DATE: FEBRUARY I6, 1999
RE: RESOLUTION NO. 99-08 - AUTHORIZATION TO ALLOCATE DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE JUVENILE ACCOUNTABILITY INCENTIVE BLOCK GRANT FUNDS
TO THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES PROBATION DEPARTMENT FOR THE
PURPOSE OF SUPPLEMENTING THE CITY'S GANG CRIME SUPPRESSION
PROGRAM
Last month, staff received notice from the Department of Justice and the Los Angeles County
District Attorney's office that the City of Rosemead was eligible to receive$10,470.00 in Juvenile
Accountability Incentive Block Grant funds for use in local programs aimed toward addressing the
needs of at-risk youth. Like most of the smaller municipalities in the area, the City of Rosemead
contracts for most of those services, or is a part of a County program. Accordingly, staff is
recommending that the City Council authorize the County Probation Department to administer and
expend the City's share of these federal funds. The funds would be used to supplement the existing
GAPP program by funding additional time for a Deputy Probation Officer to implement existing City
programs, such as Y.E.S.
Staff has attached a letter dated January 13, 1999 from the County District Attorney's office
outlining the available federal funds. Staff has spoken with representatives from the District
Attorneys office, and they have indicated that the City's proposal is an acceptable use of the funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 99-08.

Mr. Frank G. Tripepi
City Manager of Rosemead
8838 East Valley Boulevard
Rosemead, CA 91770
Dear Mr. Tripepi:
Juvenile crime is an issue of great concern to us all in Los Angeles County, but all
too often local resources are not sufficient to meet the needs of our cities and their
residents. I am pleased to advise you that Rosemead is eligible to receive an
appropriation from the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grants Program
administered by the Office of Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP) in Sacramento. The
1999-2000 allocation for Rosemead is $10,470. These funds must be spent
toward juvenile accountability in the criminal justice system. The United States
Department of Justice defined the twelve program purpose areas: construction of
juvenile detention/correctional facilities; sanctions programs; hiring judges,
probation officers, and defenders; hiring prosecutors; funding prosecutor-led drug,
gang, and violence programs; provision of technology, equipment and training for
prosecutors, probation programs; gun courts; drug courts; information sharing
systems; law enforcement referrals to protect students and school personnel from
drug, gang and youth violence; and controlled substance testing and intervention
for juveniles.
Time is of the essence, for the opportunity to receive these federal funds is strictly
dependent upon filing an application with OCJP no later than January 29, 1999.
The failure to submit an application by this deadline will result in the loss of your
allocated funds.
Given the short time frame available to us, I would like to take the opportunity to
present several examples of specialized community prosecution in which your city
may wish to participate. If you have not already applied for your allocation and are
interested in joining in a cooperative effort with the District Attorney's Office, we
have several successful community prosecution programs previously implemented
by our office in independent cities. Please see the attached description of our ACT
18-201 Criminal Courts Building
210 West Temple Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012
Mr. Frank G. Tripepi

and CLEAR programs. We are also able to target and reduce juvenile gun
possession and abate graffiti.
We sincerely appreciate that local needs can vary throughout the county. Your
city may have other individual concerns you would like to see addressed with
available grant funds. If your city has any additional ideas related to the
accountability goals, we look forward to working with you to create a new
community law enforcement and prosecution team.
A complete listing of the funds allocated to each city in the county is attached. If
you believe your allocation is not independently sufficient to pursue one or more of
the required accountability goals, we encourage you to contact your neighboring
cities and determine whether together you could join resources and participate in
this project. In the past, several cities have pooled funds and jointly contracted
with this office for the services of a veteran prosecutor. The total annual salary
plus benefits for a senior deputy district attorney is $122,000. The District
Attorney's Office absorbs all clerical and administrative costs for this type of
program. The potential consolidation of allocated funds might allow many cities to
participate in this juvenile grant program. You may also consolidate your individual
city funds with the County funds, if desired.
If you would like additional information regarding program requirements or have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my Special Assistant, Deputy
District Attorney Susan Steinfeld, at (213) 974-9870. Or you may contact the
OCJP Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Branch at (916) 324-9124.
Very truly yours,
GIL GARCETTI
