incidents. As a result, the City of Santa Clarita has been approved for $90,000 in funding
for the 1998-99 grant year. In order to meet the requirement of the approved funds, the
City must provide a $30,000 cash match. This grant is for one year, but maybe extended

for two additional years upon satisfactory performance and subject to the availability of
funds.
Funding from this grant will be used for the creation of a.Family Violence Task Force,

prevention. This will enable the City to improve tracking of . offenders, seek stiffer
penalties, provide victims with the resources to seek help, and compile updated and
accurate statistics.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other direction as determined by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The anticipated cost of this program is estimated to be $120,000. The grant award of.
$90,000 requires a 25% match of the total $120,000 program budget which $30,000 will
come from the Sheriffs Department contract savings in account number 6100-8071.
