HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
GANG SUPPRESSION GRANT
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing
participation in a joint School District, County Probation
Department, District Attorney's Office and City application for
grant funds through the California Office of Criminal Justice
Planning.
BACKGROUND:
The Tustin Unified School District, through its TAFFY Program, has
requested the above agencies to cooperate in development of a
program designed to suppress gang activity. The grant to be
applied for provides funding for one year during which the City
would be committed to "in-kind" services and up to a $15,000 cash
match. The application requests funding for two police officers
who would be assigned to the program. If the grant is approved, it
is likely the City would assume the full cost of the two police
officers after one year. After the funding period is over, the
City could decide to continue with the program if 'it proves
effective or reassign the officers to other police activities.
