PUBLIC HEARING ITEM
1. SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES FUND (SLESF)
In 1996, AB 3229 established the Citizen's Option for Public Safety (COPS)
grant program. Proceeds from the program can only be used for front line law
enforcement services that may include the purchase of new equipment, hiring of
additional personnel and increasing the opportunity for training of safety
personnel. This year, we have been notified that the Police Department is
estimated to receive $100,000 in SLESF funding. The allocation for
SLESF/COPS grant funds for all law enforcement agencies is being coordinated
through the Orange County Sheriffs Department. All agencies have been
directed to move forward with expenditure authorization while waiting for the
final grant amounts to be determined.
The Police Department is proposing that this year's allocation be used to staff
the Crime Analyst position for a fifth consecutive year. Money remaining after
funding this position, if any, will be applied to crime analysis software licensing
and upgrades. This bill requires both a public hearing and a special fund
established for these monies.

REGULAR BUSINESS ITEMS
11. CITY DOCUMENTS ON WEBSITE

location of City documents on the City's website.
City Council/Redevelopment Agency August 3, 2010
Minutes Page 7 of 10
The City's website includes a large number of documents, most of which can be
accessed by navigating to a specific city department. For example, the City's
salary resolutions can be reviewed by accessing the Human Resources
Department listed on the website's homepage.
Councilmember Palmer wants to discuss which City documents should be
combined into one location, thereby allowing documents to be more easily
visible and accessible to the public.
Staff was given direction to return to the City Council with recommended
changes to the City's website and implementation schedule.
12. CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MATERIAL - PAPERLESS OPTION
The City Clerk's Office has been reducing the number of City Council agenda
packets that are printed. The agenda material for City Council meetings is
included on the city's website. Reducing the number of agenda books prepared
for each meeting reduces labor and paper costs.
The City Clerk's Office has contacted other public agencies that have converted
to paperless options. The conclusion of each agency is cost savings can be
achieved.
The City Council, if so desired, could receive its agenda material in an electronic
format. At City Council's direction, staff can return at a later date with options
and costs to eliminate use of paper for the City's Council agenda material.
Staff was given direction to prepare recommendations and cost estimates to
implement a paperless option for Council agenda packets.

• UPDATE - AB 32 AND SB 375 IMPLEMENTATION
Assembly Bill (AB) No. 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006,
addresses climate change and global warming resulting from the release
of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere. A key goal of
AB 32 is a reduction in the state's GHG emissions to 1990 levels by
2020. Senate Bill (SB) No. 375 seeks to achieve this goal in the
automobile and light truck sectors by providing for regionally based GHG
reduction targets achieved through integrated transportation, land use,
and housing planning designed to reduce vehicle miles travelled. This
report provides an overview and update to the Council on the
implementation of AB 32 and SB 375.
