TITLE: Acceptance of Funds from the California Board of State and Community
Corrections
ABSTRACT:
The Police Department seeks to gain City Council approval to accept Local Assistance law enforcement
funds from the California Board of State and Community Corrections, so that the City can receive
$24,646.95 in state funds and allocate these funds to front -line law enforcement services.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Authorize acceptance of funds received and posted as Fiscal Year 2014 -2015 revenues in Account
No. 1820 -486F: and
b) Approve Budget Amendment No. 15BA -022 appropriating Local Assistance law enforcement funds
from the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) in the amount of $24,646.95 for
front -line law enforcement services by increasing expenditure appropriations for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015 in
Account #1830-7041.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The Budget Amendment appropriates $24,646.95 in increased expenditure appropriations for Fiscal Year
2014 -2015. The revenue was posted to Account No. 1820 -486F for the Police Department and the
expenditure will be appropriated to the Patrol Overtime, Safety Account No. 1830 -7041, in the Police
Department.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
Legislation associated with the California 2011 Budget Act established the BSCC as an independent
entity, effective July 1, 2012. The BSCC assumed the previous functions of the Corrections Standards
Authority, as well as other public safety programs previously administered by the California Emergency
Management Agency. 23 -1
Due to the steady erosion of funding for city police agencies over the last several years, local communities
have experienced significant public safety impacts. To help mitigate these reductions, funds were
appropriated to create a new grant program for city police departments. This funding recognizes the need
for city law enforcement to be able to provide front -line services based upon their own regional needs.
Analysis:
As part of the 2012 Budget Act, $24 million for Local Assistance was appropriated for city police
departments, with the allocation formula to be developed by the BSCC in consultation with the Department
of Finance. The California Police Chiefs Association, on behalf of local law enforcement agencies,
presented to the BSCC an allocation formula based upon regional needs in each county. The BSCC
recognized the importance of local agencies being able to best identify their own needs with regards to the
use of resources and approved the formula.
Orange County agencies were allocated a total of approximately $1.43 million for 2012, and the City of
Garden Grove was identified as the fiduciary agent for Orange County regarding this funding. Per the
collective decision of county law enforcement executives, the City of Garden Grove distributed funds to
each agency based upon population. This method determined the 2012 allocation to the Newport Beach
Police Department to be $41,048.20. In 2013, the allocation was $47,042.65.
In 2014, Orange County agencies were allocated a total of approximately $2.34 million and the City of
Garden Grove was again identified as the fiduciary agent for Orange County regarding this funding. Per
the collective decision of county law enforcement executives, the City of Garden Grove distributed a 2014
allocation of $24,646.95 to the Newport Beach Police Department. The Newport Beach Police
Department will utilize these funds for special enforcement operations designed to mitigate the impacts of
AB 109 and Proposition 36.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality
Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as
defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3,
because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
