PUBLIC HEARING A public hearing provides individuals the opportunity to be heard regarding an intended action of the City Council/Redevelopment Agency related to land use or fees. (Agenda Items 1 through 5) 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 to receive no less than $102,000 and no more than $110,000 in SLESF funding. This year, the allocation for SLESF/COPS grant funds for all law enforcement agencies is being coordinated through the Orange County Sheriff's Department and all agencies have been directed to move forward with expenditure authorization while waiting for the final grant amounts to be determined. We are proposing that this year's entire allocation be used to create a new position of Crime Analyst and equip this position with related hardware and software. This bill requires both a public hearing and a special fund established for these monies. Recommendations: 1.a. Open and close a Public Hearing; and 1.b. Authorize usage of the funds as recommended by the Police Department. 2. URBAN AREA SECURITY INITIATIVE (UASI) GRANT The City of Tustin, acting through the City of Santa Ana Police Department in its capacity as the Core City for the Santa Ana Urban Area under the FY-05 Urban Areas Security Initiative, has applied for, received and accepted a federal homeland security grant. The grant is entitled the "FY05 Urban Areas Security Initiative." The grant is from the Federal Department of Homeland Security, Office of Domestic Preparedness, through the State of California Office of Homeland Security, and is intended to enhance countywide emergency preparedness. The terms of the grant require that the City of Tustin use certain grant funds for the hardening of specific identifiable targets within the City of Tustin.
