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 provisions 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 2010/11 State budget appropriated funds to Orange County, and based on population, Seal Beach is expected to receive approximately $100,000. As previously stated, 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 the Chief Administrator of the law enforcement agency that Agenda Item CC Page 2 provides police services to that city. These written requests shall be acted upon by the City Council." Government Code §30061 [c][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, crime prevention, and disaster preparedness. FISCAL IMPACT: The funds must be expended by June 30, 2011. No City funds would be involved. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that a public hearing be held and that Council adopt Resolution No. 6051 accepting the 2010/11 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (State COPS) funding of approximately $100,000; that the established SLESF be authorized to accept such funds; and that approval be given to the City Manager to expend these funds as detailed in this report.
