DATE: August 25, 2008
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: David Carmany, City Manager
FROM: Jeff Kirkpatrick, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: ALLOCATION OF STATE COPS/SLESF FUNDS -
2008-2009
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
It is requested that a Public Hearing be held 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 (COPS) 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.
Government Code §30061 [c][2] requires that "the city council shall appropriate
existing and anticipated moneys exclusively to fund frontline municipal police
services, in accordance with written requests submitted by the chief of police...."
The written request is attached.
Agenda Item F
Page 2
It is recommended that these funds be accepted and supplement our existing
front line services in the following manner:
The anticipated $100,000 will be used to fund overtime pay for police personnel
to enhance frontline community policing and problem solving; related technology,
equipment, and training exclusively dedicated to policing efforts and disaster
preparedness.
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 held and that Council adopt
Resolution No. 5775 accepting the 2008/09 Supplemental Law Enforcement
Services Fund (State COPS) funding of approximately $100,000; that the
established SLESF be authorized to accept such funds.
