A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, ENCOURAGING THE
CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL PLANNING
DISTRICTS.
I~HEREAS ,
WHEREAS,
the LEAA Program has been in existence for over ten years; and
California has developed the regional delivery system; and
WHEREAS, most cities and most counties have participated and have benefited
from the regional system; and
WHEREAS, the new LEAA legislation provides for "Entitlement Jurisdictions"
so that funding can be accomplished with less red tape; and
WHEREAS, the new legislation effectively reduces the authority of the State
to intervene in local criminal justice activities; and
WHEREAS, entitlement jurisdictions consist of:
I) The State; and
2) Cities over 100,000 population; and
3) Counties over 250,000 population; and
4) Any combination of such units with at least
250,000 population; and
WHEREAS, there are approximately thirty-seven entitlement jurisdictions as
set forth under 2 and 3 above; and
WHEREAS, over four hundred other jurisdictions are dependent upon the State
for LEAA funding unless they join together; and
WHEREAS, fragmentation of the criminal justice system must be avoided; and
WHEREAS, the joining of individual cities and counties together in entitlement
jurisdictions will enhance local control and maximize the use of
LEAA funds; and
WHEREAS, the joining together of cities and counties into entitlement
jurisdictions will make the combination equal to the State but not
autonomous.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council does hereby endorse the
concept of cities and counties joining together and creating an entitlement
jurisdiction,
and that the City of Seal Beach urges the California League of Cities (or the
County Supervisors Association of California) to adopt a resolution encouraging
the continued development of entitlement jurisdictions,
and further the City of Seal Beach supports the findings and recommendations
of the report by the chairmen of California's regional criminal justice planning
boards entitled "Equal But Not Autonomous" and urges those recommendations to be
an integral part of the implementation of the Law Enforcement Assistance Reform
Act in the State of California.
