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 has allocated $100 million to cities and counties to supplement front-line law enforcement services. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the COPS Option funds are allocated to local police and shcriffs departments based on the most recent January population estimates by the Department of Finance. In FY 08/09, the Police Department's share of the $75 million is $327,659.00. This amount is $66,556.00 less than the $394,215.00 allocated in FY 07/08. In FY 2007/08, the COPS Option allocation was used to partially cover the salary and benefits of four (4) police officer positions funded by this grant. The Chief of Police has prepared the FY 08/09 COPS Option Expenditure Plan (Attachment "A") outlining his recommendations for expending the allocated COPS Option grant funding. FY 08/09 grant funding will be used to continue funding the (4) grant police officer positions (existing & filled). The projected personnel costs for these positions for FY 2008/09 is $513,984.00. Grant funding will cover approximately 63.75% of the personnel costs with the remaining 36.25% or $186,325.00 derived and budgeted in General Fund Account #00 l-213-50xx.
