DISCUSSION
The Federal Omnibus Appropriations Act provides funding for the
implementation of the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants (LLEBG) and the
Edward Byrne Memorial Formula Grant. For 2005, the Federal government has
streamlined its justice funding and grant administration. The United
States Department of Justice, Office of Justice Planning, who administers
these two grants, has combined the programs into the Edward Byrne Memorial
Justice Assistance Grant (JAG). The JAG program provides agencies with the
flexibility to prioritize and place justice funds where they are most
needed. These funds are allocated to local law enforcement agencies based
on population and crime rates. The Santa Ana Police Department has been
allocated $207,389 for the 2005 funding year.

In previous years, the Byrne Formula Grant has been administered by the
County of Orange to fund PROACT, the Orange County Methamphetamine Task
Force, which is charged with the investigation and hazardous material
mi tigation of methamphetamine labs wi thin our county. The LLEBG funding
programs were administered by the individual cities to address their
specific law enforcement needs. Under the new Federal guidelines for the
JAG funding program, the County is required to submit one joint application
for the aggregate funds.
The Orange County Chief's and Sheriff Association has come to an agreement
that the County of Orange, Sheriff's Department, will submit the joint
application for the 2005 JAG program. The Association agreed to leave 41
percent of each city's funding with the County of Orange to fund the PROACT
Task Force. The remaining 59 percent will be given back to the cities to
address their specific law enforcement needs. Of the $207,389 awarded for
Santa Ana, $85,029 will be designated for the County's PROACT program. The
remaining $122,360 will be utilized by the City on gang suppression
activities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The appropriation adjustment will enhance the 2005 JAG Grant revenue
account (account no. 128-01-5359) by $122,360 and the expenditure account
(account no. 128-337-6141) by $122,360.
