Appropriate $291,597, plus any accrued interest to be expended on patrol related equipment. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the grant and reject the grant funding from the County of Orange and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: In 1996, State Assembly Bill AB 3229 was signed into law. The bill created Citizens Option for Public Safety Program (COPS), which provided $100 million statewide to be used exclusively for front line law enforcement services. The program has been ongoing, however it requires a budget appropriation each fiscal year for continued funding. Each law enforcement agency is guaranteed $100,000 minimum. The total allocation to an agency is determined by a formula derived from the base amount and population figures provided by the Department of Finance. Based on our population, we received an award of $291,597 for fiscal year 2005-2006. This funding is provided by October of each year. This is the tenth (10t") year of funding for this grant. The grant requires that the funds be spent on front-line police service. The SLESF Oversight Committee, which is comprised of members of Orange County Sheriff's Department and involved citizens throughout Orange County, has requested that we define the intended use for the funds before acceptance of this grant. At this time, the intended project for this grant is to fund front line patrol equipment as follows: To purchase and provide funding to maintain specialized equipment for front line officers to utilize for SWAT and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) response and to maintain said equipment at the ready. Changing the planned expenditure for the funds is allowed and at the discretion of the police agency. No funds will be expended until the funding is received. Once funding is received, a defined plan for it will be developed according to the needs in the Police Department. When a defined plan for the funding is completed, any other city departments that could be affected by the purchase will be consulted for their opinion regarding the purchase.
