Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing $179,216 in Local Assistance law enforcement
funds from the California Board of State and Community Corrections in the Police Block Grants
revenue account and appropriate same to the grant expenditure account.
DISCUSSION
Legislation associated with the California 2011 Budget Act established the Board of State and
Community Corrections (BSCC) as an independent entity, effective July 1, 2012. The BSCC
assumed the previous functions of the Corrections Standards Authority, as well as other public
safety programs previously administered by the California Emergency Management Agency.
As part of the 2013 State Budget Act, $27.5 million for Local Assistance was appropriated for city
police departments, with the allocation formula to be developed by the BSCC in consultation with
the Department of Finance. The California Police Chiefs Association (CPCA), on behalf of local
law enforcement agencies, presented to the BSCC an allocation formula based upon the regional
needs in each county. In its proposal, the CPCA proposed that the funds could be used
regionally and in cooperation with other agencies, and with a focus on serious, violent crimes and
habitually non - compliant offenders. The Santa Ana Police Department proposes to use its
appropriation to fund overtime, crime analysis systems, and equipment in support of this effort.
Orange County agencies were allocated a total of $1.64 million, with the Santa Ana Police
Department receiving $179,216.
FISCAL IMPACT
The appropriation adjustment will recognize $179,216 in Local Assistance law enforcement funds
from the California Board of State and Community Corrections in the revenue account (no.
12814002 52027) and appropriate same to expenditure account (no. 12814413 - various).
