Adopt a resolution to approve the proposed expenditure plan for the FY 2010/11 Supplemental
Law Enforcement Services Fund.
DISCUSSION
For the 15th consecutive year the State of California is providing grant funding to State law
enforcement agencies through the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF). The
California State Legislature allocates funding to local government agencies annually since the
program was initiated through Assembly Bill 3229 in 1996. The 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 citywide targeted law enforcement activities. These funds are to supplement
existing services and shall not be used to supplant or replace existing funding. Total funding
allocation is based on annual estimated population figures for respective counties and cities.
The projected funding amount for FY 2010/11 is estimated at $432,820. In compliance with the
requirements of this legislation, the Orange County Supplemental Law Enforcement Oversight
Committee has requested that all cities obtain City Council approval of their Description of
Planned Expenditures for FY 2010/11. The Police Department plans to utilize these funds to hire
up to four Police Recruits depending on actual funding received. These new officers will be
assigned to frontline patrol officer duties after they complete basic POST required training.
