Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Approve an appropriation adjustment to recognize $442,268 in the Supplemental Law <br />Enforcement Services Fund revenue account and appropriate same to the grant expenditure <br />account for overtime. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The State of California provides grant funding to state law enforcement agencies through the <br />Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF). This program requires that funding be <br />allocated to counties and cities in accordance with specific requirements for front line law <br />enforcement services. Front line law enforcement typically includes community oriented policing <br />projects and special law enforcement activities that require use of additional police officers in <br />specially targeted saturation areas. <br />Funding allocations for SLESF are based on annual estimated population figures for respective <br />counties and cities. Based on Santa Ana's population figures, the State estimates that the Police <br />Department will receive $527,000 in FY 2012-13 SLESF funding. To date, the Police Department <br />has received $394,941 of the FY 2012-13 allocation. Given that SLESF revenues are based on <br />State projections, the Police Department only recognizes SLESF funds after they are received. <br />The Police Department is anticipating the final quarterly payment of approximately $132,059 later <br />this calendar year. <br />In addition, the Police Department received a late payment of $47,327 for the 2010-11 fiscal year. <br />The recommended action will recognize both the $394,941 received for FY 2012-13 and the <br />$47,327 received for FY 2010-11, for a total amount of $442,268. <br />On July 2, 2012, City Council approved the proposed expenditure plan for FY 2012-13 SLESF. <br />The Police Department proposes to utilize this funding for special enforcement and gang detail <br />overtime. <br />20C-1
