Bahorski, City Manager FROM: Michael F. Sellers, Chief of Police SUBJECT: 2002/03 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (State COPS) SUMMARY OF REQUEST_ It is requested that a Public Hearing be held to consider the acceptance of funds provided under State Assembly Bill AB 3229, Chapter 134 and that at the conclusion of that hearing, approval be granted for the proposed expenditure of these funds. BACKGROUND: In 1996, State Assembly Bill AB 3229, Chapter 134, established the Citizens' Options for Public Safety Program to provide funds to eligible local jurisdictions. Pursuant to the current provision of this bill, monies allocated from the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLEFSF) to recipient entities must be expended exclusively to provide front line law enforcement services. These funds must also be used to supplement existing 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 2002/03 State budget appropriated funds to Orange County will be available to the City of Seal Beach, based on population; however, the amount has not yet been identified. As previously stated, these fiords must be spend for 'front line municipal 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 provides police services to that city. These written requests shall be acted upon by the City Council. " Government Code Section 30061 [c][2]. Agenda item, —79— It is recommended that these funds be accepted and supplement our existing front line services in the following manner: Continuation of one Police Officer It is proposed that funding will continue to cover the salary and benefits of the additional police officer hired under the 2000/01 Supplemental Law Enforcement funding for a third year. FISCAL IMPACT: These funds were initially proposed to be part of a five (5) year funding cycle and the 2002 /03 grant is year three. The effort to secure the renewal of the funds for subsequent years will be determined by the legislature in the two succeeding years. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that a public hearing be held and that Council approval be given to the acceptance of the 2002/03 Supplemental Law Enforcement (State COPS) funding; that the established SLESF be authorized to accept such funds; and that approval be given to the Chief of Police to expend these funds as detailed in this report.
