City Council .Agenda Report, Item # 2, August 26, 1997 Attachment A - Newhall Community Intervention Team Grant Expenditures AM:pm/ral count(! llebgI98.rpt AGENDA REPORT / City Manager Approval Item to be presented by: lele-Mmiahemon CONSENT CALENDAR DATE: August 26, 1997 SUBJECT: BUREAU OF JUSTICE ASSISTANCE LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation, and Community Services In June 1997, the Bureau of Justice Assistance announced the availability of funding for the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program. The City of Santa Clarita was notified that we were eligible to apply for a direct award of $178,145. The grant requires a cash match by the city of $19,790. The purpose of the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant is to provide cities with opportunities to reduce crime and improve public safety through the implementation of diverse strategies ranging from addressing the issue of violent juvenile crime to establishing crime prevention programs involving cooperation between community residents and law enforcement personnel. In an effort to expand our crime prevention efforts, the City applied for funding for a Local Law Enforcement Block Grant in accordance with the guidelines specified by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. This funding will be used for law enforcement activities. The focus will be on new and innovative approaches to solving community problems. This includes: improving police -citizen cooperation and communication; increasing police and citizens' ability to creatively solve community problems; facilitating the restructuring of agencies to promote the effective flow and use of information both within and outside an agency, and improving law enforcement responsiveness to members of the community. The grant stipulates that the funding cannot be used to supplant existing funds. Another grant requirement is the formation of an advisory board that includes representatives of groups with recognized interest in criminal justice and crime, or substance abuse prevention and treatment. The Prevention Policy Board, the body established to provide authorization and oversight for the Office of Criminal Justice Planning Grant, has been serving in this capacity for another Bureau of Justice Assistance Local Law Enforcement Block Grant the City is currently receiving, and could be used for this grant as well.
