Administrative overhead $ 2.056 AGGREGATE TOTAL $411,147 1999-274 CITIZENS OPTION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY (COPS) EXPENDITURE PLAN NARRATIVE FOR FY 1999/00 AUTOMATION INTEGRATION SERVICES In the past two years, the Police Department has completed a network upgrade project, implemented a new CAD/RMS system, and provided field report takers with laptops. In FY 1999/00, we will replace the mobile data transmitters (MDT's) in our police units with mobile data computers (MDC's) to enhance voiceless communication and take advantage of emerging technology. These new systems will require further integration to optimize the efficiency and productivity of our employees. This funding will pay for the following items. . $66,500 in additional programming or contractual assistance from our automation vendors. . $33,500 in salary and benefits for one additional MIS Public Safety Programmer for the remaining eight months of FY 1999/00. STAFFING CONTINGENCIES Our general fund overtime allocation is, by practice, substantially under what we spend. To a large extent, salary savings are used to make up the difference. An additional offset will be achieved by earmarking funding for staffing contingencies in Patrol and Dispatch, to include extraordinary overtime, part-time salaries, and contractual services. This funding will be allocated as follows. . $81,921 for extraordinary overtime. . $15,000 for part-time Police call takers and dispatchers. . $10,000 for contractual service desk employees. LEAD SERGEANTS POSITION On 11/1/99, the Police Department will be implementing the Lead Sergeants position. This program will place senior Sergeants in Watch Commander positions. $29,000 has been earmarked to cover shift differential pay for these positions. DOWNTOWN SECURITY ENHANCEMENT Part I (serious crime) is continuing to decline in the downtown business district as well as citywide. Funding for additional part-time security officers will enhance public safety in the downtown business district and provide a safe environment for established and new businesses to thrive. These security officers will be under the direction of the police sergeant assigned to the Carousel Mall. I I 1999-274 RENOVATION OF NEW AREA D COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICE The current Area D Community Service Office does not provide a professional image for the City or Police Department and has insufficient space to accommodate the employees assigned to work out of this office. The area commander is currently evaluating alternate locations in which to relocate the community service office based on site selection criteria. Funding for renovation and moving costs is needed to prepare the selected site as a professional community service office. BLOCK GRANT LOCAL MATCH The Police Department is the recipient of $865,531 in federal funding from the FY 1999 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant award. There is a mandatory ten-percent (10%) cash match requirement of $96,170 that will be derived from the Citizens Option for Public Safety program. FY 1999 Block Grant funding will be used towards the completion of Phase II of the Police MDC project, to cover the salary and benefits of seven positions to augment existing City staff and provide funding for staffing contingencies in Patrol and Dispatch. ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD The Citizens Option for Public Safety program allows municipalities to earmark 0.005% of the annual allocation for administrative overhead. These funds can be used to cover ongoing city operations associated with grant activities such as payroll preparation, purchasing of equipment and goods, and advertising. 1999-274 City of San Bernardino San Bernardino Police Department Interoffice Memorandum From: Fred Wilson, City Administrator Lee Dean, Chief of Police ~ To: Subject: Overview of Police Grants Date: October 19, 1999 Copies Captain Robert Curtis Pursuant to Monday's, October 4, 1999, City Council meeting you requested an updated overview of existing and new grants received by the Police Department. The following information is responsive to your request. Through our discussions and transmittals you have or will be receiving the following information regarding our COPS grant for 22 police officer positions and the intended use of new grant funds. . An updated Grant Matrix as of October 18, 1999, of existing and new Police grants. . Individual summary sheets for Police grants. . Our March 22, 1999, Revised Retention Plan for all sworn and non- sworn positions federally funded by the COPS Office. . A Request for Council Action, staff report, resolution and proposed expenditure plan for the FY 1999/2000 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) award. Council meeting date of November 1, 1999. . A Request for Council Action, staff report, resolution and proposed expenditure plan for the FY 1999/2000 Citizens' Option for Public Safety Grant (COPS Option) award. Council meeting date of November 1,1999. Our Revised Retention Plan was submitted to the COPS Office after careful analysis and deliberation. We have made what we believe is a persuasive case that the City's ongoing economic hardships will preclude us from retaining all 22 of the COPS grant positions expiring in mid-April 2000. FY 1999/2000 - Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG . Federal) On October 4, 1999, the City Council approved our resolution to accept a $865,531 LLEBG award for FY 1999/2000. This grant provides funding to law enforcement agencies "for the purposes of reducing crime and improving public safety, Federal funds can not be used to supplant State or local funds, but instead must be used to increase the amount of funds that would be available 1HE SBPD IS COMMIITED TO PROVIDING, PROGRESSIVE QUALITY POUCE SERVICE; A SAFE ENVIRONMENrTO IMPROVE 1HE QUALITY OF LIFE; A REDUCTION IN CRlME 1HROUGH PROBLEM RECOGNITlON AND PROBLEM SOLVING 1999-274 Page 2 from State and local sources." The funding agency, the Bureau of Justice Assistance, specially prohibits the use of LLEBG funds to pick up the local cost of retaining COPS grant officers. FY 1999/2000 - Citizens' Option for Public Safety (COPS Option - State) We have received our FY 1999/2000 allocation of $411,147 from the Cops Option (Brulte) program. Sections 30071/30075 of the California Government Code codifies AB 3229 (Brulte), which created the COPS option program. Section 30072 (a) states, in part, "these funds shall be expended exclusively to fund front line law enforcement services. These moneys shall supplement existing services, and shall not be used to supplant, any existing funding." 'E " ~~ ~l!
