Ingram, City Manager FROM: Keith Kilmer, Chief of Police SUBJECT: ALLOCATION OF STATE CITIZENS' OPTIONS FOR PUBLIC SAFETY (COPS) FUNDS - 2012/2013 (SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES FUND - SLESF) GRANT SUMMARY OF REQUEST: It is requested that a Public Hearing be held for the acceptance of funds provided under State Assembly Bill AB3229, Chapter 134, and that at the conclusion of that hearing that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6308 approving the proposed expenditure of these funds. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: In 1996, State Assembly Bill AB 3229, Chapter 134, established the Citizens' Options for Public Safety (COPS) Program to provide funding to eligible jurisdictions. Pursuant to the current provisions of AB 3229, monies allocated from the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) to recipient entities must be expended exclusively to provide front line law enforcement services. These funds must be used exclusively for personnel, equipment, or programs that support front line law enforcement services and by statute cannot be used to supplant any existing funding for law enforcement services provided by that entity. Legislation related to these funds requires that all reporting mandates are met and that these funds be expended in the prescribed fiscal year to avoid forfeiture of the funds. The City has received notification that the 2012/13 state budget appropriated funds to Orange County, and based on population, Seal Beach is expected to receive approximately $100,000. As previously stated, these funds must be expended for "front line nhunicipal _ police services, in accordance with written requests submitted by the Chief of Police of that city or the Chief Administrator of the law enforcement agency that Agenda Item N provides police services to that city. These written requests shall be acted upon by the City Council." Government Code §30061 [c][2]. It is recommended that these funds be accepted and supplement the Police Department's existing front line services in the following manner: The anticipated $100,000 will be used to fund overtime pay for police personnel to enhance frontline community policing and problem solving, related technology, equipment, and training exclusively dedicated to policing efforts, and crime prevention. The SLESF Grant has been a reoccurring grant that continues to be important to the Police Department. The grant funds several current Police Department programs that might otherwise require alternative funding sources or elimination. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no Environment Impact related to this item. LEGAL ANALYSIS: The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The funds must be expended by June 30, 2013. No City funds will be involved. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6308 accepting the 2012/13 SLESF/COPS funding of approximately $100,000; that the established SLESF be authorized to accept such funds; and authorize the City Manager to expend the funds as detailed in the 2012/2013 Planned Expenditure list.
