On September 15, 1999,the County of Orange Auditor-Controller, David E. Sundstrom, made notification to the City of Seal Beach that the 1999/00 State Budget appropriated $100-million and that the City's share of these funds is $60,400, which has been allocated based on population in accordance with Government Code 30061(b)(3). As in the original report to Council (9/30/96), these funds remain defined as only to be spent 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].
