DATE: July 28, 2008
' TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: David Carmany, City Manager
FROM: Jeff Kirkpatrick, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: REPORT OF CITIZENS OPTION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
FUND 2007-2008 EXPENDITURES.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Staff requests the City Council accept and file a report of expenditures from the
2007-2008 Citizens Option for Public Safety Supplemental Law Enforcement
Services Fund (COPS-SLESF). This report is required in compliance with
California Government Code §30063.
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 (SLESF)~ 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 Council approved a FY2007-2008 proposed expenditure request
pursuant this grant at its August 13, 2007 meeting. As required in the controlling
sections, a summary of those expenditures is as follows and will be reported to
the Orange County Supplemental Law Enforcement Oversight Committee
(BEFOG):
• Additional patrol rifles with supplemental equipment and training
Bicycles for beach patrol duties
• Radar equipment for traffic enforcement
Agenda Item F

• Disaster preparedness supplies and equipment
• Taser electric stun tools

• Community policing program overtime
• Community policing program equipment, software, and training
Integrated Law and Justice Agency of Orange County member agency
fees
• All training costs associated with equipment and software purchased with
SLESF funds
As previously stated, these funds were 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].
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. However, these funds provided significant support for the Police
Department's community policing and front-line law enforcement efforts and
activity without supplanting existing programs. No general fund monies were
expended for these front-line law enforcement services. Instead, $212,210.30 of
COPS-SLESF grant funds were expended.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council accept and file this report. Staff will forward
the appropriate reporting paperwork along with the accompanying resolution
indicating acceptance of these expenditures.
