DATE: August 11, 2008
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: David Carmany, City Manager
FROM: Jeff Kirkpatrick, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: ALLOCATION OF STATE COPS FUNDS - 2008-2009
(Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund
Grant)
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
It is requested that a Public Hearing be opened and continued to the meeting of
August 25th.
• The hearing will be to consider the acceptance of funds provided under State
Assembly Bill AB3229, 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 funding to eligible 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 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 2007/08 State budget appropriated
funds to Orange County, and based on population, Seal Beach is expected to
receive approximately $100,000.
• These funds must be expended for "front line municipal police services, in
accordance with written requests submitted by the Chief of Police of that city or
Agenda Item
Page 2
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 §30061 [c][2].
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds must be expended by June 30, 2009. No City funds would be
involved.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that a public hearing be opened and continued to the meeting
of August 25th.
