(18) December 16, 2002 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 18
Department. At that time, the City Council requested that staff return with the status of the
program and potential funding for the second semester of the 2002-03 school year.
Chief of Police Kenneth Small presented a PowerPoint slide show titled Huntington Beach
Police Department D.A.R.E. Program Update that was included in the agenda packet.
Councilmember Houchen inquired of Police Chief. Small as to whether if funds were raised
privately could the DARE Program continue.
Police Chief Small stated that if the Police Department receives funding a program could be
designed around the monies raised. He informed Council that the second school semester
starts the end of January so funding would be needed by then in order to continue the program.
Police Chief Small responded to Councilmember Houchen's inquiry regarding her view that it is
important to have a functioning program in order to qualify for grant funding. He stated that this
has not been his experience with grants. Chief Small explained various procedures that would
be followed if and when funding is received for this program.
Councilmember Coerper stated that this program is important to children and that he would like
to delay the decision to see what kind of funding is available.
Chief Small responded to Councilmember Cook stating that the two officers used for the DARE
Program are patrol officers and their salaries are funded from the General Fund. The funding
that is needed is to offset the overtime necessary to participate in the program.
Mayor Pro Tern Green received c0nfirmation from Police Chief'Small that the two' requests for
grant funding that the Police Department applied for were not granted; that if other grants are
being applied for he could not estimate how long it would take.
Further discussion was held among Council and Police Chief Small in regard to delaying the
decision. Councilmember Houchen stated her belief that the intention of this agenda item is to
give the Police Chief direction while still working on funding.
