Statement of Issue:
The Police Department has received notification of the Fiscal Year 2005-2006 award amount
up to $300,000 from the County of Orange for the Supplemental Law Enforcement Service
Fund (SLESF). This funding is a pass through grant from the State of California, Citizens
Option for Public Safety (COPS) funding program. In order to comply with the State
requirement regarding this funding, City Council approval is needed of the spending plan.
City Council approval is also requested for acceptance of the grant and to authorize
expenditure of the funds.
Funding Source:
No match will be required for this grant.
Recommended Action: Motion to:
1. Approve the spending plan for the Fiscal Year 2006-2007 SLESF grant, and
2. Accept the grant award up to $300,000 from the County of Orange SLESF for funding
cycle year 2006/2007, and

REQUEST FOR ACTION
MEETING DATE: August 21, 2006 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PD-06-010
4 Authorize the Chief of Police to expend up to $300,000, plus any accrued interest on
technology associated with patrol related equipment as described, and
5. Appropriate up to $300,000, plus any accrued interest to be expended on patrol related
equipment.
Alternative Action(s): Motion to:
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. This bill created the Citizens
Option for Public Safety Program (COPS), which provided $100 million statewide to be used
exclusively for front line law enforcement services. This program has been ongoing, but
required 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 up to $300,000
for fiscal year 2006-2007. This funding is provided by October of each year.
This is the eleventh 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:
Airborne Imaging Systems and its related expenses including installations, associated
parts, and training cost.
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.

meet one of the following criteria; 1) The request is for an unanticipated emergency, 2) the
request is required to implement labor negotiations, or 3) The request will be offset by related
new revenues.
This request meets criteria #3 and will be fully offset by grant funds.
