SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER USE OF SUPPLEMENTAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES GRANT FUNDS FOR THE 2001/2002
FISCAL YEAR
BACKGROUND
Every year since 1996, the State of California has provided
funding for cities and counties for law enforcement activities
in the form of Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Grants.
The funds must be used for "front line municipal police
services," as determined by the City Council during a public
hearing held each year. In previous years, the City of Moorpark
has received and used these funds as follows:
1996/97 $64,578 Motorcycle, computer upgrades,
video cameras, miscellaneous
1997/98 $65,320 Administrative Assistant position,
vehicle expenses, video surveillance
camera, night vision binoculars,

Similar to the 2000/01 fiscal year, the State budget includes
funding for each jurisdiction to receive a minimum of $100,000
in funding for 2001/02. This $100,000 allocation, along with
the balance of $46,082 already available in the fund, means that
$146,082 is available for the 2001/02 fiscal year. The adopted
budget includes only $71,658 in expenditures from these grant
funds, as these new revenue amounts were not known at the time
the budget was adopted.
For the 2001/02 fiscal year, staff recommends that the funds be
used as follows:
Continuation of Administrative Assistant Position. This
position was created in 1997 to reduce the number of
administrative tasks performed by sworn officers, allowing them
more time in front line duties. The cost of this position for
2001102 is estimated to be $66,594. The budget adopted by the
Council already includes SLES grant funding of this position.
Maintenance of two new vehicles. As directed by the City
Council in the 2000/01 fiscal year, these grant funds were used
to purchase vehicles for the High School Resource Officer and
for the detective bureau. As part of the direction to purchase
these vehicles, the City Council also directed that the grant
funds be used to maintain the vehicles during the 2001/02 fiscal
year. The cost of maintaining these two vehicles is estimated
to be $5,064 and is already included in the 2001/02 budget
adopted by the City Council.
New 40 -hour patrol officer. Included in the 2001/02 fiscal year
budget is the addition of one 40 -hour patrol officer, funded for
only 10 months this year. The total cost of this position, for
10 months only, is expected to be $106,948, of which
approximately $36,016 will be funded with previously received
and anticipated funds from LLEBG grants. The balance, $70,932,
was funded with general funds in the adopted budget, pending

final action by the State of these SLES grant funds. It is
recommended that these grant funds be used to provide full
funding for this position for 10 months only this year.
In summary, the $146,082 in available SLES Grant funds would be
spent during the 2001/02 fiscal year as follows:
Continuation of the Administrative Assistant position $66,594
Maintenance of two new vehicles $5,064
Partial funding for new 40 -hour patrol officer $70,932
Total $142,590
Carryforward to future years for other uses $3,492
Even if the State budget continues to provide a minimum of
$100,000 per year to the city, note that this amount is not
sufficient to fully fund the Administrative Assistant and new
40 -hour patrol officer each year. While accumulated funds are
available to fully fund the position this year, in future years
the General Fund or other funding source will be required to
either partially or fully fund the new officer position.

Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Grant as necessary;
