CITY MANAGER CONTINUED TO .--"'" FILE NUMBER RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution to approve the proposed expenditure plan for the FY 2005/06 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund. DISCUSSION The State of California provides grant funding to State law enforcement agencies through the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF). This grant requires that funding be allocated to counties and cities in accordance with specific requirements for front-line law enforcement services. Front-line law enforcement typically includes community oriented policing projects and special law enforcement activities that require use of additional police officers in specially targeted saturation areas. Total funding allocation is based on annual estimated population figures for respective counties and cities. In FY 2004/05, the Police Department received an award of $512,130. The potential funding amount for FY 2005/06 has yet to be authorized through the State budget. In compliance with the requirements of this legislation, the Orange County Supplemental Law Enforcement Oversight Commi ttee has requested that all cities obtain City Council approval of their Description of Planned Expenditures for FY 2005/06 (Exhibit 1). The Police Department plans to utilize these funds for front-line crime reduction efforts such as gang suppression, cruiser enforcement, and career criminal apprehension.
