RE: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROSEMEAD AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF GRANT FUNDING REQUEST
UNDER LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT (LLEBG) PROGRAM
Over the past six years, the City of Rosemead has participated in the federal Department of Justice
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Program. The LLEBG Program provides units of
local government with funds to underwrite projects designed to reduce crime and improve public
safety. For FY 2002 -2003, the City is eligible to receive $94,317 (when matched with $10,480 ofcity
funds) from the Department of Justice to fund law enforcement activities. The amount of funds a
jurisdiction receives is based on the average annual number of Uniform Crime Reporting Part I violent
crimes reported to the FBI for the three most recent calendar years.
The first step in the application process requires the adoption of a resolution authorizing participation
in the program Once approval is received, staff will convene the LLEBG Advisory Board to review
the Sheriffs public safety expenditure recommendations. The Board's non - binding recommendations
will then be transmitted to the City Council for consideration at a public hearing prior to final review
and adoption. In prior years, expenditures have been utilized for equipment, hiring of new non -swom
personnel and overtime for special assignment details and extended services.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2002 -26 authorizing application for funding in the amount of $94,317, and
approve matching funds of $10,480 from unappropriated reserves.
