CC - Item II.B - Public Hearing to Consider Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program FundTO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BILL 4&, CITY MANAGER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 10, 2002
RE: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
BLOCK GRANT (LLEBG) PROGRAM FUNDING
For the past six years, the City has participated in the federal Department of Justice Local
Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Program. The LLEBG Program provides local
government with funds to underwrite projects designed to reduce crime and improve
public safety. For FY 2002 -03, the City will receive $94,317 (matched by $10,480 of
city funds) from the Department of Justice to fund law enforcement activities. This
amount will be combined with the FY 2001 -02 allocation of $136, 953 for a total of
$241,750 and be used for the funding of one Motor Traffic Enforcement unit and one
Law Enforcement Technician in support of the city's Community Oriented Policing
program. The amount of funds a jurisdiction receives is based upon the average annual
number of Uniform Crime Reporting Part I violent crimes reported to the FBI for the
three most recent calendar years.
The City filed its FY 2002 -03 application and it has been conditionally approved,
pending confirmation of LLEBG Advisory Board review and the City Council's final
authorization. The Advisory Board has unanimously approved the Sheriffs Department
expenditure recommendations to allocate requested FY 2002 -03 grant funds for
continued funding of the Motor Traffic Enforcement unit and the Law Enforcement
Technician and overtime expenses in support of the Community Oriented Policing
program. In prior years, expenditures have been utilized for equipment, hiring of non -
sworn personnel and overtime for special assignment details and extending services.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council conduct the required public hearing and approve
the funding recommendation of the LLEBG Advisory Board for FY 2002 -03.
