CAO RECONEMUD4DATION
Appoint members to the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants Program Advisory Board for the
City of San Luis Obispo.
DISCUSSION
The Federal Omnibus Fiscal Year 1996 Appropriations Act (Public Law 104-34)has made funds
available to units of local government under the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants Program
for the purposes of reducing crime and increasing public safety. These funds are based on
population and for the City of San Luis Obispo amount to slightly over $47,000. There is a 10%
match required to receive these funds.
As part of the application process, an advisory board must review the application and provide
nonbinding recommendations to the City. The membership of the board must include
representatives of(1) the local law enforcement agency, (2) the local prosecutors office, (3) the
local court system, (4) the local public school system, and (5) a local nonprofit group active in
crime prevention or drug use prevention or treatment. Based on these requirements it is
recommended that the Council appoint the following members to the board:
Local Law Enforcement - Capt. Cliff Chelquist
Local Prosecutor - Chief Deputy District Attorney Gerald Shea
Local Court System - Juvenile Justice Commissioner Jim Brabeck
Local School System - Asst. Superintendent Rory Livingston
Local Nonprofit - Frank Warren, Friday Night Live
This board will review the application and make their recommendation to the Chief of Police.
This recommendation will be presented at the public hearing required by the application process.
It is anticipated that this will be included with the recommendation for spending of the State
grant funds which were included in the most recently passed State budget and also require a
public hearing.
FISCAL EMPACT
Without appointment of the advisory board and subsequent public hearing, we will be ineligible
for the grant funds. If the City proceeds with the grant application and receives this funding, a
0?/'/
10% match; or approximately.$4;700:00, will `be. required. The amount of.this match is not
currently budgeted in Police Department funds, and Will need to be funded from an alternative
source.
