CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REOUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Resolution of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the obligation and expenditure of the
allocated Citizens' Option for Public Safety (COPS Option) Monies for FY 06/07 to supplement
front-line law enforcement support services.
BACKGROUND
AB 3229 (Bmlte), 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 sheriff sdepartments based on the most recent
January population estimates by the Department of Finance. In FY 06/07, the Police
Department's share of the $75 million is $392,822. This amount is $104,530 (36.3%) more than
the $288,292 allocated in FY 05/06.
In FY 2005/06, the COPS Option allocation was sufficient to cover 76.8% of the salary and
benefits of four (4) police officer positions (existing and filled) funded by this grant. The
General Fund covered the remaining personnel costs, including $4,000 to $6,000 in overtime per
officer. In the City's adopted budget for FY 2006/07, grant revenues from the FY 2006/07 COPS
Option grant were projected at $290,500, with the additional $131,317 needed to cover the salary
and benefits of the four (4) grant positions funded by the General Fund (account #001-2\3-
50xx).
The Chief of Police has prepared the FY 06/07 COPS Option Expenditure Plan (Attachment
"An) outlining his recommendations for expending the allocated COPS Option grant funding.
FY 06/07 grant funding will be used to fund approximately 68.9% of the salary and benefits for
four (4) police officer positions (existing & filled) plus $102,322 in additional overtime for the
Patrol Division (account #001-213-5015).
On October 31, 2006, the Grants Ad Hoc Committee recommended that the Request for Council
Action for the COPS Option Grant to be submitted to the full Council.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The following matrix outlines the expenditures, amounts and funding sources for the FY 2006/07
COPS Option expenditures proposed by the Chief of Police. All General Fund expenditures are
budgeted in the City's adopted budget for FY 2006/07. The $102,322 in savings resulting from
the larger than budgeted grant allocation will be used to cover increased patrol overtime costs.
