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. In FY 2010-11, the State of California estimates that the COPS program will receive $94 million from revenues generated by the Transportation Fund 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. For FY 2010-11, the San Bernardino Police Department is guaranteed a minimum allocation of $100,000 and could receive as much as $246,280. The actual grant award amount is dependent upon State Vehicle License Fee revenue. As a result, the amount of funding received in past years has fallen short of the proposed allocation amount. Due to the disparity between the proposed grant allocation amount and the actual award received in previous years, the FY 2010-11 budget will be based upon an allocation of approximately $190,000, which is $4,640 less than the amount received in FY 2009-10. The Chief of Police has prepared the FY 2010-11 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 four existing and filled police officer positions at an estimated cost of$505,981. The grant will provide approximately 38% of this annual cost. The General Fund portion of the costs is included in the FY 2010-11 Adopted Budget. FINANCIAL IMPACT The total cost of the four police officer positions that are included in the grant budget is $523,011. The actual cost is reduced to approximately $505,981 due to the employee contribution of$400 per month toward the medical benefit. Funding for these existing personnel is appropriated in the General Fund Police Patrol Division personnel budget account(001-210-5011-0000-0078). The proposed grant award of$190,000 will be used to offset the cost of the four police officers. RECOMMENDATION That the Mayor and Common Council close the public hearing, and that said Resolution be adopted.
