The BSCC <br />assumed the previous functions of the Corrections Standards Authority, as well as other public <br />safety programs previously administered by the California Emergency Management Agency. <br />As part of the 2013 State Budget Act, $27.5 million for Local Assistance was appropriated for city <br />police departments, with the allocation formula to be developed by the BSCC in consultation with <br />the Department of Finance. The California Police Chiefs Association (CPCA), on behalf of local <br />law enforcement agencies, presented to the BSCC an allocation formula based upon the regional <br />needs in each county. In its proposal, the CPCA proposed that the funds could be used <br />regionally and in cooperation with other agencies, and with a focus on serious, violent crimes and <br />habitually non - compliant offenders. The Santa Ana Police Department proposes to use its <br />appropriation to fund overtime, crime analysis systems, and equipment in support of this effort. <br />Orange County agencies were allocated a total of $1.64 million, with the Santa Ana Police <br />Department receiving $179,216. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The appropriation adjustment will recognize $179,216 in Local Assistance law enforcement funds <br />from the California Board of State and Community Corrections in the revenue account (no. <br />12814002 52027) and appropriate same to expenditure account (no. 12814413 - various). <br />U""' <br />Carlos Rojas <br />Acting Chief of Police <br />Police Department <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Mgmt.
