 080 in the fiscal year 2002/2003 budget.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Council approve the acceptance of LLEBG 2002 grant funding of
$15,815 and appropriation for use of these funds to enhance crime prevention programs
involving community oriented policing efforts in partnership with community residents
and businesses. It is also recommended that Council approve the allocation of the $1,757
from the General Fund for the fiscal year 2002/2003 for the City's required match to
accept this grant by adoption of the attached budget amendment..
