BACKGROUND AB 3229 (Brulte), the Citizens' Option for Public Safety Program (COPS Option) declared that there was an urgent need for additional resources at the local level to fight crime and protect public safety. The State of California estimates that the COPS program will receive $105 million for cities and counties to supplement front-line law enforcement services. Forty percent of the COPS Option funds are allocated to local police and sheriff's departments based on the most recent January population estimates by the Department of Finance. In FY 09/10, the San Bernardino Police Department's share of the $105 million is $316,778. This $316,778 is approximately $201,728 higher than the final allocation of$115,050 received in FY 2008- 09. At the time the FY 2009-10 Adopted Budget was approved, the amount of the FY 2009-2010 COPS Option allocation was unknown, so an estimate of$200,000 was included in the budget. This $316,778 is approximately $116,778 higher than the FY 2009-2010 budgeted amount, which will result in budget savings to the General Fund in the same amount, $116,778. The Chief of Police has prepared the FY 2009-2010 COPS Option Expenditure Plan (Attachment "A") outlining his recommendations for the use of these funds. As in the prior year, the recommendation is to continue to use these funds to offset the cost of 4 existing and filled police officer positions. Estimated total cost for the 4 police officer positions is $498,141. The grant will cover about 64% of the cost of the positions and the General Fund portion of the costs has been included in the FY 2009-2010 Adopted Budget. FINANCIAL IMPACT The following matrix outlines the expenditures, amounts and funding sources for the FY 2009/10 COPS Option expenditures proposed by the Chief of Police. The General Fund expenditures are budgeted in the City's adopted budget for FY 2009/10. Funding Source Summary Funding Source Amount Total General Fund $181,363 Total COPS Option Grant $316,778 Total Combined Funding Sources $498,141 As stated, the award of $316,778 is $11 6,778 more than the amount estimated in the FY 2009-2010 Adopted Budget. This $116,778 will be additional salary savings for the General Fund. RECOMMENDATION That the Mayor and Common Council close the public hearing, and that said Resolution be adopted.
