To:   HONORABLE MAYOR AND                   From:   Larry D. Lisenbee

                        CITY COUNCIL                                                        Thomas R. Wheatley   

 

   Subject:   SEE BELOW                                               Date:   December 5, 2003

 

Council District:  City-Wide

 

SUBJECT:     APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE FUNDING SOURCES RESOLUTION IN THE GENERAL FUND AND THE LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2003-2004

 

 

REASON FOR ADDENDUM

 

In the November 25, 2003 City Council meeting, a public hearing was held and the City Council approved the 2003-2005 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) spending plan for 2003-2005.  Staff recommendation for City Council approval of amendments to annual funding sources resolution in the General Fund (Fund 001) and the Local Law Enforcement Services Block Grant (Fund 415) to support the LLEBG appropriation action was however inadvertently omitted from the City Council Agenda.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

1.      It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following amendments to the annual funding sources resolution in the General Fund (Fund 001) and Local Law Enforcement Services Block Grant Fund (Fund 415) for fiscal year 2003-2004:

 

a)      Increase the Earned Revenue Estimate from the Federal Government by $676,505.

 

b)      Transfer $75,167 from the General Fund Contingency Reserve to the Local Law Enforcement Services Block Grant Fund.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) funding is received directly from the Federal Bureau of Justice Assistance as a funding allocation.  The use of LLEBG funds is only for front-line municipal police services and should supplement, not supplant, current front-line law enforcement services. 

 

 

COORDINATION

 

This memorandum has been coordinated with the Office of the City Attorney.

 

 

PUBLIC OUTREACH

 

Not applicable.

 

 

 

CEQA

 

Not a project.
